Operating from Monday to Saturday, no one day is the same as the route changes daily covering a different area delivering the mail. The Beachcomber Mail Boat is the only official licensed New Zealand Post Rural delivery service by water in the Queen Charlotte Sounds.
During your cruise, the skipper will provide an interesting and informative commentary on the history of the Marlborough Sounds and the people who lived there then and now. Feel free to ask him any questions and keep your camera handy for any wildlife encounters! Take the opportunity to explore Ship Cove read the panels, take pictures or just walk along the beach.
Time permitting, we also like to take a short stop at Historic Ship Cove, named by Captain James Cook in January 1170 before returning to Picton.
