Queenstown Marina
Facilities & Weather Forecast

Nestled on the Eastern Shore of Roys Bay, looking up the Lake to the peaks of Mt Aspiring National Park, Wanaka Marina has a mountain backdrop as spectacular as any in the world. This sheltered location offers some of the best available protection from prevailing winds making it a safe facility especially suited to boating families and serves as an ideal gateway to exploring the 192 km2 waters of Lake Wanaka, New Zealand’s fourth-largest lake.

The Otago Harbour entrance lies between Heyward Point and Taiaroa Head. The harbour channel extends 5 nautical miles to Port Chalmers, then a further 7 nautical miles to the city of Dunedin. From Taiaroa Head to the container terminal at Port Chalmers, the harbour is dredged to accommodate vessels with a maximum draught of 13.5 metres, thus enabling large container ships to make Port Chalmers their final port of call in New Zealand. From Port Chalmers to Dunedin, the channel is dredged to handle vessels with a draught of 7.5 metres.
