Lifejacket libraries at a beach near you

If you’re out enjoying the water – on a boat, kayak, paddleboard, or doing another water activity – you’ll need a properly fitting lifejacket.

If you can’t find one or forget this important piece of safety equipment, we can sort you out.

Our mates at ACC have partnered with our Harbourmaster’s Office to set up lifejacket libraries across Tasman. These libraries are available at three locations this summer –

we initially set up at the Kaiteriteri boat ramp and Tōtaranui campground office prior to Christmas and have since expanded to include an additional library at Pōhara Beach Top 10 Holiday Park.

The response has been phenomenal so far – it is encouraging to see everyone taking advantage of the initiative in the name of water safety, so thank you for your support.

It’s an easy process – simply visit us at one of the lifejacket library sites, register your name in the logbook, and choose a lifejacket that fits you properly. Both kids and adult sizes are available.

From there, you can wear it while on or in the water, and once you’re done for the day, bring it back – no fees, no hassle.

It’s all part of our efforts to keep you safe on the water this summer.
