- Cook Strait Ferry
-
Cook Strait Ferry collectively refers to the ferry services plying between the North Island and South Island of New Zealand. Currently, there are two companies, Bluebridge and Interislander, sailing several times daily from Wellington, North Island, to Picton, the crossing taking about three hours. Roughly half the crossing is in the open sea, Cook Strait, and the remainder in the Marlborough Sounds.
Because of the stormy nature of the Cook Strait, sailings are often disrupted. However, the ferry is a vital link between the two islands.
