          Martin_JM_398.JPG
"Abel Tasman Sailing Adventures is a family owned business operating since 2000.  Owners Jane-Maree and Martin Holmes have been sailing most of their lives.  For many years they worked as professional sailors around the world including crossing the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Southern Oceans. 
 
They love their Nelson Tasman region and it's with great pride they share it with you. In their opinion it is the most scenic sailing in New Zealand.
 
The Abel Tasman Sailing Adventures team are locals who are passionate about their Abel Tasman environment and sailing.  Our skippers have been working for Sailing Adventures for years and their local knowledge means you experience the very best on your Abel Tasman holiday."
