Welcome

A city marina, a living neighbourhood

Chaffers Marina sits on Clyde Quay Wharf, in the sheltered corner of Wellington harbour where the city meets the water. 184 berths, a boat lift, and a community of owners and live-aboard residents, with Te Papa, Waitangi Park and Oriental Bay all a few minutes’ walk from the gate.

Step off your boat and you are in the middle of the capital: markets and supermarkets for provisioning, cafés and theatres for the evening, and the waterfront promenade running past the marina all the way into town.
