Pelorus Mail Boat Cruise

Delivering the mail by sea in the Marlborough Sounds is a truly unique full-day experience. The Pelorus Mail Boat has been operating for more than a century. Between deliveries and pick-ups of mail, parcels and supplies, relax on our spacious catamaran and marvel at the stunning scenery of clear blue water in tranquil coves and bush-clad hillsides. Our friendly, crew will provide informative commentary about life in this isolated part of the Marlborough Sounds. You’ll learn what life far away from the nearest road is really like, along with some of the area’s fascinating history. There is free tea, coffee and hot water onboard and we have a range of local beers and wines available for purchase.
