Make it happen...
Firstly... There is no schedule or set itinerary for any of our adventures... no matter if you're looking to charter or join-a-group... every adventure is as different as the people on board... as active or as relaxing as you like... (not as a marketing line but actually... smile... ) So getting in touch with us is where any booking starts.
When dreaming up your adventure there’ll be a few questions you have and a couple of decisions to be made.
Wether you have already been onboard with us or this is your first time pondering... all you need is an idea of when and how long you’d like to be on board for to give us a call, drop by for a coffee or write us an email.

Let us know what kind of adventure you have in mind and when it might fit into your life and we'll give you a few date options and answer any questions. (We really love a chat...)
Select the dates you want, let us know and we'll hold a quote for a couple of weeks which gives you time to check in with your crew... actual details, actual price, actually make it happen...
Accept your quote and you'll have another two weeks to collect a 20% non refundable deposit from your crew to secure YOUR adventure... a little paperwork will set you up with all you need to know between now and take off...
Get ready for your adventure with final payment, logistics, extra info and packing help due about four months out and before you'll know it you'll arrive at the hangar, turn off your phone and start your adventure with your rhythms...
We're here for you and any questions that pop up along the way.

Charter
Currently, our charter rate is $11,000 per 24-hour period for up to 12 passengers (i.e. $916pp/24h) if you book for four nights or more.
Shorter adventures are quoted on an individual basis.
Helicopter transfer cost to and from Flightless depends on numbers and location, which we'll arrange and detail for you in your quote.

M.V. Flightless is based in the coastal waters of Fiordland and beyond but in order to start your adventure you’ll have to get there first.
"There" depends on your adventure but generally starts by arriving in Queenstown to then head either to Te Anau or Manapouri. So jump onto Air New Zealand site and get your tickets to fly... Note Queenstown airport can be effected by strong winds and low cloud making it a bit tight to have any connecting flights on the same day..
Due to our remote location we advise anyone coming along to spend the night prior and following our adventure in either Te Anau or Manapouri as otherwise you might quite literally 'miss the boat'. Hiring vehicles and driving from Queenstown seems to be the way most of our clients go if they are flying down. If you choose to do so as well you are welcome to leave vehicles at the hanger while you are in Fiordland which is perfectly safe and free of charge. Other options for transport are jumping on a scheduled service from Queenstown (Tracknet) or chartering a van and driver (Tracknet, Trips and Tramps).
In general all clients fly into Fiordland by helicopter to maximise their playtime and we'll organise that for you as we have a little practise and can secure good rates.

Be it a charter or a Join-a-group everything is catered for. We take along a maximum of 12 good people at a time, who can move into 5 cabins with ensuite bathrooms whilst M.V. Flightless is home.
All meals and hot drinks are supplied and we're happy to cater to any dietary requirements. We supply a variety of fishing rods and tackle, wetsuits, fins, masks, snorkels, gloves, booties, weight belts, cylinders, BCDs, kayaks, paddle boards, yoga mats, bedding, beanbags, floats and floatlines, sodastream machine, a commercial ice maker and we even share our sunscreen... So the only things to bring are some clothes (we do have a washing machine and dryer on board), any treats or alcohol you may want to indulge in and of course a sense of adventure.
Below is a bit of an idea of all the things we got covered for you...

We look forward to having you onboard with us.
