Our Fleet

Discover our fleet
Our fleet is made up of eight vessels operating throughout the Queen Charlotte Sound. These boats vary in size and can cater for groups, functions and weddings. We also offer a range of cruises including our New Zealand Post Mail Run and a private water taxi service operated under the Picton Water Taxis brand.


MV Lady Ann
Beachcomber Cruises are so proud to be family owned and operated.
To link this beautiful vessel into our family we have named her Lady Ann after all of the beautiful women in our family and 3 generations who have the middle name Ann.
Margaret
Melonie, Jessica, Vanessa and Lora
Anika, Keira, Mia, Arley, Narla, and Armanri
We think Lady Ann is the perfect name and welcome her to the family.
