Whitford-based ShareBoating – a digital marketplace for marine charters – recently hosted an open day at the Viaduct, viewing some of Auckland’s high-profile charter vessels.
ShareBoating CEO Wayne Huang, who also acts as rear commodore power at Bucklands Beach Yacht Club, said: “Auckland is a gateway to New Zealand, a gateway that deserves to be explored through sailing and motor boating experiences.”
The day sought to introduce new migrant members of the community to the world of boat chartering, immersing them in Kiwi culture.
“Our traditional sport of sailing can accelerate the integration of new settlers into our community,” said Huang.
The group of guests visited a collection of vessels including Lion New Zealand, Steinlager 2, Sea Breeze’, Templar and Nirvana, all vessels that regularly explore the Hauraki Gulf.
“I would like to thank the Howick and Pakuranga Times for helping to promote this community-orientated day and would like to thank the wider Pakuranga community for participating in and supporting this latest venture.”
