5.00The whole experience was amazing, Chelsea assist us with booking enquiries to suit our limited availability and Captain Fred not only sailed the yacht but treated us to perfectly cooked mussels & fresh king salmon. The on-board facilities were fantastic with vast selection of local beers & wines. The crew were fantastic and made the whole experience unforgettable.
Great to see the sounds close up.

5.00Pleasant afternoon out from Picton, despite the somewhat choppy weather. The mussels and the salmon sample were terrific. We were well looked after by Eli, who did the wine and mussel cooking duties as well as the deckhand.
A Good Trip

5.00This was a great tour showcasing NZ’s green lipped muscles and salmon, not to mention the beautiful Queen Charlotte Sound. The crew were professional and attentive and the tour was interesting and over just the right amount of time.
