At the Helm
A BIG thanks to the Tasman Bay Cruising Club and the organisers and sponsors of the 2012 Nelson Regatta, Mike Vining on Nefertitti took out the major prize with some consistant sailing over the four days. Our Nelson Office Manager Rob Greenwood followed him home just a few points behind in second place. All the crews enjoyed the event and the Regatta will continue to gain in popularity over the coming years.
Please note that we are open 7 days, normal weekdays from 8.30am to 5pm, Saturdays from 9am to 2pm and Sundays 10.30 to 2pm. Outside of these hours please call one of our team to make an appointment - we will be pleased to help!
Welcome to Vining Shipbrokers Ltd's new web site we hope you enjoy surfing/sailing through our pages!
Photos used as banners on each page have been taken to express our appreciation of the Marlborough Sounds and all that happens on and around our pristine waters.
Vining Shipbrokers main office is located at the picturesque Waikawa Marina, Picton, in Queen Charlotte Sound, we enjoy on a day to day basis scenery and a lifestyle that many people come from all round the world to enjoy for brief periods of time. Many are drawn back year after year and our population is quite diverse for that reason.
While we all enjoy the waterways and all that the Marlborough Sounds have to offer (1156 kilometres of Bays, Coves and inlets all protected from the open sea!) Others are more interested in Marlborough's world famous wines and many an enjoyable afternoon is spent touring and tasting at the various wineries as well as at the Chocolate Factory!
The Queen Charlotte Track also attracts large numbers of keen "Hikers and Bikers" keen to experience the walk and with stopovers like Furneaux Lodge, Punga Cove Resort and the Portage Resort Hotel along the way who can blame them!
