Nelson Marina
Nelson Marina sits at the heart of Port Nelson, giving you easy access to the Tasman Bay cruising grounds. You'll find long-term and visitor berths, a travel lift, hardstand, and a boat ramp with trailer parking all in one spot — making it a proper base whether you're passing through or staying a while. The marina office monitors VHF Channel 73 and is just a short walk from Nelson's cafes, shops, and the Saturday market.
