Hi Kate, sorry to take so long to reply. Yes there is a cost because it is a fund raising activity. A direct donation goes to Project Island Song, which is the organisation restoring the islands in the Bay, and the rest of the profit after we pay for costs goes to support our youth sail training programme. Details of the trip are on www.tucker.co.nz/eco-sail.htm. We have some spare spaces on the next trip. They are really awesome experiences.
