THE FINAL Passage! | Sailing New Caledonia to New Zealand
We Made It to New Zealand!⛵ Our FINAL Passage is complete
After years of ocean crossings, island hopping, and unforgettable adventures, this is it — our very last passage on the sailboat. In this episode, we sail from New Caledonia to New Zealand, crossing one of the most challenging stretches of open ocean in the South Pacific.
This leg is known for unpredictable weather, strong winds, no wind and serious seas — and we got a taste of it all. Join us as we reflect on what it means to reach the final destination after years at sea, and share a raw, real look at life during passage.
🔹 Route: Nouméa, New Caledonia ➡️ Opua, New Zealand
🔹 Distance: Over 900 nautical miles
🔹 Duration: 7 days at sea
🔹 Conditions: Squalls, swell, and emotional goodbyes
Kiana is for sale: https://viningmarine.co.nz/yachts/sceptre-41-capable-bluewater-cruiser/
This isn’t just another sailing vlog — it’s the end of an era. Thank you for being part of our journey. 🌊💙

Breaking Waves
Alie and Ben living aboard SV Kiana (1989 Sceptre 41) in British Columbia, Canada. We have lots of projects to complete preparing Kiana to be back into her former world circumnavigation form. Our dream is to find remote surf breaks near acceptably safe Anchorage’s - motivated to disprove the idea that sailing and surfing don’t go well together, or at least have a lot of fun and adventures trying. If you are new to the channel try starting with our Season 2 playlist. If you enjoy that Season 1 and Season 0 are great character builders and fun to watch now that you got to know us :). We produce and release sailing lifestyle Youtube Videos on the 1st and 15th of every month! Check out what our goals are here! https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/TX29UVVIHMJS?ref_=wl_share You can follow our adventures on instagram @breakingwaves.sailing Like the channel?
