Cruising New Zealand South
The South Island is wilderness cruising: the drowned valleys of the Marlborough Sounds, the sheer-walled fjords of Fiordland where Milford and Doubtful Sound bite deep into the Southern Alps, and Stewart Island's lonely anchorages at the bottom of the world. It is cold, remote, and short on services — country for the self-sufficient, on official survey charts. This region covers the Marlborough Sounds, the West Coast, Fiordland and Stewart Island.
