Dock & Dine this Restaurant Month - A Winter City Escape for Boaties.

- Brought to you by Auckland Central Marina.

Looking for a fresh way to enjoy winter on the water? We’re excited to share a great opportunity from our friends at Auckland Central Marina, and it’s perfect for anyone ready to cruise into the heart of the city for a weekend of good food, good vibes, and waterfront fun.

This August, boat owners can dock in central Auckland for just $99 per night, making it easy to plan a spontaneous escape with your crew. That’s a great excuse to round up your mates or treat yourself to a girls’ weekend afloat, without needing to go far.

Why August? It’s Restaurant Month!

If you haven’t experienced Auckland’s Restaurant Month, now’s your chance. The Viaduct, Britomart, Wynyard Quarter, and Commercial Bay come alive with culinary experiences, from street food to chef's tables, cooking classes to progressive dinners. Whether you're a foodie, a cocktail connoisseur, or just after something a little different, there's something for everyone.

Try a French-inspired three-course menu at La Marée, book a Korean street food and K-pop night at Hazy Tiger, or dive into a hands-on Mexican cooking class at Tacoteca. You can even bring the kids along for events like Little Chefs Masa Class and the Great Noodle Run.

Stay Awhile, Cruise Less, Enjoy More!

This isn’t about long passages, it’s about quality time. Step off your boat and straight into the action, or stay onboard with cocktails on the aft deck and harbour views all around. With free parking for two cars per berth, it’s easy to invite friends along. And you’re walking distance from Auckland’s best dining, shopping, and arts venues.

Full-Service, Hassle-Free Berthing

Auckland Central Marina makes city stays easy. You’ll have access to everything you need,  24/7 marina support, customs clearance assistance, secure facilities, Wi-Fi and shore power. It’s a stress-free base for a few nights of city-style cruising.

Make a Weekend of It

Take one night for fine dining, another for bar-hopping, and leave a third for something unexpected. From gallery visits and fashion strolls to waterfront walks and rooftop brunches, there's plenty to fill your days between meals.
