Find Sailing & Powerboating Schools and Instructors in New Zealand
Explore Schools and Instructors by Location
New Zealand offers a distinctive boating environment defined by sheltered harbors, island-dotted cruising grounds, tidal waters, sounds, and stretches of open coast shaped by fast-changing weather. This variety makes it a powerful place to build boating skill in seamanship, navigation, docking, passage planning, and practical decision-making in real-world conditions.
NauticEd connects you with recognized schools and experienced instructors across New Zealand who provide hands-on, on-the-water training for both sailing and powerboating. Combined with NauticEd’s multimedia online courses, this approach builds real-world competence in line with U.S. Coast Guard American National Standards and international licensing frameworks, so you can confidently sail and powerboat anywhere in the world.

show details›
I have been sailing since 1996. First as crew then as skipper when I launched my own 38ft catamaran in 2008. I have been sailing the beautiful Hauraki Gulf and beyond since then and the more I see and discover, the more I am impressed with our beautiful country. I am passionate about sailing and the environment. In 2019, I passed my commercial skipper's ticket (srl24). I take great joy in showcasing the gulf and watching my students grow in confidence as they learn the pleasure of sailing. Come and join me for an amazing adventure.
