New Zealand's waters are some of the most beautiful and varied in the world, and the Hauraki Gulf is often called a playground for boaties due to the sheer number of islands you can visit. As a boat owner or skipper, it's essential to understand the rules of the road to ensure safety for yourself and others. In this article, we'll cover the give-way rules on the water, speed restrictions in harbours and by beaches, navigational marks, and the general boating code to keep you safe this summer.

With the Summer season almost upon us, we thought it was an opportune time to revisit the rules of the water - as a reminder to experienced boaties and a guide for new boaties. Take care out on the water this busy season!
