Waterwise Okahu Bay has been operating for the last 25 years out of the Landing at Okahu Bay, Tamaki Drive. It currently consists of 7 schools from the Eastern Bays and central Auckland area.

Waterwise Okahu Bay has a long standing relationship with the Auckland Sailing Club and uses one of its garage sheds to store its equipment.

Schools run their own sailing, kayaking and water activity programmes  generally in Terms 1 and 4.
