The search for a man who fell overboard during a cruise on the Waitemata Harbour has been suspended.

Police have been searching for 29-year-old Tevita Kava, of Mangere, since Saturday night.

Since then, the police maritime unit, Eagle helicopter, Search and Rescue, Coastguard and Harbourmaster have been scouring the water for him.

The police dive squad and the Navy were also called in to help.

Police described the searched area as "significant" and say they haven't found a sign of Mr Kava.

His family has been told of the decision to suspend the search effort.
