Pelorus Mail Boat Ltd

Join one of the last remaining working mail boats left in the world, on the Pelorus Mail Run in the Marlborough Sounds. Operating 52weeks of the year you'll visit isolated homesteads nestled in quiet secluded bays, delivering crucial supplies and mail the same way it has been done for over 100years. View mussel farms and see why Pelorus Sound is the mussel capital of the world. Old timers row out in dinghies to meet us, while some receive their supplies on tiny, unspoilt beaches. The people of the Marlborough Sounds are as much a part of the area as the history and majestic beauty.

Join us on our mail boat for the experience of a lifetime. Let us take you on our spectacular mail run or drop you at your accommodation in the Marlborough Sounds.
The Mail run operates &days per week from November to April and Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from May to October.

Exclusive charters and group enquiries also welcome.
