About
About Bayview
Bayview sits on the Kelvin Heights peninsula, the arm of land that Lake Wakatipu wraps around opposite Queenstown. Queenstown Bay is 1.4 nautical miles across the water at 5 to 10 minutes; Frankton Marina is 1.7 nautical miles at 5 minutes.
Fourteen sailings a week run on each leg, spanning 08:20 to 21:50 on a single daily calendar. There is nothing in the early morning and nothing after ten at night.
What the boat replaces is a road that has to travel the full length of the peninsula and back along the lakeshore. The Otago Regional Council runs the service as scheduled public transport rather than as a cruise, which is the distinction that matters: it is priced and timetabled like a bus, and it lands in the middle of Queenstown rather than at a jetty for sightseers.
