Providing Safety and Reliability for the Marine Community of Mangawhai, and beyond, since 2007

Mangawhai; Home, Land and Sea

About Us

Mangawhai Marine is a family-owned and operated business built around a love for the sea, the land, and the community we call home. For us, this is more than a job – it’s a lifestyle. Living and working close to what we love keeps us grounded, and it shows in the way we run our business.

We’re not about just punching the clock and waiting for the weekend. We genuinely enjoy what we do, and we back it up with a team that cares about doing things right. That means top-quality service, honest communication, and getting the job done properly – first time, every time.

Our mission is simple:
We work together to give our customers quality service, convenience, and value.
Whether it’s regular maintenance or a complex repair, we look after you and your boat like it’s our own. Efficiency, high standards, and no B.S. – that’s how we operate.

Being part of the Mangawhai community means a lot to us. Our friends and family live here too, and that’s why we make it a priority to give back. We’re proud sponsors of the local fishing club, golf club, primary school, Mangawhai Activity Zone, and more.

We love where we live – and we’re here to keep your marine life running smooth, so you can love it too.

Matt Jackson

Company Director (the Boss)

It’s a simple philosophy that has seen Mangawhai Marine succeed – Matt calls it, ‘doing the job right’. Right means providing a friendly and interactive experience for clients with quality people, parts & workmanship.

He’s a family man and a genuine good bloke, valuing local community and environment. When he gets the chance outside of running the business, he’s surfing, fishing, go karting with daughters or enjoying a fine McLeods’ Ale.
