Tutukaka Marina

Privately operated marina serving the Poor Knights Islands dive and game-fishing community on the Northland east coast.

Geographic context

Small, sheltered harbour with an exposed entrance. Easterly swell can produce a tricky bar in heavy weather. Direct access to the Poor Knights Marine Reserve.

Insurance considerations specific to Tutukaka Marina

Marine insurance cover is broadly similar across Northland, but the geographic and operational character of each harbour produces some specific factors worth discussing with your insurer:

• Game-fishing electronics and outrigger gear sub-limits
• Bar-crossing conditions in the policy navigation area
• Exposure to easterly weather at the harbour entrance

General factors to verify with your insurer

For any marina-based boat in New Zealand, the factual items worth checking in the policy schedule and product disclosure statement are:

• Whether the policy is written on agreed value or market value
• The default navigation area and any extensions you need for your planned use
• Excess levels for hull, machinery, third-party, and named-windstorm claims
• Marina-required minimum third-party liability cover (specified in your berth licence)
• Storm-mooring chafe, breakaway, and adjacent-vessel-contact cover
• Sub-limits for outboards, tenders, fishing gear, and electronics
• Whether on-hard storage cover applies during haul-out / lay-up

Find out what your marina requires

Each marina operator sets its own berth licence conditions, including the minimum third-party liability cover it requires from berth holders. Marina-required cover figures are commonly between NZ$2 million and NZ$10 million depending on the marina, but the current figure is set out in your berth licence — contact the marina office or check your licence document for the up-to-date minimum.
