Explore the Pelorus Sounds' multitude of bays and coves aboard Ruffell Charters' launch, "Stevo". New Zealand's magnificent Marlborough Sounds is a fisherman's paradise. Its complex maze of deep channels, sheltered waterways and secluded bays, embraced by verdant bush-clad hills offers a wide range of secluded fishing spots for both the experienced fisherman and the keen amateur.

Ruffell Charters' experienced skipper will make sure you have an unforgettable boating vacation while you enjoy the abundant marine wildlife and diverse scenery. As well as being an ideal location for fishing for cod and snapper, Pelorus Sound offers a wide range of other activities, including watching for seals, dolphins and native birdlife, diving for crayfish or scallops, visiting secluded resorts and tranquil islands, or simply relaxing.

Ruffell Charters is based at the quiet fishing village of Havelock, at the head of Pelorus Sound. Havelock is the gateway to the beautiful scenery and beaches of the Pelorus and Kenepuru Sounds, and is home to many of the area's tourism activities. The Havelock marina provides mooring for a mix of both recreational and commercial vessels, which adds to the charming ambience and diversity of activity within the marina. Havelock is a 30 minute drive from Blenheim, and just over a one hour drive from Nelson.
