The boat is fabulous, the Milford Sound is magical, but this experience is all about the crew.
We got lucky to have the owner Rob & captain Jimmy duo!!! 🙏❤️🙏...., both not only superior sailors and fishermen, but very entertaining as well.
Rob was raised in these waters and he has an intimate knowledge of every creature and every rock, but it's his infectious humor we couldn't get enough.
The rest of the crew is a fantastic international blend. Last, but not least, the CHEF!!!
We've eaten in many fine dining establishments on our 2 week NZ trip. The lobster, scrambled eggs with salmon and chia coconut yogurt all made it on the top of our 'best meals' list. 😉

This was a very nice cruise. We took their shuttle out of Queenstown because we were so tired from going to Doubtful the day before. It’s not as grueling a trip as Doubtful, but it’s still a long day (9-2), with the overnight on the vessel. Staff were great, accommodations were great, food was delicious. Different scenery(grander) so I recommend both, but stay out there, avoid driving, and do not do the trips back-to-back. We thought the cruise could have been longer on the water, but the sound is fairly small.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Thank you so much for taking the time to review your cruise with us in Milford Sound. As you mention, it's well worth staying the night if possible to make the most of this beautiful place and avoid too much travel in one day. Whilst Milford Sound is smaller, it is certainly grander, as you say, but we love the fact that we're able to experience it over two days, often enjoying different weather and light.
Thank you so much once again and our crew will be thrilled when we pass on your kind words.
