About Tangimoana Boating Club INC.

Tangimoana Boating Club is a small club in the coastal village of Tangimoana, on the south bank of the Rangitikei River mouth, at 3 Domain Parade. The village has about 300 people, and the club has existed since 1954. Visitors are welcome. The clubrooms are used by members and visiting fishers and boaties, and they can host birthdays, funerals and weddings. The club is a long-term sponsor of Tangimoana School. The nearest larger town, Bulls, is about 20 km away.

The club runs the marine radio VHF repeater and monitors the channel for boaties fishing in the area. The nearest Coastguard is in Foxton, more than 20 minutes away, so the club's on-call volunteers act as the local first call rescue, and the clubrooms provide radio and office space in an emergency. Reviewers call it a great little spot with friendly, accommodating people, a clean and well-appointed club and an excellent community hub. One says the club hosted a national event with catering and prize giving. The launching ramp is a short drive away, is maintained by local volunteers, and donations towards it are welcome. Any weekend day, set a couple of days ahead, there is $200 up for grabs as at 2026, and bragging rights.
