Portage Marina
Facilities & Weather Forecast

The marina has 340 berths for vessels from 10 to 30 metres, and has all the services you’d expect in a small, smart working port. If entering by boat, remember that the Havelock channel is more tidal than the entrance to other marinas, but it’s a very well surveyed and maintained channel with excellent navigation markers. Contact our Marina Service staff for maps and further details, or view the channel map in the amenities section below.
