Navigation/Approach

It is recommended for yachts to motor the final 3nm of the river on the rising tide and favour the outside curves of the river. The channel is marked and dredged to a minimum of 1mtr below CD. The river bottom is soft mud. The marina is just before a bridge, so you can’t go past.

Navigation Chart No. NZ5215
