Orakei Marina

Ōrākei Marina sits right on the edge of the Waitematā Harbour, offering berths in a genuinely sheltered spot thanks to its solid rock breakwater on three sides. It's a smaller, prestigious marina with limited berths, so it tends to attract those who value a quieter, well-located base over a busy commercial hub. The northeastern breakwater doubles as a scenic walkway with sweeping harbour views — worth a stroll even if you're just passing through.
