The tug boat towing the yacht arrived in Whangarei shortly after 9am today.
A crew member was killed and another was lost overboard when the yacht got into trouble in rough seas 550 kilometres north of New Zealand, a little over a week ago.
Three survivors were rescued by a container ship.
The tug and yacht were met at Northport at Marsden Point this morning by a small group of family members and police.
Police are investigating the case on behalf of the coroner.
