“Great marine insurance company”
“I cannot recommend using Anchorage Marine. My boat was damaged by another vessel known to Anchorage Marine yet Greg Fullerton demanded that I pay the $2K excess whilst refusing to recoup the same from the responsible party on my behalf. Whatever happened to acting in your client's best interest ? Just look elsewhere.”
“Very helpful”
“Friendly, communicative and prompt. Highly recommend.”
“Was a customer for a year & didn’t renew as Greg always stands on his boat and points his finger at everyone at the marina as they’re parking. Always rude to us even though he knows we’re his customers. He’s known at the marina to and reports every little thing to the marina office & they have to deal with his “marina reports” regularly. Read the other reviews, I wish I had read these before I sighed with him. I’ve switched to NRMA.”

The guide describes the bay’s sheltered and exposed zones, headlands and islands, local seasonal wind and swell patterns, principal sailing areas and recommended anchorages, shore facilities around South West Rocks and Arakoon, navigation and arrival considerations, specific hazards such as the Macleay River entrance, sand movement and reefs, local marine park and heritage restrictions, and three realistic sailing experiences ranging from sheltered family daysails to multi-day island circuits.

Covers river and harbour geography, seasonal wind and swell patterns, principal sailing areas and anchorages, approach issues at the bar, shore facilities, local hazards and the legal/regulatory environment, plus suggested day sails, weekend cruises and island circuits suitable for a range of recreational craft.
Explore →Bathurst Harbour (Port Davey system), in south‑west Tasmania, is a vast, almost land‑locked estuarine harbour inside the Southwest National Park and World Heritage Area. It offers a remote, sheltered anchoring environment protected from the Roaring Forties, but demands careful planning, an awareness of marine‑reserve rules, and a willingness to operate in shallow, tannin‑stained waters. Best suited to experienced coastal cruisers and small expedition yachts prepared for self‑sufficiency, Bathurst Harbour is more a place to linger and explore on foot and by tender than a port of call for busy,
Explore →American River (Kangaroo Island, SA) is a small, sheltered inlet and township on the north‑eastern side of Kangaroo Island that acts as a calm staging point for cruising the eastern part of the island and for short hops through Backstairs Passage. It’s distinctive for its protected anchorage inside Eastern Cove and the adjacency of Pelican Lagoon — a shallow, ecologically important lagoon with sanctuary zoning — which shapes how and where boats can move. The area suits sheltered day sailing, weekend cruising and short coastal passages; it’s appropriate for trailer sailors, small cruisers and a
Explore →Expect the usual IALA-B lateral system (red and green), cardinal and isolated-danger marks, safe-water and special marks, plus harbour-specific fairway buoys, leading/transit marks and exclusion or speed‑limit buoys. Check local harbour charts and Notices to Mariners for exact positions and light characteristics before entry.
Explore →Expect very different seasonal systems across Western Australia: the south‑west (Perth to Albany) has a strong summer afternoon sea breeze (the “Fremantle Doctor”) and winter westerly fronts, while northern WA follows a wet/dry monsoonal cycle with strong seasonal onshore winds, thunderstorms and cyclone risk in the wet season. Local headlands, estuaries and tidal flows often change what you actually feel on the water, so learn the local timing and sheltered venues first.
Explore →Legal safety equipment for recreational boats in South Australia depends on the type, size and where you operate; you must check the current SA government requirements for your vessel. Independently of legal minimums, carry a sensible set of recommended items (lifejackets, means of communication, signaling, fire protection, anchor and basic tools) and make them usable and maintained.
