At all of our marinas we have two short stay options:
We offer visitor berths and jetties, for vessels up to 10 metres in length. These are available for unscheduled stays on a first-come, first-served basis at the following locations:
Picton: Visitor Jetty and Breastwork. Payment can be made online by scanning the QR code located at the jetty’s or through this webpage – Marlborough Sounds Marinas. If you wish to pay with cash, you can do so at the Marina Service Centre or the Beachcomber office (maximum 24hr stay). If your vessel is longer that 10m please contact the Marina Service Centre.
Havelock: Visitor berth located at the end of Pier C (maximum 10hr stay)
Waikawa: Visitor berth situated in front of the Waikawa Boating Club (maximum 4hr stay)


Keep your boat in the water and make the most of spontaneous adventures—no launching hassles, just step aboard and set off.
Casual berths can be booked by contacting the Marina Service Centre. Once confirmed, your berth is guaranteed and an overnight rate applies—giving you peace of mind and the freedom to enjoy the Sounds whenever you choose.
