Felt awesome to get out there today with the freshly serviced motor (cheers KP Marine, absolute 5 ⭐️ work over 👍) along with Gin Palace and a few other boats.

Very slow until the turn of the tide, tonnes of little gurnard and snapper but managed to sort dinner 😎

Orange slider doing the heavy lifting on everything today 🍊 🛝 🎣

Don’t forget subs are now due for the season…

Tractor code will be changed in the next few weeks so avoid the last minute panic (or early morning text to a committee member) and click on the link below to get paid up 😉

We’re also scheduling some tractor inductions so if you’re keen to become a member and use our awesome 4 x 4 tractors get registered now so you’re ready to hit the water!

Reminder, during big tides please be mindful of other beach users and either disconnect your trailer from tow vehicle/tractor and park side by side or park parallel to dunes to allow access down the beach.

Here’s to a great season, remember life jackets rules have changed so please comply and stay safe.

Otaki Boating Club assist the pursuits of boating, sailing, fishing and water sports of all kinds

Awesome to see Mr and Mrs President Blair Bregmen Jandy Hughes and club member Graham Rankin taking to sea with Coastguard Kapiti Coast….beaut day for it!

Seasons almost upon us so make sure you’ve got a current membership with Coastguard, all the safety gear in working order and are up to date with the regs (up to 6m boats, life jackets etc just about passed in Parliament )
