2023 Superyacht Welcome Function
The event, hosted by NZ Marine , is the largest superyacht networking event in the southern hemisphere and sees local industry companies host captains, crew and guests. Crew from more than 35 yachts were invited to the event, held on Auckland’s waterfront, with those celebrating their first season in New Zealand mingling with crew glad to be back.
NZ Marine’s Peter Busfield welcomed superyacht captains and crew and thanked them for choosing to come to New Zealand, as well as acknowledging the 47 sponsor companies that make the event possible.
The event is a chance for crew to meet with representatives from New Zealand’s extensive superyacht refit, maintenance, parts and supplies, and support industry to gain information on the industry’s capabilities, and allow crew to share cruising information with each other.
The Superyacht Welcome Function profiles New Zealand’s superyacht-friendly regulations and easy clearance procedures, which include a two year temporary import period and tax concessions. Those regulations are supported by the expansion of marina and shipyard infrastructure in Auckland, Northland and Tauranga, making New Zealand an efficient place for superyacht cruising and refit work, starting from clearance into the country.
NZ Marine , the organisation which administers Superyacht New Zealand, also invites crew to pick up a copy of the Destination & Cruising New Zealand book, which is available for download. Detailing the best of New Zealand cruising, it acts as a companion for crew both planning their New Zealand journey and those already in the country. The guide has just been re-released with updated information. Download the Guide here , and see Superyacht New Zealand for more information.

EXPERIENCE NZ
On-water, find cruising that takes you past vineyards tumbling to the ocean and islet-studded bays. Take a slow meander up fiords accompanied by dolphins and seals. Then a helicopter to picnic in valleys where glaciers make their thousand-year creep towards you. Welcome to the superyacht hub of the South Pacific.
AUCKLAND GUIDE
Fringing the Hauraki Gulf, Auckland has world-renowned restaurants and bars, and a cafe scene for coffee connoisseurs. Within steps of Orams Marine lie some of Auckland's best beauty and wellness providers, as well as yoga, pilates, F45 and gyms. With excellent surf breaks to the west, north and south, kite surfing spots and parks close by, and the playground of the Hauraki Gulf next door, Auckland is waiting to be explored.
CLEARANCE & CUSTOMS
Our experienced team make your time in New Zealand easy long before you arrive in the country, streamlining your customs and clearance processes.
Welcome to the superyacht hub of the South Pacific.

T E S T I M O N I A L S
The quality of work is impeccable and rivals the best yacht builders in the world... Orams delivered on all the work with the utmost efficiency and skill. I'm more than pleased." The captain of 49 metre Vitters-built yacht, Thalia had that to say and more, of the yacht's 2019 refit at Orams Marine
This was without a doubt, our hardest yard period to date, involving a variety of upgrades and Orams did a great job coordinating it all. They produce great results with a very team-focused environment. We’re extremely happy with Oram’s dedication and can’t speak highly enough of both Craig Park and Richard Low who made it all happen.
There's no point entering the Pacific, unless you've contacted Craig at Orams Marine first. For us, most-importantly, everyone involved really enjoyed what is normally a hectic, busy and stressful time. We all have very fond memories of our new friends, the Orams team and its extended sub-contractor family.

I have worked with Regan and Mark on five new build super yachts over the last three years ranging from forty to sixty seven metres in length. During this time they have tackled the full spectrum of fairing and painting work, often working to tight deadlines. I honestly believe they achieve world class standards and the yachts they have completed speak for themselves. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone contemplating refit or new build painting or fairing work.

Live coverage has concluded, please click here for the full wrap.
Kia ora and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the Blackcaps' third and final T20 showdown with Australia at Eden Park.

Devon Conway has been ruled out of the third match with a thumb injury, bringing Tim Seifert into the fray. Rachin Ravindra is a gametime decision, after missing the second match with knee soreness.
Unfortunately, the weather forecast in Auckland is looking dire. Rain set in early Sunday but has abated and the covers are off - for now.
We'll have all of the action for you from 1pm.

New Zealand - $2.40 Australia - $1.52
New Zealand: Finn Allen, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Josh Clarkson, Mitchell Santner (captain), Adam Milne, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee (game one only), Lockie Ferguson, Ben Sears. (Trent Boult will be added to the squad for games two and three.)

‘You can change the view’: rotating house goes up for sale in New Zealand
Engineer Don Dunick took years to conceptualise and build ‘the lighthouse’, which can turn 360 degrees to offer views of the sea or native bushland
A house in New Zealand that can rotate continuously like a carousel has been listed for sale for the first time since its owner designed and built it 35 years ago.
The building, nicknamed ‘the lighthouse’, perches on Auckland’s coastal Maraetai hillside atop a two metre-wide cylindrical steel base and is believed to be the only one of its kind in the country. A full revolution takes 33 minutes.
When its owner, engineer Don Dunick, was contemplating what sort of house he wanted to build on the coastal plot, his engineering colleagues suggested a novel idea – a rotating house that could take in the views of the sea, or the native bush, depending on his mood.
“The advantage is that you can change the view, you can change the sun, you can get out of the wind or into the wind … If there is a storm coming at night [and] you don’t want that on your bedroom windows, you turn it,” he told the Guardian on Tuesday.
“I was sitting there a few weeks ago and the sun came around and was in my TV, so I got up and turned the house.”
It took Dunick and his colleagues five years to design a system that ensured all the services such as water, electricity and sewage piping were independent and could rotate with the house as it moved – something the local council required before it would sign off on the build.
The end result is “the simplest system you’ll ever see in your life”, Dunick said, adding that it could be adapted to allow houses to rise up and down, protecting them from natural hazards such as flooding or wildfire.
Carolyn Hanson from Sotheby’s International Realty, said the property, valued at just over NZ$1m, will be sold through a tender process. Since it was listed for sale last week, it has been swamped with visitors, Hanson said. “There is a lot of intrigue from locals and now we are getting international interest.”
Dunick, now 80, plans to move back to New Zealand from his current home in Australia later this year, and hopes to semi-retire in rural Northland. Selling the home he loves is bittersweet.
“I am over-the-moon with it, it is an amazing achievement … and ahead of its time,” he said.
“But [the new owners] can look forward to a better way of living … you turn the house to suit what you want, it’s amazing.”

Two people critically injured in Mt Albert, Auckland incident - large police presence at scene
Share this article
Two people have been critically injured in an incident in the Auckland suburb of Mt Albert today.
Emergency services are responding to the incident, with at least four police cars, an ambulance, and a fire truck called to Asquith Ave about 1.20pm.
A police spokeswoman said they did not believe there was any risk to the wider public from the incident.
“Inquiries are ongoing to understand the full circumstances of what has occurred,” she said.
“It’s understood two people, who are known to each other, have received critical injuries.”
Around 3.20pm a woman was seen being taken away from the scene in a police vehicle.
St John Ambulance took one person to Auckland City Hospital in a serious condition. Fire and Emergency New Zealand said it was on the scene to help St John.
In 2020, newsroom.co.nz reported Kāinga Ora had spent $300,000 on security guards to ease concerns about one resident at its housing complex on Asquith Ave.
Homes neighbouring the Kāinga Ora development are valued at $2 million, according to the newsroom.co.nz report.
Neighbours voiced their disbelief at the incident and said they had been left in the dark about what had happened.
“I’ve lived on this street for 30 years and never seen anything like this,” one resident said.
Police officers could be seen speaking to a woman at the scene.
Another officer would not let a resident back into her home, saying “It’s a crime scene.”
Several neighbours stood on their balconies, in the rain, at the Kāinga Ora complex watching police cordon off entrances to their properties.
Occasional shouts could be heard from the building.
A person living in the nearby area, who asked not to be named due to fears for their safety, said Kāinga Ora refused to answer their complaints about ongoing poor behaviour of some tenants living in the complex.
”We had bodyguards here for months,” he said. “There was a lot of smashing but this has been escalating and escalating.”
People nearby told the Herald they heard smashing and yelling before emergency services arrived.
An hour from when the incident is understood to have occurred, police and investigators are still arriving at the address.
A man who was allegedly involved in the incident has been causing issues in the area for at least a year, witnesses said.
“If they [Kainga Ora] actually dealt with stuff, it would be a deterrent to others,” one resident said.
