Cruise with us for the most beautiful chartering experience in NZ. CharterLink Yacht Charters Marlborough invites you to experience and explore the beautiful Marlborough Sounds & if time permits as far as Tasman & Golden Bays.

The Marlborough Sounds is an aquatic paradise located at the top of the South Island of New Zealand. It comprises approximately 1500kms of un spoilt, bush clad coastline, enclosing sheltered bays and beaches. The major reaches of the Marlborough Sounds connect picturesque bays and coves, accessible by boat or walking the Queen Charlotte Track. The scenic beauty, historic sites, fishing, diving, and sparsely populated area, make this "paradise" an ideal place for a sailing holiday.

You can Skipper one of our well maintained and groomed vessels or we can Skipper it for you. Whichever way, you can indulge in as much adventurous activity as you would wish or sit back & relax and do very little on one of our private moorings.

Diving for scallops and crayfish and sunken ship wrecks are some of the exciting activities awaiting Scuba diving enthusiasts in the Sounds area. There are dolphins, seals, penguins, many different kinds of sea and New Zealand native birds in the area and you may even catch the sight of Orcas from time to time.
