Marlborough Sounds Scenic Cruises

Freephone: 0800 MAILBOAT

World Famous Mail Run | Monday - Saturday

Beachcomber Fun Cruises are the only officially licensed operator in the Queen Charlotte Sound that delivers the mail and freight for the Royal New Zealand Post. This service means we can take you closer to the people who live here and enjoy this unique lifestyle.

Joining the Magic Mail Boat is the best way to see the beautiful Queen Charlotte Sound, the real Marlborough Sounds. Join us and share the excitement of mail day, as we reach places that other cruises can only dream of.

Join our skipper as he delivers the mail and groceries to families that live in these beautiful and remote places. Also say 'Hi' to the kids waiting on the wharf for their schoolwork or greet the many animals that come down to the meet the boat

Upon arrival at Ship Cove step back in time, observe Captain Cook's memorial, walk along the beach, view the Maori statues or read the many information boards. It is a beautiful spot, where you can imagine where Captain Cooks ship the Endeavour was anchored and observe the resident Oyster Catchers, Weka and Paradise Ducks
