New era for Royal Akarana Yacht Club

Click here for Back Issues of YBQ Magazine 

The Royal Akarana Yacht Club have always known they've been perched on prime land and they now have a facility to match.

The club are in the process of moving into their new home at the Hyundai Marine Sports Centre in Auckland, New Zealand, a mutlipurpose facility that will open the summer season by playing host to December's Hyundai 49er, 49erFX and Nacra 17 world championships.

Construction of the facility has coincided with a major rejuvenation of Okahu Bay itself, which has seen the creation of a new marina on the western side, removal of close to 100 moored boats from the bay and reseeding of thousands of mussels to improve the water quality.

The bay is becoming a hub for recreational pursuits, from sailing and waka ama to kayaking and swimming. Now, at the centre of it all is the Hyundai Marine Sports Centre, a new home for not only the Royal Akarana Yacht Club and their sailing academy but also Waka Ama NZ, University of Auckland, Ocean Blue Water Sports, Sailability Auckland and the Auckland City SUP Club.

"I t’s just an incredible site and it needed an exceptional facility, something to secure access to the water for the next three, four, five generations," Akarana Marine Sports Charitable Trust general manager Andrew Brookland said. 

"It’s a marine-based multisport facility and its byline is 'pathways to the sea'. The whole focus on what we are doing here is trying to ensure the next generation of Aucklanders and New Zealanders have access to the water. You talk about the Viaduct and its lovely walkarounds and restaurants, but there’s nowhere to dip your toes and get wet. That’s what we can do. We can get people on and in the water."

It's a vision that the Royal Akarana Yacht Club have talked about since at least 1990 and it accelerated considerably when a resolution was passed at a 2012 special general meeting of the club to work towards new clubrooms. Demolition of the old buildings, which had been there since 1953, started early in 2017.

Stage one, which cost $10.4 million, was signed off as completed in April and two-thirds of stage two will be completed on November 22 when the main function space is opened in time for the Hyundai 49er, 49erFX and Nacra 17 world championships.

At last count, more than 190 teams had entered the world championships, which are being used by many nations as a selection regatta for next year's Tokyo Olympics. 

"I t’s certainly challenging and there are a few nerves about how it’s all going to be delivered but we are really excited by it," Brookland said.  "It’s going to be a lot of fun. The sailors have all worked hard just to get here so they are going to be very focused on achieving their goals. Our job is to make sure they get the best opportunity to do that. We'll look after them and hopefully they will have some fun along the way.

"We're also aware we need to look after the volunteers because we can’t run these events without them. We want to give them a great experience so they'll come back and help us again."

The Hyundai Marine Sports Centre will also host a handful of other events, including April's waka ama long distance national championships. 

The completion of construction, which is planned for June 2020 when the office, administration, training, members and function rooms are finished, won't be the end of development at the complex. Brookland said they also have a vision to create a safe harbour for sailability access to the water and V1 va'a waka ama users complete with a crane and new pontoons.

It's all part of a plan  the Royal Akarana Yacht Club hope will see membership increase in excess of 2000.

"We are just getting our toes wet and we have some work still to do but we are well on the way to delivering Royal Akarana Yacht Club's vision of creating pathways to the sea through community access to the Hyundai Marine Sports Centre," Brookland said.

SeaDream Yacht Club vs Emerald Yacht Cruises: Which to choose?

Published 10th September 2024 in Cruise Advice By Louise Harmer /cruise-news/cruise-advice/seadream-yacht-club-vs-emerald-yacht-cruises

Yacht-style cruising is becoming more and more popular for guests looking for an intimate luxury experience. Here we take a look at the differences between the charming SeaDream Yacht Club and the sleek Emerald Yacht Cruises to help you choose which is best for you...

Ships: SeaDream Yacht Club

SeaDream Yacht Club's fleet comprises two identical vessels, SeaDream I and II , each offering a welcoming home-from-home for up to 112 guests. These are vintage ships, having been built in the 1980's, but their charm endures, and they benefitted from a multi-million-dollar refurbishment in 2022. The style on board is relaxed and unpretentious, attracting a sociable crowd of like-minded travellers who return time and time again.

Guests describe SeaDream as being like a family where the 95-strong crew attends to your every need, learning your name and preferences with ease, and conjuring plenty of 'surprise and delight' moments to make your voyage truly unforgettable.

Ships: Emerald Yacht Cruises

Emerald Cruises expanded into the ocean cruising space more recently, having made their name in river cruising. Their new-build sister yachts Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara launched in 2022 and 2023 respectively, showcasing a sleek silhouette which looks more akin to a private super-yacht. Accommodating a maximum of 100 guests each, the yachts are thoughtfully designed with a contemporary and elegant style, and guests will enjoy attentive service from the crew of 75.

A third innovative yacht will join the fleet in 2026, Emerald Kaia , which has the same modern elegance as the first two vessels but represents an exciting evolution, with a larger guest capacity of 128 and reimagined onboard spaces.

Dining on SeaDream Yacht Club

Despite the yachts' small size, you can expect a wide-ranging menu of culinary delights, prepared by expert chefs, and complimented by wines chosen by the resident sommeliers. Cuisine incorporates local flavours of the region as well as 'always available' favourites, plus plant-based menus and options to accommodate other dietary preferences and requirements.

All meals are included in the fare, and you can choose to dine indoors in the Dining Salon or al fresco, plus you can enjoy SeaDream's signature dessert extravaganza, poolside sandwiches, hors d'oeuvres and more. The al fresco Topside Restaurant offers a relaxed spot for breakfast, lunch, and select dinners.

Dining on Emerald Yacht Cruises

On board the Emerald yachts you can enjoy open dining in a relaxed and elegant setting. La Cucina Dining offers buffet-style breakfasts and lunches, with a la carte offerings in the evening. Expert chefs will create dishes with locally sourced ingredients, inspired by the destination, and the adjoining Terrace allows you to dine al fresco. For light bites during the day, head to the Aqua Pool Café for sandwiches, gelato, and coffee.

Exclusive to Emerald Kaia and carrying an additional charge, the Night Market Grill is an intimate venue for just eight guests to enjoy an Asian-inspired meal where the chef prepares dishes in front of you.

Rooms & Suites on SeaDream Yacht Club

Guest accommodations on board SeaDream I and II were completely renovated in 2022 and offer a comfortable, well-designed space with ocean views from either porthole or picture windows. The Yacht Club Staterooms on decks two and three feature 195 square feet of space with a seating area, writing desk, bathroom with multi-jet shower, flat-screen TV, and luxury bath robes and slippers. Two Yacht Club Staterooms can also be combined to create a Commodore Suite, offering twice the space and amenities.

If you prefer a spacious home from home, the Admiral's Suite offers 375 square feet of space with three picture windows, separate bedroom with en suite bathroom featuring shower and bathtub, and a comfortable living and dining area. Alternatively, the generously sized Owner's Suite boasts 447 square feet of space with a separate master bedroom, expansive living area, and ample storage. The SeaDream yachting experience is all about the outdoors so don't be put off by the window-only staterooms, as the entire yacht becomes your own personal verandah.

Rooms & suites on Emerald Yacht Cruises

Fifty guest staterooms and suites grace Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara , and there is a surprising variety from which to choose. All boast a sleek and contemporary style, decorated in neutral colours with modern fixtures and fittings, and luxury ESPA bath amenities. Oceanview staterooms begin at 182 square feet and are located on deck 3 of the yacht, with a king-sized bed, modern bathroom with shower, and a picture window. If you prefer a private balcony, opt for a Balcony Suite situated on decks 4 and 5, or a Deluxe Balcony Suite which is larger in size at 382 square feet, with a separate bedroom and lounge.

If a large outdoor area is a must, the light-filled Terrace Suites at the aft of deck 5 offer an expansive dual aspect private terrace or the similarly designed and located Yacht Suites on deck 4 boast more space including a walk-in wardrobe. The epitome of luxury comes in the form of the two Owner's Suites each boasting over 1,100 square feet of space including a large private terrace, modern bathroom with shower and bathtub, and separate living and dining area.

The new Emerald Kaia has 64 suites, most of them larger in size than their counterparts on board the sister yachts, and the Owner's Suite design has been enhanced to include a spa pool on the private terrace.

Onboard activities & facilities on SeaDream Yacht Club

The SeaDream experience is a true lifestyle, and you will quickly become accustomed to this special way of travelling. Where conditions and regulations allow, the onboard water sports marina platform offers the chance to get out on the ocean with snorkelling equipment, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, jet skis and more . Other active pursuits include daily morning yoga on deck and SeaDream's Golf Simulator if you wish to practice your swing, plus the use of the onboard fitness centre. For rest and relaxation, visit the only Thai-certified spa at sea where you can enjoy massages and beauty treatments, take a dip in the saltwater swimming pool and hot tubs, or browse the onboard library.

Evening entertainment is relaxed and low-key with regular live guitar or piano music, and there is a small casino on board. A special experience on warm evenings is SeaDream's 'Starlit Movies' during which the pool deck becomes an open-air cinema, or head up to the Sun Deck where upon request the Balinese Dream Beds can be transformed with luxurious bed linens to enable you to sleep under the stars.

Onboard activities & facilities on Emerald Yacht Cruises

Emerald's state-of-the-art marina platform on each of their yachts offers complimentary use of water toys including stand-up paddleboards, floating mats, SEABOB water scooters, a water trampoline and more, subject to conditions, plus you can swim and snorkel straight from the marina when the yacht is anchored in certain locations. Exclusively on Emerald Kaia , there is a water slide and a dedicated Marina Lounge. As part of Emerald's wellness facilities, you can enjoy the onboard gym, with classes led by the dedicated wellness coach, or relax in the infrared sauna. The salon offers beauty treatments, and the Elements Spa is a relaxing sanctuary for a massage or facial.

Light evening entertainment in the form of live music often graces the main lounge, and you will find a small boutique for any gifts or souvenirs.

Bars & socialising on SeaDream Yacht Club

The yacht's small size lends itself well to getting to know your fellow guests and you will find the SeaDream experience to be inherently social . The Top of the Yacht bar is a popular spot for meeting new and old friends, catching up over a drink, and enjoying the sea breeze and views. This social hub is open from morning to evening, and you can enjoy early risers coffee or a nightcap here.

During a leisurely day spent on deck, swing by the Pool Bar for a refreshing drink or an expertly made cocktail, and as day turns to night, head to the Piano Bar to enjoy live music and request your favourite song.

Bars & socialising on Emerald Yacht Cruises

On board the Emerald yachts you will find plenty of areas to relax, enjoy a drink, or socialise with your fellow guests. On warm evenings, the Sky Bar is an expansive open-air space on the top deck, perfect for enjoying the sunset with a cocktail. The Amici Bar and Lounge is a central hub on deck three, near the restaurant and a popular pre-dinner meeting point, and this is also the venue for briefings to learn about the next day's plans, plus light entertainment.

The intimate Observation Lounge offers a serene sanctuary to relax with a book, play a game, or track the yacht's route, and the adjacent terrace is perfect for taking photographs as you sail through picturesque landscapes.

Itineraries & Shore Excursions on SeaDream Yacht Club

SeaDream's yachts come into their own in the Caribbean , where they spend winter hopping between sun-soaked isles and hidden bays, visiting lesser-travelled gems only accessible by small ship. In summer you will find the yachts in Europe, sailing the French and Italian Rivieras and Greek Isles , benefitting from being small enough to transit the narrow Corinth Canal. In summer 2025 and 2026, SeaDream II spends time in Northern Europe including the spectacular Norwegian Fjords .

Shore excursions are not included but can be pre-booked in advance of travel for an additional cost, and there will often be complimentary crew-led activities such as hikes in certain ports of call, and independent use of the onboard bicycles. Don't miss SeaDream's 'Champagne and Caviar Splash' event during Caribbean voyages: an exclusive beach barbecue with luxurious refreshments served in the surf.

Itineraries & Shore Excursions on Emerald Yacht Cruises

Emerald's yachts winter in the Caribbean , visiting the Grenadines, Leeward Isles and Windward Isles, and in summer you will find them right at home with the super yachts of the French Riviera, as well as sailing Greece, Italy, and the Adriatic coas t. In 2026 and 2027, new yacht Emerald Kaia sails the beautiful Seychelles , as well as visiting ancient wonders in Egypt and Jordan.

Emerald often offers at least one complimentary excursion per voyage, depending on the destination, and a selection of excursions which can be purchased for an additional cost, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the destination.
