Orakei Marine manages the beautiful Orakei Marina on Auckland’s Tamaki Drive. We are also a boat brokerage selling new and used boats from our on-water floating office. Offering integrated mechanical / electrical / detailing and boatbuilding services, the new vessels we sell need commissioning and hand over to the new owners and you will be a BIG part of all of this.  No two days are the same.

A family-owned and operated business, the Orakei Marine team lives and breathes boats and all things boating, striving to make sure that our client’s boating experience is always easy and pleasurable. 

Our current head Detailer is leaving for the Super Yacht industry using his experience from Orakei Marine as his resume for a job on yachts! We are looking for a Head Boat Detailer to take a hand over from him before he leaves!  Immediate Start!
