What to expect
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.
Reviews
possibly best 'cruise' of this type I've taken ... James as skipper had dry knowledgeable humor as at home, Rachel more then matched him ... they even organized amazing weather, the sounds and scenery spoke for themselves ... enough to keep engaged for 6 hours but quiet enough to be quiet and reflect
