M.V. flIGHTleSS

Loads of space and toys.. happy exploring..

She is home away from home.. a floating batch with all the toys you can think of and the little things you didn't think of.. smile.. She is ex New Zealand navy with rich history and we're proud to have converted her into a comfortable expedition vessel over time.

Running a beautiful, versatile, homely, well kept and safe vessel is how we get to share so many different facets of the stunning wilderness areas we get to live within.

We're proud to call her HOME and look forward to welcoming you onboard...

M.V. Flightless is 27m in length and holds an international survey. This means she is not only perfect for Fiordland but also good to go anywhere in the world.
