Our History

Vining Marine is the longest established Brokerage in New Zealand. Vining Marine was established (as Vining Shipbrokers) in 1981. Its first office was located on the Ferry Terminal Wharf in Picton. The opening of the Waikawa Marina saw the business move to become the first business to operate on the Marina. As we build up to our 50th year, we are proud to continue to be the oldest and most trusted marine broker in New Zealand.

Vining Marine has always sold boats right across the price range and is legendary for the large number of repeat buyers with one client purchasing 27 different boats through Vining Marine over the years and several others who are threatening that record! Vining Marine staff have always had a keen interest in all things boating, supporting various yachts clubs both as sponsors and as Commodores, Vice Commodores, Executive Members, Club Managers, Yachting Handicappers, and other key roles at community boating events.

Expansion over the last few years has seen the business grow with offices in Opua, Northland, Westhaven, Nelson as well as Waikawa. We are looking forward to the establishing new offices across the country in the coming months, including Queenstown and others to be announced at North Island locations.
