Rafin 2 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Does anyone know if there are any short term visitors berths in central Auckland? Coming up from Tauranga and intend meeting a friend flying up from S.I. who will catch the bus in from airport. Ideally would like to pick them up without the hassle of renting a berth for the night. Boat is a 12m Launch. Thanks for any suggestions, Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lindsay 31 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Viaduct harbour beside the tidal steps. Depending on vessel height you may need to call on vhf to get them to open the bridge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addem 95 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 We always go to the fuel dock at orakei marina. The gate is always open. Or was when I was last using it a couple of seasons ago. It's not very busy and we've sometimes stayed a couple of hours while changing crew. There's also public parking on part if the car park as it is owned by council. Still get the security as the Marina owners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adrianp 120 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I have just booked a night in the Viaduct so I asked them about the visitors berth and this was their reply: "The visitor berth is available for a maximum of 2 hours at a time and is free to use. We don’t take bookings for this; you just need to radio VHF73 on your arrival to the marina and they can advise if it is vacant. Our visitor berth is located next to the tidal steps underneath the Wynyard Crossing lifting bridge on your right-hand side. You’re welcome to use it " 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So no need to call. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
