Welcome to the Queen Charlotte Sounds / Tōtaranui the main sounds of the Marlborough sounds, a network of
sea-drowned valleys.



The Queen Charlotte Sounds were named by Captain
Cook after King George III wife, Charlotte.



Departing Picton crossing the main reach of the Queen Charlotte
Sounds will have you arriving at Double Cove, a sheltered haven of holiday
homes, cormorants (birds) and fish. Enjoy the cruise around the bay taking in
some amazing water front properties and wildlife nestled up in the cove.



Double Cove is a prohibited fishing area, home to
tame fish, fed regularly, these include blue cod, herring, mullet and the witty
mallard ducks never too far away.

discovery. The cruising area is surrounded by years of regenerating beech
forest, this cruise will allow you to see some of the best of the Marlborough
Sounds in a limited time frame.



Your skipper will be happy to answer any questions along the way
to ensure you take away the best Marlborough has to offer.
