Twenty minutes by road from Blenheim Airport (in the heart of the best wine growing region in New Zealand), Picton is usually the starting point for your cruise, although we can reposition vessels to Portage and Havelock.

Marlborough Sounds scenery is spectacular, ranging from towering forest clad mountains, through tranquil bays and coves to the rugged exposed shoreline of D'Urville Island.. West of D'Urville is Tasman Bay, where golden beaches, warmer waters and the Able Tasman National Park Walkways await.

A large proportion of New Zealand’s green-lipped mussels are grown in this area and there’s good fishing in the outer reaches of these sounds as well.

Despite their remoteness the Sounds offer some unique opportunities to dine ashore at hideaway retreats.

The Marlborough Sounds is one the sunniest climates in the country. However it is in the lower latitudes and can likewise be very cool. The best time to take a yacht charter in the Marlborough Sounds is between the warmer, drier months of November and April.  However since the Marlborough Sounds are more remote and less frequented by luxury yachts, please ask the Luxury Charter Group about relocation.
