Controversial Kennedy Point marina on Waiheke Island opens today

The marina had 181 berths of which 173 were sold, he said.
Despite being sold, many berths would be available for casual rent because their owners wouldn’t have boats there immediately or continuously, he said.
Berths sell for around $180,000 to $400,000 and the marina is the first on the island.

“Our new system operates like a hotel management system, so people can reserve berths to rent, a bit like Airbnb for boats,” Littlejohn said.
Prices vary on the berth length and season. For a 6m trailer boat or jetski, people would pay $10/hour, the website showed.
For monohull berths, people would pay $63 a day for a 12m berth but up to $308/day for a 30m berth for seven days. Bookings could be made under Harbour Assist, Littlejohn said.
