We had a fantastic time - Andrew was a great guide through the wineries and then again on the boat. The food was delicious and it was a great experience. Highly recommend it.

We had a great time on our wine tasting/mussel cruise! Enjoyed both Nautilus and Saint Claire wineries. We wish that Andrew had told us we could purchase wine to take with us; we didn’t, thinking about leaving it in a van while on the boat. He, in fact, told us the best place to buy wine was in the grocery stores. Sadly, we missed the opportunity to buy Saint Claire wines because they were closed on our last remaining days in Marlborough. And the wines we wanted from our various tastings in the Blenheim area were not in any of the three grocery stores we checked. That aside, the food on our boat was absolutely delicious! The bbq and salmon were very good, but the mussels were divine. Great crew on the boat too. Highly recommend!

An absolutely fantastic day. The only negative is, that it is advertised as a Wine and Seafood Cruise with a free glass of wine. That is not the case. You receive a burger, no glass of wine and later on they present mussels and a small portion of salmon. The advertising needs to be reworded. All the same, an excellent day.
