Pelorous Mail Boat

Spend a day on sounds delivering mail

Marlborough Sounds

The Pelorus Mail Boat has been delivering mail, groceries and farming supplies by water to the residents of Pelorus Sound (Te Hoiere) since 1918. It’s been a lifeline and link to the outside world for those living in areas without road access.

Join a day cruise to meet local residents, learn the history of Pelorus Sound and spot wildlife. This is a superb option departing from Havelock on three different routes during the week – check the website for details and up-to-date departure details.
