With Auckland’s three-step plan for easing COVID-19 restrictions underway, and school holidays in progress, Maritime NZ is expecting boaties to make the most of it.
For a safe and enjoyable day out on the water, we are urging everyone to know the rules for Safer Boating and COVID-19.
In Auckland, the changes mean that all types of recreational boating, both motorised and sailing, can now take place. However, all boating activities must be completed in one day and no one can cross the Auckland boundary to go boating for recreational purposes.
For boaties planning a day trip with family or friends, the gathering limits need to be observed. Gatherings of up to 10 people, from up to 2 bubbles, can legally gather on the outside areas of a boat. However, due to the indoor spaces and the confined nature of many boats, it is recommended that all boating activities are undertaken by people in the same household. Visit
