What a wonderful way to experience this stunning area. I loved seeing how locals enjoy meeting the boat as it pulls up to their jetty’s to deliver their supplies. The crew were very informative of the local mussel industry etc as well as wild life in the area. The opportunity to stop off at Te Rawa Restaurant and enjoy a delicious lunch was a bonus as was sampling some of Marlborough’s finest wines while on board the mail boat.nYou can comfortably walk around the boat, go upstairs or out the front or back to get great views and photo opportunities.nWhat a great day out on the water.
Beautiful day cruising around the sounds, boat clean and roomy, nice cheap local wines/beer on board, lovely friendly farm experience host... Spectacular dolphin encounter, seals at mussel farm. Very enjoyable day out with great skipper Ross and crew!
Excellent trip yesterday. The staff were very professional , friendly and knowledgeable.nWent prepared with jersey and jacket as it gets windy upstairs outside. Plenty of room to move between inside downstairs and upstairs.nAlcohol and soft drinks to buy on board which I didn't realize when booking, so was nice to have.nVery interesting delivering the mail to the various areas, opens your eyes up to other people lives.nBeautiful bays. Stopped at working farm for a little informative story from the lovely owner about their lives and sat down for our picnic lunch. There was an option of lunch at the restaurant next door but the farm was great.nSo many interesting facts along the way by the skipper and assistant, especially about the Mussels.n$140 for 6.5hr cruise/tour amoung the beautiful sounds - great value.nTo top it off we saw lots of dolphins putting on a show for us - AMAZING. This was helped by the skipper maneuvering the boat in the right places. Thank you.
We had an absolutely wonderful day out on the Pelorus Mail run trip last Friday. Thanks to Ross and Lynette for their very informative commentary, fun stories and constant attention to ensure everyone was happy all of the time. Such an awesome trip, being a 'local' rather than a tourist. Cheers Penny and Roger
Outer Sounds Mail Boat run on a beautiful day - couldn't have been better. Journey was very information with Ross, the skipper, giving a running commentary as we visited each island. The speaker system on top deck could have been clearer especially when engines were running fast. Otherwise the trip was faultless, the boat spotlessly clean & service 1st class. Take your swimmers if on a warm day - beautiful swimming spot at lunch break. Also a jacket & 'tie-down' sunhat.
