Scenic Cruise & Waterside Dining from Picton

Spend the day exploring the Marlborough Sounds on a Cruise & Lunch package with Cougar Line. Located right on the jetty at Endeavor Inlet, the Boatshed Cafe & Bar is a fantastic venue for casual waterside dining, barista coffee and local Marlborough wine & craft beer. Take a scenic cruise from Picton to Endeavor Inlet to enjoy a homemade, stone-baked pizza or delicious sharing plate, before catching the return cruise across Queen Charlotte Sound.

The Cruise & Lunch experience with Cougar Line begins at Picton Town Wharf, where you meet the friendly crew and set off to cruise Queen Charlotte Sound. As you admire the Marlborough Sounds scenery, don’t forget to look out for wildlife such as dolphins, penguins and native seabirds before landing at the secluded Endeavor Inlet. The Boatshed Cafe & Bar at Punga Cove offers a warm welcome, so take a seat, drink in the views and tuck into local Marlborough food and drinks. The Cougar Line cruise then meets you at the jetty and transports you back to Picton after an incredible day of scenery and lunchtime dining.
