Whangārei is a warm, friendly city where people still smile and wave at each other in the street. It’s in the northern part of New Zealand - the warmest part of the country, known for its sunshine hours and beautiful island landscapes. 

​

All of our marinas welcome international cruisers living aboard their boats. The cruising community is sociable and friendly.  You’ll make new friends and connect with a truly special place.

A choice of marinas

With four marinas to choose from, you'll find a place that is perfect for you... and your boat. Choose from proximity to the town or the beautiful Marsden Cove.
