Chaffers Marina
Chaffers Marina
Chaffers Marina is a floating deep-water marina situated in Wellington's inner harbour, occupying the water area between Clyde Quay Wharf and the reclaimed land on which Te Papa (Museum of New Zealand) stands.
Completed in 1993 as part of the broader Lambton Harbour Development Project, it accommodates 185 berths ranging from 10 to 18 metres in length, with water depths extending from around 3 metres at the shoreline to 10–12 metres on the seaward side.
The marina is protected by a floating breakwater and serves both visiting vessels and long-term berth licence holders.
Its central location puts it within easy walking distance of Wellington's CBD, bars, cafes, and other services, and it sits approximately 5 km from Wellington Airport.
