The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron (RNZYS) has joined the BookABuoy platform, putting its Smelting House Bay moorings at Kawau Island on the New Zealand mooring and berth booking platform.
RNZYS members and other visiting boaties can now check availability and book a Squadron mooring online before they leave the marina.
“We’re really pleased to have RNZYS on board,” says Chris Woodhams Jr, founder of BookABuoy.
“The Squadron has a long association with Kawau, and these are exactly the sort of moorings we want to make easier for boaties to find and book.
“The idea behind BookABuoy is simple. Boaties should be able to see what’s available, make a booking and know they have somewhere to go when they arrive.
“BookABuoy gives RNZYS members and other boaties an easy way to see what’s available at Smelting House Bay and book a mooring before they head to Kawau or last-minute, providing much needed flexibility. It also gives the Squadron a simple way to manage our moorings, and we’re pleased to be supporting a New Zealand built platform. Members enjoy cruising New Zealand’s waters and through BookaBuoy they’ll now be able to easily find a mooring or berth when away from home!” Beth Orton, RNZYS Membership Experience Manager.
For the Squadron, BookABuoy provides a straightforward way to manage bookings, availability and payments in one system.
Smelting House Bay is one of Kawau Island’s popular boating destinations, and the RNZYS moorings are the latest addition to a growing network of bookable moorings and berths on BookABuoy, as yacht clubs, marinas and private mooring owners around the country bring their facilities online.
