About Deep Cove Charters...
|
Deep Cove Charters is owned and operated by Chris and Diane Lemin and has been operating since 1991, mainly catering for daily diving and fishing charters. In 2003 we started our overnight cruises aboard the comfortable vessel "Flyer" on Doubtful Sound. In 2007 we decided to build a brand new vessel "Seafinn" with your comfort and privacy in mind.
Operation started on 1 October 2008. We offer a personal and friendly service. We are the real deal "Kiwi Operators".
Diane is your first point of contact with Deep Cove Charters. She is at the end of your email, letter or phone call.
Diane is often referred to as the "Lady in Red" as she is always meeting and greeting each and everyone of our special guests in her now famous red vest.
Diane will also be there to greet you as you return from your cruise of "a Lifetime" and to make sure that you have had a wonderful time, (an easy job this one).
Chris is your skipper at the helm. He is also your guide and chef.
Chris has been travelling, diving and fishing in the fiords, mainly in the Doubtful Sound area, since 1976. Chris has loads of experience and his knowledge of the area is legendary. He is at home in the Fiords.
Chris, with the help of crew, prepares and cooks all your mouth watering meals, his cooking skills have become something of a legend, and he does it all with a smile.
You will be in the most capable and safest of hands. He enjoys each and everyone of his passengers and makes sure all have a trip to remember.
We at Deep Cove Charters are dedicated to making sure that your trip is one of a lifetime, as many have already experienced. Your trip, safety and comfort are our main priorities and we will do all to make sure it is one of your lifetime memories.
Come and join us and be apart of the experience. |
