Services

You might know us as your local boat service centre, but there's a lot more to Marine & Sport than just that. We have a full suite of services to get you (or keep you) on the water more.

We’re a full-service boat shop on the shores of Lake Wānaka.

Alongside our certified engine servicing, our team handles the rest of what your boat needs — procurement, launch and retrieval, caretaking and storage, cleaning and detailing, custom build work, gelcoat and fibreglass repairs, upholstery, trailers and rigging.

One yard, one number, no chasing trades around town.

Client Testimonials

I recently drove from christchurch and purchased a boat from Marine and Sport. My whole experience with them was so good that it's hard to put into words. Sam and Nigel and the staff made me feel so at home. It made the trip pretty special. I hope I can do more business with them in the future.

Greg Thomson Auckland, NZ

Sam helped us find a new boat and was an absolute legend through the whole process! Best communication, explained everything we needed as we went through it and made sure we always knew where things were at. They sorted us out with some new gear from the shop while we were picking it up too

Nathan F Wanaka

I have dealt with Wanaka Marine over the past 13 years, having purchased boat, motor and recently a jet ski. I always find them professional in their service and knowledge, and have always trusted them for the servicing of my vessels (including commercial vessel). With their first class team of mechanics, I know that the job is getting done properly.
