Book exclusive charter of our vessel, the Pelorus Express, for your private tour, club day out, school camp, special celebration, work function or group travel to a Marlborough Sounds location.

With room for up to 60 people, we can accommodate a range of group sizes and requirements, from school trips, team building outings or meetings, celebrations and even weddings.

Hold your event while cruising the stunning Marlborough Sounds, or ask us to arrange fast, efficient transport for your group to any Pelorus/Te Hoiere Sound, Mahau Sound or Kenepuru Sound destination, including lodges and restaurants, private accommodation and the Nydia Track.

To make your charter experience even easier, we can organise transport for your group to our base in Havelock from Picton, Blenheim and Nelson, including Marlborough Airport and Nelson Airport. Contact us for enquiries, or book your own through Marlborough Tour Company.
