A second person jumped in to try and save her but was unsuccessful. That person was uninjured.
A spokesperson from Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopter Trust (AWRHT) told 1 NEWS a paramedic and doctor were winched onto the Police Maritime Unit Deodar boat, which then escorted the rescue team to the charter boat about 100 metres away.
Police say they're continuing to work with Maritime NZ to understand the circumstances leading to Tamarua's death.
A scene examination continues today, with specialist workgroups involved.
Police are also making inquiries on behalf of the coroner.
