Tasman Sea Cruising Guide
An online cruising guide for yachts sailing around the Tasman Sea.
The Tasman Sea is the region of the South Pacific Ocean between Australia and New Zealand. Although it has a reputation as being one of the roughest stretches of water in the world, at certain times of the year a Tasman Sea crossing can be pleasant and fairly placid. Be aware, however, that as recently as 2013 yachts have been lost in this region without trace (most recently the SV Nina) and so proper planning and preparation for any trip is most strongly advised.
Cruising the region
Generally speaking, one does not "cruise" the Tasman Sea, but use it as a passage between two or more of the countries and territories that border it. These include:
- Australia, in particular Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania
- New Zealand, the main ports of call before or after a Tasman Sea crossing being Opua, Auckland, Nelson or Wellington
- Lord Howe Island
- Norfolk Island
