Auckland Viaduct Harbour

The Auckland harbour will splash into life once again this May, with twin V8 boats racing from the Viaduct Harbour under the Auckland Harbour Bridge.

The boats are up to 11 metres in length and with 1300 horsepower going up to 190kph.

The Auckland Harbour Bridge Offshore Powerboat race is part of a series of races around the country. Offshore powerboat racing is the water equivalent of Formula 1, attracting mass audiences for this fabulous close up spectator event.

We are proud to support this event that entertains Aucklanders in a unique harbour setting, celebrating our maritime heritage.
