Boating facilities

Moorings and launching boats

The Wellington region has two magnificent harbours and 500 kms of coastline which together make a wonderful playground for boaties.

Boat owners with keel boats or launches need a space to keep their boats. Wellington Harbour has several marinas to chose from. These offer a convenient and safe berth for boats.  Our marinas and pole moorings page has contact details

Another option is a swing mooring, cheaper but with potentially significant downfalls. 

Owners of trailer boats need launching ramps at one the following locations to get their vessels in and out of the water:

• Kapiti Coast launching ramps
• Porirua launching ramps
• Wairarapa Coast launching ramps
• Wellington launching ramps

Apart from the swing moorings all these facilities are owned, operated or maintained by other organisations. Please contact them directly for information on, or comments about their facilities.
