Purangi River Mooring for Rent

Do not wait in the launching queue to launch your boat be first from the mooring. The Boat ramps are at the Reserve at the Eastern end of Cooks Beach offering children’s’ playground, barbecue facilities and public toilets as well as an all-day sheltered beach and close to Cooks Memorial of the Transit of Venus. Mooring no. 1 is the first mooring upstream from the launch and recovery ramps on the Purangi River at Cooks Beach It identified by a 250mm orange float which has a 4m mooring rope attached. There may be some green slime growing on this which will disappear after several uses. The mooring is licensed for a 5m boat and very suitable for overnight mooring ready for an early start. It is very sheltered. ThIs is how it was used in the last 5 years. It is recommended that any user looks at the exit Channel to Mercury Bay at low tide to be clear where to navigate and timing to cross the bar (ask locals)
