The 16 passenger vessel operates cruises around Marlborough Sounds, Fiordland and Stewart Island.
Skipper, Brian Appleby, knows all the nooks and crannies in these areas as he has sailed them for over fifteen years. Brian gives a knowledgeable commentary on all his cruises.
Retracing Captain Cook's voyage around various parts of New Zealand and the opportunity to go ashore in the tender to explore less visited parts of New Zealand are highlights.
Catching a groper around Fiordland is a possibility on the 5 night cruise.
In the evenings enjoy "kiwi-style" meals served up by one of the friendly crew.
If you have a group of friends you can contact Brian regarding a charter cruise to suit your needs.
Each cruise is completely different so it is hard to say which is my favourite cruise – they are all unique because of the different scenery and history.
It's up close and personal – I love it!
