The evening provided a prime opportunity for networking, strengthening ties between New Zealand’s marine sector and the global superyacht community. Attendees engaged in meaningful discussions about future visits to New Zealand’s world-class marinas, refit facilities, and cruising destinations.
Blair Smeal (Port Nikau Whangarei) commended the event, noting the enthusiasm among Kiwi crews to return home, with many planning visits in 2024 or 2025. “It was fantastic to connect with so many Kiwis working on these incredible yachts—they’re eager to explore New Zealand’s marine offerings,” he said.
