Raglan Wharf Fishing and Boating

Raglan’s wharf at the end of Wallis St is a working wharf, used by fishing, charter and tour boats as well as the Raglan Coast Guard. For recreational fishos, the wharf is a popular spot for line fishing. Adjacent to the wharf is a launching ramp suitable for large trailer boats.

Boats head out over the harbour bar for snapper at the Bar Reef, with kahawai and gurnard at the 40m mark in the Tasman Sea.  Tuna, marlin and kingfish are usually caught further out.

Getting to Raglan Wharf

From Bow Street, Raglan turn right into Wallis Street, keep going through the James Street intersection, past Government Road on the right and then veer round the curve and see the Wharf area.  There is parking in marked spaces.  You can usually find a place to park, but on peak summer weekend days, all spaces will most likely be taken.  In that case you will need to turn round and park back along Wallis Street.

There are public toilets near the wharf buildings.

Larger boats can launch at the ramp next to Raglan Wharf at the end of Wallis Street.    Launching and recovery is possible for all tides.  A floating pontoon is next to the launching ramp.  There is limited parking near the ramp and along Wallis Street.

In June 2021 a 'painted roundlet' was opened by the Mayor at the intersection of Bow and Wainui. What needs to be done to this intersection?
