Bay of Islands Marina

Tucked into Opua on the western shore of the Bay of Islands, this full-service marina with over 400 berths is New Zealand's main Port of Entry for offshore cruisers arriving from the Pacific — so you'll find a genuinely international crowd and solid facilities to match. It sits on the doorstep of one of the country's most celebrated cruising grounds, with 144 islands, sheltered anchorages, and the historic town of Russell just a short ferry ride away.
