Lovely ride around the sound and a quick trip to Cook monument. We took this ride early March. It was a beautiful, sunny day but quite chilly on the water especially up top on the open deck.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise with Beachcomber Cruises. Daryl was informative and entertaining. It is a great way to see the beautiful Marlborough Sounds. We would highly recommend it. Great value for money and just the right length of time to see the sights.

It was a 3 hour absolute pleasure trip, our captain Ian kept us informed as to where we were stopping to drop off luggage and passengers in various coves. The stop at Ships Cove for a walk around was very interesting and it was a very enjoyable morning cruise.

Take some warm clothes as it may be chilly on the water. Daryl, the driver, was very entertaining and knowledgeable.

Sadly there was heavy rain for the whole trip which means visibility was poor but our skipper provided all info to make it interesting. Got off at Ships Cove and walked a TINY bit of Queen Charlotte but was VERY slippery. Would recommend trip to others.

A little long. Captain was informative. Left a tip for him. Rating was based on lack of variety of cruise NOT the captain.

As others have said, this is not really a tour. You’re basically riding on a boat while the captain makes stops to pick up/drop off deliveries (people or bags). The people on shore were extremely pleasant, but the captain was not. I asked a question about the length of time at the Cook memorial and was told, in a surly tone, that he would leave whoever wasn’t back on time. In short, you see some nice scenery but the experience is not worth it.

It was great to start with we had dolphin sighting and then cruise continue to the destination and that’s where it started to go downhill. The captain rushed us to get back on the boat because he wanted to deliver bags or parcels. For the delivery he made five stops And we felt like being part of a courier service on the way back. Even worse, forgot to take four passengers on board on the way back so they had to return to get them. We started the tour at 9 am. There was no tea or coffee available on board. You could have a coffee if you brought your own cup so basically no drinks no food and we were there with them for 4 1/2 hours mostly doing their deliveries with them highly recommend to avoid this provider. Not even an apology for the 1.5 hour delay. No explanation why scenic tour was turned into a delivery service.

We did the Marlburough Sounds and Ship Cove Cruise from Picton. The weather was quite stormy with rather big waves at sea. Almost everybody else was dropped of or picked up, so had a reason to be on board in these circumstances. There was only once 5 minutes time to get off board. We were on the boat to have a nice morning which was not possible in these weather conditions. They should have cancelled our 3 our trip. It was absolutely not worth the time or money. We didn't have anything to drink in the 3 1/2 hours on board because in the hurry to get on board she forgot to tell us we had to bring our own cup and on board seemed to be none available. The explaining was done, but couldn't be understood because of the noice of the engine and the weather. We complained at the office about not cancelling the trip, but, according to the lady, this was normal and they never cancel even though the can 't live up to their promisse that you can get of the boat to have a look around. So no good review sadly and the handling of the complaint was also not priceworthy.
