Our Mission

Family owned and operated Beachcomber Cruises and Picton Water Taxis are proud to work within an environment as stunning and naturally beautiful as the Marlborough Sounds. When you cruise with us, you cruise in safety and comfort, aboard vessels designed to highlight the fantastic scenery and surroundings. Our skippers have a comprehensive knowledge of the Sounds which they enjoy sharing with you. The friendly office staff ensure the smooth operation of our services and are Queen Charlotte Track itinerary specialists.

A journey with us is one you will never forget

Our Vision

We are always striving to be the number one company of choice within the Marlborough Sounds. We make this possible by having family value at our core, dreaming big and having sustainable work practices.

Leaving the Marlborough sounds a memorable place for the next generation

Who we support

We are strong supporters within the local community and work closely with local organisations such as Marlborough Sounds Restoration Trust, Marlborough Youth Trust and Kaipupu Point to name a few.

Marlborough Sounds is our playground so looking after it is forefront of what we do, protecting the native plants and animals, removing rubbish, asking guest to take care with fires and asking our visitors to keep to the marked tracks.
