'Our aim is to provide children and adults with disabilities the opportunity to sail in safety and to experience adventure and freedom - building mobility, self confidence and pride through achievement'

Our Sailing programmes.

At Sailability Auckland we have a sailing programme suitable for everyone regardless of the level of disability or sailing skills. All Sailability Auckland instructors are certified by Yachting New Zealand. Our yachts have many safety features including a weighted center board ensuring the boats are virtually impossible to capsize

Directions to Access Dingy learn to sail area

We are based adjacent to the Marine Industry Association building 85 Westhaven Drive, Westhaven Marina

Looking at the map below we are based in St Mary’s Bay (Westhaven Marina). To the left of the bay you can see a road that heads out into the bay (directly above the words 'Mary’s Bay'). We operate from a pontoon right next to/behind the Marine Industry Association Building on this road.

Driving Directions:
As you drive down Westhaven Drive (directly beside the motorway) from the City end (Beaumont St) you will travel past Swashbucklers restaurant on your right, keep going past the boat launching area (Z pier) you will then drive past the water that is right next to the road. Take your next car park entrance on the right just past the Marine Industry Association Building. As you enter the car park take a hard right turn head back towards the city past the toilets and you will find us at the far end of the Marine industry Association building. Our yacht storage Trailer is normally parked on the cobblestone area and there is a ramp that goes down to the Pontoon we operate from.
