Visitor berths

Sailing into Wellington? Tie up in the middle of the city; restaurants, Te Papa and the CBD are a short stroll from your bow.

Booking your stay

Phone the office on 04 382 9300 or email office@chaffersmarina.co.nz at least 24 hours before arrival and we’ll allocate an available berth to suit your vessel. The earlier you let us know, the better we can plan your allocation.

Your berth rate includes fresh water, showers and rubbish, and there’s a coin-operated laundry on site. There’s no minimum stay: one night, one week or a month, entirely up to you.

Planning your visit? Life at Chaffers has what’s nearby, from cafés and restaurants to Te Papa, the waterfront and the CBD, plus what’s on around the waterfront.

Superyachts

Visiting Wellington on a superyacht?

We can arrange a berth for your tender, so crew and guests can come ashore right in the middle of the city. The CBD, Te Papa and the waterfront are a short walk away, and Wellington Airport is about 15 minutes by car.

Contact the office before you arrive with your vessel’s details and dates, and we’ll set everything up.
