Kinloch Marina sits on the shores of Whangamata Bay in the village of Kinloch, about 20 kilometres northwest of Taupō on Lake Taupō's northern edge.

The modern, 142-berth facility is privately owned but open to the public, and serves as a key launch point for boating on the lake's western bays — waters renowned for trout fishing and dramatic scenery.

The marina features well-maintained concrete boat ramps capable of handling multiple simultaneous launches and retrievals. A separate ramp permit is required here, distinct from the standard Lake Taupō ramp permit.

Fuel (petrol and diesel), a washdown station, and a public toilet are available on site, with parking across the road at Kinloch Domain. Boaters should note that a southwest wind can push swell into the marina entrance.
