Bay of Islands Marina is a full-service marina offering 400 berths at the gateway to one of New Zealand’s leading marine playgrounds. It provides an excellent home base, where you can relax in a peaceful setting with your vessel securely moored in a world-class facility, naturally sheltered from ocean swells by the 144 islands that form the Bay of Islands. Situated in Port Opua—the main port of entry for yachts arriving from the Pacific—the marina features a safe, clearly marked approach suitable for arrivals both day and night. Customs and quarantine berths are conveniently located along the outer breakwater. Following recent expansion, a variety of berths are available for short- and long-term lease. Amenities include hot showers, pump-out services, a diesel fuel dock, Wi-Fi, postal services, and welcoming facilities for liveaboards. Next door, Port Opua Marina Park offers a comprehensive range of marine services within easy walking distance. These include travel lift haul-out and hardstand facilities, catamaran haul-out, boat builders and riggers, painters, refrigeration specialists, mechanics, marine electronics technicians, a chandlery, car hire, insurance and brokerage services, storage options, a laundry, a café, and a hairdresser. Opua is just five minutes by road from Paihia, the hub of the Bay of Islands, 20 minutes from Kerikeri and Bay of Islands Airport, and a short water crossing from historic Russell. The marina’s friendly team is readily available by phone or in person at the marina office to provide assistance and advice as you settle into your new port of call.
