Sandspit Marina is a boutique marina on the Matakana River, beside the Sandspit Yacht Club, at 1287 Sandspit Road in Sandspit, near Warkworth. It was completed in July 2016 and has 134 berths, from 12 to 18 metres, for boats and yachts. Berths can be rented long or short term. Visitors are welcome, and the marina is a base for trips to Kawau Island, the Hauraki Gulf, Great Barrier Island and northern beaches. The site says it is a 40-minute drive from the Auckland Harbour Bridge. The marina is run by the Sandspit Marina Society, a not-for-profit incorporated society, and every berth holder must be a society member and a current member of the Sandspit Yacht Club. The entrance to the estuary is limited to 1.5 metres of draft at low tide, so skippers should plan around the tide. The marina is a member of the New Zealand Marina Operators Association.
