Cook Strait Ferry is the commercial ferry plying between the North Island and South Island of New Zealand. Sailing several times daily from Wellington, North Island, to Picton, the crossing takes 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.
