“Altair represents the perfection and quality of the workmanship that has been available locally. It couldn’t have been done any better – the challenge was met at a very very high level. We came to Port Nikau because of the skillset that is here in Whangārei, especially for a refit of a classic yacht of this period. We knew local shipwrights and boat builders that could help. The level of workmanship here is second to none of anything I have seen in the world of 40-odd years in the industry, visiting some of the best yards in Europe and America. It’s strange to find everything you want in a small community like this. It’s been fantastic.”
Nigel Blackbourn Captain of Altair, berthed at Port Nikau from March 2020 - March 2022
