Bay of Islands Cruising Guide
An online cruising guide for yachts sailing around the Bay of Islands
Overview
The Bay of Islands is an irregular 16 km-wide inlet in the north-eastern coast of New Zealand. A natural harbour, it has several arms which extend into the land, notably Waikare Inlet in the south and Kerikeri and Te Puna (Mangonui) inlets in the north-west. The small town of Russell is located at the end of a short peninsula that extends into the bay from the southeast. Several islands lie to the north of this peninsula, notably Urupukapuka Island to the east and Moturoa Island to the north. The Purerua Peninsula extends to the west of the bay, north of Te Puna Inlet, and Cape Brett Peninsula extends 10 km into the Pacific Ocean at the eastern end of the bay.
Cruising the region
The main centres in the Bay of Islands are Opua (port of entry) and Kerikeri.
Russell Radio is the main radio base in the area and formerly provided HF services New Zealand wide. My understanding is that they now only provide VHF services for the local area.
