A violent boating rage incident at Tairua is just a pimple on the bum of a systemic problem with boaties flouting the rules, says the captain of the local ferry service.
The Tairua-Pauanui ferry operator, Rob Glasgow, said the popular Coromandel holiday spot has no active harbourmaster and people are ignorant or arrogant of the maritime rules, or both.
