The harbor hosts many yacht clubs that teach the kids how to sail, sea swimming events and of course fishing.

The small boat ramp is a hive of activities as Nelson host more boats per capita than almost anywhere else in New Zealand. The commercial area around the marina is full of engineering firms that can fix or build almost anything you can think of with experts in most fields. There are small chandlery shops dotted amongst the water front restaurants that have stunning seafood dishes.
