You can slip and moor boats at the Otago Yacht Club – there is berthage for boats up to 50 feet. You can moor on several large punts inside a walled boat harbour. Yachts must be prepared to raft up. Boats with a two-metre draft can only access the boat harbour for around two hours either side of high tide.
