Called “the best big-boat regatta in NZ” by Peter Montgomery, Bay of Islands Sailing Week has grown to reflect the country’s renowned status as a sailing nation.
BOISW organisers are seeking support to retain the event’s reputation as a highly anticipated fixture of New Zealand’s yachting calendar and to continue its success.
“We’re so grateful for the support of our sponsors over the years, with continued support from North Sails, Explore, Bay of Islands Marina, Gurit and others. We believe BOISW offers a unique platform and perfect location for networking opportunities, business exposure and ultimately the chance to connect with the industry at a time where the business pace may have slowed,” says BOISW Sponsorship Manager Rob White.
Bay of Islands Sailing Week stages a three-
day event in the height of summer, boosting business for local tourism
operators,accommodation providers and retailers. Next year BOISW will run from 22-24 January 2025.
With different sponsorship packages and support options available, White is encouraging any interested businesses, parties, or individuals to explore possibilities for 2025 and beyond.
