We hired one of the Cougarline's boats for our wedding in the Malborough Sounds this month. We had an amazing day and the trip was a highlight for our guests, especially the dolphins! The Cougarline team were fantastic both in the preparations leading up to the event and on the day, going the extra mile to make sure everyone had a great experience. Highly recommended.

There was an accident on the boat because they decided to transfer some passengers between boats while in the sound. Very unsafe. No first aid kit on the boat. They did nothing to help until we got to the dock. While the owner did call an ambulance to get needed first aid the owner got angry with us when we told him how unsafe the situation was. He offed no apology or even a discount on our cost. We were lucky it was not worse. The owner was extremely rude and unprofessional.

Thanks to the Cougar Line Team! Had a great trip, got of at Ship Cove to start my 4 days walk of the Queen Charlotte Track. Loved the commentary of the skippers, extremely helpful with my luggage, even dropped me of at the Interislander ferry terminal on my last day to avoid me walking the distance. After being on the track for a few days I enjoyed the clean and cosy boat and the complimentary tea offered. Would I recommend them? Of course, super friendly and great service, cheers!

Their 'Sounds Delivery Cruise' was a good trip marred by bad weather when we went. However it was interesting to see how they deliver goods, people to lodges, walkers and even a wedding party complete with a band to coves and communities along the sounds. No wildlife seen.
