WELCOME TO WHANGĀREI

A place to call it home
New Zealand map, Northland, Whangarei

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.

With sheltered waters, world-class marine facilities and a community of skilled marine specialists, Whangārei Harbour is a destination built around boating. From convenient haulouts and secure hardstands to full-service refit yards and marinas, everything you need is close at hand.
