“Great, good guys at work there.”
“This place is amazing Affordable and lovely folks”
“Great service! Good people 👍 love this place”
“Disgraceful rude and no idea how to communicate. I don’t own a boat and don’t ever intend to, yet they keep sending me a friendly reminder to give them $1000 per year for a mooring I have repeatedly said I don’t want. Just because I live nearby doesn’t mean I want a boat let alone a mooring.”
“Staff are great. Facilities good.”
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,
Plan passages across Spencer Gulf or to Kangaroo Island by basing fuel on your boat’s actual consumption plus a generous reserve, choosing sensible staging/stop options that match your boat and crew, and prioritising shelter and weather windows (gale fronts, strong winds and tidal streams can make the gulf uncomfortable or unsafe). Confirm fuel availability, safe anchorages or marinas on your route, and check up-to-date local weather, tide and navigation information before you go.

Use ramps and beaches with respect for local conditions: check ramp layout, tide and swell, wind direction, vehicle access and crowding; prepare boat and crew before you launch or retrieve; and follow local signage, courtesy and safety practices. Specifics vary by ramp and beach, so confirm details for the exact site before you go.

Pick a ramp that matches your boat size and trailer setup, has safe approach and exit conditions (depth, slope, surface), good onshore parking and flow, and follow simple ramp etiquette: queue, help others, rig off the trailer when clear, and secure your vessel quickly.
