Westhaven Marina in Auckland, New Zealand, is the largest yacht marina in the Southern Hemisphere. The marina has nearly two thousand berths and swing moorings, and tends to be continually booked. Auckland, known as 'City of Sails', is generally known for its maritime passions.
It is owned by Auckland Council, as successor to the Auckland City Council, which bought it from Ports of Auckland in 2004 for NZ$46 million.
In 2008, it received its second-time-running international 'Blue Flag award' for its water quality, environmental management and safety standards. It is one of 640 marinas worldwide (and the only marina in New Zealand) to have received the award.
During the 1950s the foreshore of St. Mary’s bay disappeared under the approaches to the Auckland Harbour Bridge [opened 1959]. For over a century St Mary's Bay had been the location of several small commercial boat-yards mixed in with the private moorings from houses set on the harbour cliffs above the bay. All these facilities were now to be cut off from the water.
Flight in and around Westhaven Marina, Auckland city and looking on to Auckland Harbour bridge.
The name is from the Māori language, with Wai te Mataa referring to obsidian glass. The 'sparkling waters' (a later translation of the meaning) of the harbour were said to glint like the volcanic glass prized by these early arrivals to the harbour The Auckland Harbour Bridge has shaped Auckland's visual landscape since it was opened in 1959. The bridge continues to provide safe passage for approximately 165,000 cars per day across the Waitemata Harbour. Westhaven Marina is one of the largest marinas in the southern hemisphere.

A quick timelapse at dusk on Auckland's new boardwalk in Westhaven Marina. Shot while I was making a panoramic photo with the Fotoman 617.
Auckland's Westhaven marina, clean enough for discerning sea monsters. I spotted this wee beastie on the way to my dinghy early one morning. This is in a bit of a backwater, so some surface scum to be expected, obviously it didn't put off this customer.
This video documents our first coastal trip in 'Village Kid', a Farr1020 designed by Bruce Farr in the early 80s. Part 1 begins with our departure (please excuse the cheesy wild west cattle drive music) from Westhaven Marina in Auckland (New Zealand) for Waiheke Island, which was our first overnight stay of the trip, due to a later than expected departure. I purchased Village Kid in 2001 and over the next few years set her up with hydraulic steering controlled by joystick, and a gimballed seat forward facing seat, which together enable me to helm the boat comfortably and safely. I had a motorcycle accident in 1981 and as a result had a few physical abilities curtailed from that point onwards due to a spinal cord injury. The technical term being Quadraplegia level C6/7 and right arm ampu...
