Can't recommend New Horizon enough for anyone doing the East Coast.
Did the New Horizon 2 day 2 night sailing adventure and it was everything I hoped for. The boat is gorgeous
The water slide off the back was so fun and the crew were absolute legends.
This trip was absolutely incredible, loved the old school charm of the timber boat and got to see Whitehaven Beach plus some amazing snorkeling spots!
Such a cool experience, I've never sailed and this was such a good introduction. Can't recommend it enough
Best sailing experience ever on New Horizon, the social atmosphere was perfect and waking up on that beautiful wooden boat surrounded by crystal clear water was unforgettable!

Love that they have a movie lounge for the evenings. The water slide was an absolute hit and the dive board was hilarious to watch people attempt! BYO
