Join us and sail back in time as we resurrect the long history and rich heritage of one of our most beloved maritime treasures.
Born on the sunny shores of California in 1926, the Barbary has sailed around the world, returning to New Zealand, the home of her kauri-built heart, in 1947. She has seen plenty of action… from swashbuckling adventure with previous owner Errol Flynn to sailing with the Rainbow Warrior in the Greenpeace fleet to voyaging to the Muroroa Atoll to protest nuclear testing in 1973. She’s had her share of peace and beauty too, sailing right here on our very own Lake Taupō. The Barbary has seen and done it all.
We are committed to restoring the Barbary to her days of glory and to recapturing the hundred years of history and tradition that have suffused her decks. Every bit of her elegant frame has a tale to tell… from mast to keel, from bow to stern.
Follow us as her journey continues and we craft future adventures together.
Cruise the sparkling waters of Lake Taupō and discover its natural wonders and hidden mysteries.
