Marina berth ownership

Ownership of a Licence to Occupy for a marina berth at Gulf Harbour Marina offers long-term access to some of the best that the Hauraki Gulf has to offer – sailing, fishing, cruising and more. Plus, licences at Gulf Harbour Marina are valid until July 2088.

1. Find a berth: contact a marine broker, keep an eye on Trade Me listings, or contact our Marina Office for an updated list of berths that are currently for sale.
2. Agree with seller on a sale price and settlement date.
3. Verify ownership before settling any funds.
4. Complete the berth licence transfer request form.
5. Ensure the transfer fee is paid (this can be paid by either the seller or the buyer, or evenly split).
6. Seller needs to confirm receipt of funds in writing to the Marina Office.
7. Marina Office will issue a new Marina Berth Licence.
