Why us?

A trusted name in mooring maintenance

From launching the industry’s most advanced mooring barge to providing the best customer experience, Moorings Northland is committed to excellence and innovation. Based in the Bay of Islands, we service around 70% of the region’s moorings, consistently delivering safe, reliable, and efficient solutions for boat owners.

Compliance is key to protecting your vessel

Registered swing moorings are required to be inspected, maintained and certified at least every three years as a condition of the mooring license with the Regional Council. Failure to do so could result in fines, your mooring being forfeited, and your boat insurance invalidated. We’re here to help you stay compliant and keep your vessel safe.

Our commitment to safe operations

The Moorings Northland team is proud of our exemplary safety record. We only work in safe operating conditions and do not work in high winds, heavy rain, or rough sea conditions. Due to our operating and safety plan, Maritime New Zealand has given Moorings Northland the lowest risk rating as a commercial maritime operator.

Hi Rob, Many thanks for your report. I was delighted to pass it on to dad – that was a quick turnaround in getting it done. Again, thank you for all your help and best wishes for the holiday season.

Hi Shirley and Rob, thanks for sending the certificate of inspection and for servicing the mooring before we had to leave the boat in the BOI, the photos are a great feature of your service. Could you also pass on our thanks to the skipper and crew of the barge

Thank you Rob for your quick response. I am grateful that you have fixed the problem immediately and saved my boat from possible disaster. These things happen and its good to know that somebody spotted the problem and kindly took the trouble to inform the NRC and that you and NRC responded so quickly. Best wishes.

Hi Rob, Yes we went and parked on it in the storm to test it, we had gusts to over 50 knots an d please to say never moved an inch. I must say your service you provided has been outstanding and by the looks of the mooring has been done to a very high standard – very pleased.

Hi Rob, I really appreciate the work that you put in to assist us to move our mooring, sorting out the NRC application, finding the spot on the ramp side of Totara North, making all the arrangements and then having the shift made. It probably doesn’t seem much to you as you are an expert in these matters – but it was something I very much appreciated.

Many thanks Rob…much appreciated. I must commend you and your very thorough and professional work and reporting…very impressive. Thanks again and all the best till next time.

Rob, I thank you for your impeccable service in locating a mooring in our preferred location, you certainly made the process a breeze for us and we highly recommend Moorings Northland for all to do with moorings.
