Maritime NZ: Auckland boaties encouraged to know the rules of Safer Boating and COVID-19

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*, all boating activities should be limited to people from the same household. Visit covid19.govt.nz
