About Sea Aucklan
Sea Auckand's Purpose
We enjoy the water & want you to aswell.
​
We saw an opportunity to provide visitors & kiwi's the unique chance to blend the boundaries of recreational adventure & environmentally conscious tourism.
​
The Auckland harbour is complex with reefs, rocks, speed zones & rules of the sea. By providing guided jet ski adventures, we ensure you maximise your riding time without needing to worry "Where am I now?"
​
Sea Auckland's promise to you is our adventures provide you with the best value for money when it comes to exploring the Waitemata Harbour & Hauraki Gulf.
​
Sustainability
Working with nature, as nature is why we exist.
By practising kaitiakitanga (guardianship), we bring people into the natural environment to witness its beauty, leaving & taking nothing but memories, photos & appreciation.
​
We are visitors to The Waitemata Harbour & Hauraki Gulf, and wish to advocate for their importance by bringing you to witness them.
Our fleet of modern Wave Runner Jet Ski's allow efficient, low impact enjoyment, whilst our Bayswater Marina location, limits our use of precious time, energy & resources.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is There A Bond To Pay?Sea Auckland requires no additional bond from you for your time with us. Bonds are usually required by hire operators as the risk of riders crashing & damaging jet ski's is high. With Sea Auckland, you are with a guide the whole time, who not only takes you to the best spots, maximising your time on the water, but keeps you safe, away from reefs, rocks & wrecks, saving you money & stress.
-
Where Is Sea Auckland Located?Sea Auckland is located with Bayswater Marina, on Auckland's North Shore. Being located in the marina allows our customers a smooth & effortless departure & return without battling beaches, boat ramps & breaking shore waves. Arrive by ferry (10 minute ferry ride) or car (25 minute drive).
-
Can Weather Affect The Trips?Absolutely. The weather is something we cannot control & we must work with it. Sea Auckland may change your tour route if the day's weather deems it necessary to do so, therefore, please use our "Weather" button on the Sea Auckland website to book the best forecasted days. The "Waiheke" & "Gulf" tours are most susceptible to weather so if you are 100% set on these tours & nothing else, please ensure you book on a good weather forecast as if the weather changes, we will be modifying the tours route. The beautiful thing about Auckland's Waitemata Harbour & Hauraki Gulf is no matter the weather, there are always sheltered pockets to find & discover.
-
Are There Rules To Follow When Riding A Jetski?Like the road, there are rules of the sea. That being said, you're joining a tour & by doing so, your guide makes sure you stay safe, out of trouble & maximising all the speed zones possible. The rules of the sea are fairly simple. • 8km/h when 50m from another vessel/person and/or 200m from shore • Stay clear of the Devonport Navy Base & Ports of Auckland/Ferry terminal areas • 22km/h speed limit from Harbour Bridge to North Head (take it easy in the harbour, there is plenty to see and admire)
