They say a group of about 20 friends spent two days camping in the area before the death.
Despite bylaws restricting the speed of two vessels within 30m of each other to five knots, two boats were towing biscuits at about 4pm when the man was hit by the other boat.
The Waikato Regional Council says two harbourmasters are helping police with their investigations.
