The body of a boatie has been recovered after a dinghy sinking in Wellington Harbour.

Police Dive Squad members found the man's body at 5:25pm, two hours after the vessel went down.

Another man was on the dinghy and managed to swim to shore.

It's thought neither of the boaties was wearing a life jacket.
