Delivery Skipper Game Fishing Boat
We provide professional delivery skipper services for game fishing boats operating throughout New Zealand, including deliveries to and from Picton. Whether relocating a vessel following a purchase, positioning it for the fishing season or transferring it between home ports, our experienced delivery skippers can manage the passage safely and efficiently.
Situated at the head of the Marlborough Sounds, Picton is a key destination for both recreational and commercial vessels moving between the North and South Islands. Deliveries from Wellington to Picton cover approximately 45 nautical miles and are often completed within 8 to 12 hours, depending on conditions in Cook Strait. A longer relocation from Tauranga to Picton covers around 360 nautical miles and typically requires three to five days, while Auckland to Picton is approximately 400 nautical miles and commonly takes four to six days.
For larger game fishing boats, passage planning involves consideration of fuel range, weather windows and conditions within Cook Strait. Selecting the right time to cross can make a significant difference to both comfort and efficiency during the delivery.
