Kennedy Point Marina, Waiheke Island
Let’s introduce you to Kennedy Point Marina, just 15nm from Westhaven or 5nm from Pine Harbour where you can safely berth your Riviera then head ashore to enjoy the beautiful Waiheke Island.
Waiheke Island needs no introduction to most of us who boat on the Hauraki Gulf with its countless bays and safe anchorages but have you thought about renting a marina berth at the new Kennedy Point Marina and heading inland to make the most of the islands scenery, restaurants and vineyards?
In brief, Kennedy Point Marina is a modern, well-equipped marina located in Putiki Bay on the southwestern side of Waiheke Island.
The marina offers a range of facilities and services for boat owners and visitors alike, the marina facilities include 181 berths for vessels between 12 and 30 meters in length. The floating pontoon technology used in the marina’s construction is state-of-the-art, ensuring stability and safety for all boats. Additionally, the marina includes a floating carpark, office, and security providing convenience and comfort for all visitors.
A recent addition to the marina facilities is a fleet of rental cars so once you have your boat secured in the marina berth and hooked up to the shore power you can head off and explore Waiheke’s bounty.
Kennedy Point Marina operates like a hotel management system, allowing boat owners to reserve berths similarly to booking a hotel room. This system is user-friendly and ensures that visitors can find a spot for their boats with ease. The marina also offers casual rental options for those who do not own a berth.
