Classic Yacht Racing

These beautifully restored classic yachts ranging from 77 to 135 years old are a living slice of New Zealand’s maritime heritage. Each vessel comes with remarkable history and stories to tell.

After seeing the fleet depart the marina, follow their thrilling racing duels across the harbor from the breakwaters, or relax at one of the cafés or yacht clubs along Westhaven Drive.

For a truly special vantage point, head to the Hilton on Princes Wharf, where you can sit back in its sumptuous bar, glass of fine wine in hand, and watch the classic yachts glide past.
