Host Your Christmas Function on the Tucker!

An evening sail on board the tall ship R. Tucker Thompson is the perfect way to finish this year with your work team. Set the sails, climb the rigging or relax and drink a cold beer or wine. We serve delicious antipasto platter. You can bring your own drinks, or we can provide them.

Departing from Russell wharf at 4.00pm, the trip is a relaxing sail through the Inner Bay around the area of Paihia, Waitangi and the Black Rocks. Use your included ferry tickets and head over to Russell earlier in the day to explore this historic village before boarding the ship at 4.00 pm. After the sailing, you can choose to dine at one of the restaurants in Russell before heading home.
