Our Charters 

Fiordland is a special place, and at the core of Fiordland Charters ethos is the willingness to share all of what it has to offer. The MV Pembroke is comfortably fitted out to accommodate small private groups of up to 8 passengers. This allows your crew to engage and host you at a personal level, sharing local knowledge, stories and spin a good yarn. Explore the Dusky/Breaksea Archipelago at your own pace, no two trips are the same and itineraries are tailored daily while onboard to suit your needs. Whether you choose a 3 or a 7 night charter, you will leave wanting to come back again. ​
