The easy way to book your ferry
Picton Ferry helps travellers compare Bluebridge and Interislander sailings without having to search both websites separately.
Compare prices and availability in one place, choose the sailing that best suits your plans and book your tickets online.
It is a simpler, quicker way to arrange your crossing.
Who are we?
Picton Ferry is not just another website. We are part of the E-Ko Travel Group, based in Picton.
E-Ko tours has been operating dolphin and wildlife tours in the Marlborough Sounds for over 30 years – our head quarters is a two minute walk from the Ferry terminal. You’re welcome to pop in and say ‘hi’!
Picton Ferry was created to make planning that journey easier.
People would come into our headquarters asking us for ferry recommendations, which ultimately led to us launching Picton Ferry as as place where anyone can compare live availability AND prices, easily on one website – and then book.
Many ferry travellers pass through Picton without realising how much there is to discover beyond the ferry terminal. The Marlborough Sounds are home to sheltered waterways, dolphins, seals, seabirds, island sanctuaries and the Queen Charlotte Track.
Our first job is to help you arrange your ferry crossing. Once your booking is complete, we introduce you to selected local experiences and offers that could be relevant to your visit.
You do not need to plan your time in Picton before booking your ferry. If you are travelling several months from now, there will be time to explore those possibilities later.

Compare Bluebridge and Interislander
Both Bluebridge and Interislander operate passenger and vehicle ferries between Wellington and Picton.
Schedules, availability and fares can vary between the two operators. The best option may depend on your travel date, preferred departure time, vehicle and the type of fare you require.
We bring the available options together so you can:
- Compare sailings from both ferry operators
- Check prices and availability
- Choose a departure that suits your itinerary
- Secure your ferry tickets online

Our goal is to make the comparison and booking process as easy as possible.
