Saturday nights Commodore’s Party delivered exactly what everyone hoped for — a night full of good vibes, great company, and festive cheer.

With music from vinyl-spinning DJ Vintage Vinyl (Mike Preece), the atmosphere was warm and nostalgic vintage classics from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s set the tone and had plenty of people bopping around.

The turnout was excellent, lots of members and friends came together, creating a lively, friendly, and inclusive crowd. Everyone seemed in high spirits, enjoying the night and each other’s company.

All in all, it was a perfect evening, one of those nights where everything just clicked: music, atmosphere, attendance, and camaraderie. A great success for the Club and a wonderful start to the summer.

Opua Cruising Club members and guests enjoyed a fantastic day out on Sunday for our monthly ‘BBQ in the Bay’, which this month was held at beautiful Motuarohia (Roberton) Island. The weather couldn’t have been better: clear blue skies, hot sunshine, and perfect conditions for getting out on the water.

Members arrived by boat, dropping anchor in the bay before coming ashore for a relaxed afternoon of great food and even better company. Everyone enjoyed a good laugh, soaked up the sunshine and explored the island.

It was a classic Bay of Islands day and a wonderful chance for our community to connect and unwind in one of the most picturesque spots in Aotearoa. A big thank you to everyone who joined in and helped make the event such a success. Remember, we hold these events monthly (see our website for details) and welcome anyone who would like to join us, so tell your friends!

Join us at the Opua Cruising Club for a festive night of great music, great company and plenty of Christmas cheer this Saturday, 6^th December from 7pm.

We’re thrilled to have Vintage Vinyl from Mike Preece bringing the atmosphere — an original 70s DJ spinning 100% authentic vinyl from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. Think Motown, disco, classic rock, soul and all the nostalgia-packed tracks that get everyone on the dancefloor.

If you love real records, warm vintage sound and a proper old-school party vibe, this is the night to be at Opua Cruising Club.
