Marlborough Sound’s Yacht Charter
Located on the North east of the South Island, covering an area of 4000 square kilometers Marlborough Sound stretches from the Tasmin Sea in the west to Cloudy Bay in the east and offers some fantastic sailing through craggy coves, sea-drowned valleys and sheltered bays. This region has been made famous for its wine producing: most notably Sauvignon Blanc is world-renowned. It also famous for its beautiful expanses of sandy beach, idyllic coves ripe for kayaking and bush walking trails. Its main port Picton is a great place to meet your yacht before heading out on your New Zealand adventure.
With 1500km of coastline to explore there is plenty to see. For those interested in hiking the Queen Charlotte track has proved a popular trail for hardened hikers. It may be a little grueling but the views from the elevated track are unrivaled.
Another great stop is Motuara Island bird sanctuary on Long Island. Take a look at the penguins and learn about the other natives birds found in the region. For something a little different cruise along to the Tory channel to see a perfectly preserved whaling stations. All the while if you see somewhere you would like to stop, the captain can drop anchor so you can head off exploring, spend time on the beach, or simply get the water toys out.
