[ About us ]Aquaculture’s in our DNA. Founder Julian Goulding grew up on the water in the Marlborough Sounds, where his family began farming mussels in the early ’80s.
After time in the superyacht world, he returned home to Nelson and Channel Marine was born. Today, those same family values and respect for the sea guide everything we do.
