Live Aboard: Leave Your Life on Land Behind.

Marina harbor scene
A more meaningful life

It’s the little things that count – falling asleep to the gentle sound of the water, the first breath of fresh sea air each morning, never missing a sunset – every day is a special day at Hobsonville Marina.

Why only enjoy your boat on weekends and holidays? Change your life for the better and move to sea! When you choose to live onboard, you’re choosing to live in a more sustainable and eco-friendly way. Adventure is never far away with the open water of the Hauraki Gulf literally on your doorstep!

We've thought of everything
