“The entrance to tge creek and the travel lift bay is very sketchy....the team try to hold your boat steady in the bay with poles, they do not use lines, which would in my opinion be a better option especially if with our ketch rig. I would suggest at least an aft spring to hold your stern off the rear of the bay. The boat was chocked and secured well on the yard. The yard itself was clean enough. Toilet and shower facilities were there and usable. You can work on your own boat, you just need specific authority to do so from Michael. Much cheaper than NTMF, the other yard in Darwin.”
“They damaged my 10ton catamaran hulls in 4places by supporting the hulls directly on square concrete blocks, I argued to no avail, they were rude and agressive,their pet local did the repairs without charge, grinding the Fibreglass inside with no Extractor fans so everything inside is covered in itchy dust, all my bedding, pillows etc, I will never ever go there again. The ablutions are disgusting, and you even have to supply your own toilet paper!!!”
“Don’t be fooled by the live aboard claims. Yes, you can live aboard along with 1000s of midgies and mozzies in a boat junkyard. The “pool” is full of green slime, the toilet and shower facilities haven’t been hosed out let alone cleaned in years and have a thick coating of dirt and dead bugs and the one domestic washing machine is so old and rusty I wouldn’t go near it. Many old rotting boats and junk everywhere. A WHS nightmare . Very dependent on tides for access so you can be stuck for days waiting to get in or out. The”

Batemans Bay and the Clyde River form a classic NSW South Coast cruising region where a sheltered, tidal estuary meets a short, island‑dotted entrance to the Tasman Sea. It’s distinctive for easy access from Canberra, a mix of river and bay sailing, a compact marina and mooring network, and a river entrance (the Clyde River bar) that can change rapidly. The area suits day sails, weekend cruising, trailer‑boat exploration and sheltered coastal passages; offshore or long‑passage plans require careful timing and local knowledge. Preparation for tidal flow, variable southerly swells and shallow, s
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.
