EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE AND EVERYTHING YOU CAN'T
An expedition aboard the Ranui combines unparalleled service and comfort, with a unique opportunity to sail the seas aboard one of New Zealand's maritime treasures.
The Ranui's stately kauri and totara (native New Zealand timbers) exterior hint at the understated elegance within. Her spacious handrubbed teak and kauri interior is superbly appointed and fully air-conditioned. The Milford Saloon provides ample room for internal relaxation and is equipped to cater for sizable gatherings of either a personal or business nature. The dining table seats up to ten, while an extensive bar ensures that every taste is catered to. In addition the Saloon boosts a state of the art entertainment center, including television and video facilities and a Pioneer multi-CD player and stereo. Our extensive onboard video and music library provides something for every taste and includes a selection of New Zealand greats. The Ranui also provides full computer with full Internet access.
Our onboard chef will create gourmet meals with a distinctly New Zealand flavour, taking advantage of the exceptional local produce and abundant seafood. Meals may be tailored to suit individual tastes. The Ranui also boosts an outstanding selection of award winning New Zealand wines which will be specially selected to compliment your menu. Meals can be served either in the Saloon, or outdoors on the magnificent upper deck.
The Ranui provides unparalleled luxury accommodation for up to twelve. The Aramoana and Kupe suites are a statement in elegance and simplicity, and are fitted with a queen size and double bed respectively. In addition there are two generous double bunk cabins, Waka and Maui. Each cabin has full ensuite bathroom facilities and provides ample wardrobe and drawer space. Another of the Ranui's unique features is the Paikea Cabin which offers the opportunity for families to experience the wonders of a sailing holiday together by providing spacious accommodation for up to four guests.
The Ranui carries both a Hobie Catamaran and a TIGA windsurfer for those interested in the exhilaration of high-speed sailing. In addition she carries a 12-foot sailing dinghy ideal for a more leisurely sail or for exploring inaccessible beaches and coves. The Ranui also provides guests the unique opportunity to document their own holiday with our onboard video camera.
While aboard the Ranui guests will be offered an insight into New Zealand's ancient and varied indigenous culture. Richard has selected a fine selection of Maori carvings as well as art works by some of New Zealand's foremost contemporary artists. These will be offered for sale to guests during their journey.
The Ranui affords guests an extraordinary and exclusive sailing experience that will be remembered and cherished for years to come.
