Yes complimentary parking is provided, however it would be
appreciated if the number of cars could be kept to a minimum as

Where can we get supplies?
A shopping complex is within a 5-minute drive of our office and
contains a Bi-Lo supermarket, butcher, newsagent, gourmet deli,
bakery, liquor store and various shops and cafes. Rushed for time?
For a small fee we can provide a personal shopping service and have
your entire grocery requirements onboard before you arrive. See
additional information for further details.

Can we get supplies while on the
water?
Yes, a service called Ship Shop operates on weekends in the North
end of our service area (most popular area). Onboard they carry a
range of groceries, liquor, Ice and bait. Alternatively there are a
number of anchorages where you can go ashore and top up supplies.

What to bring?
Food, drinks, personal items, and towels are all you require. It is
also a good idea to include some fishing equipment, a good book,
board games, cards and don’t forget salt & pepper and oil for the
BBQ. Refer to vessel checklist for more information.
Please Note: Most vessels run on 12V power (luxury range excluded),
therefore please do not bring any 240V appliances such as play
stations, hair dryers, heaters, coffee machines etc as they will not
work. If you do have a particular requirement please call one of our
friendly team members to discuss.

board the vessels.

Where can we go?
Having some of the best waterways in Australia, few people get the
chance to properly cover the entire service area within the space of
a week. We have a number of wonderful anchorages that are just great
to drop the pick, wet a line and kick back for a day or two. Some of
these include Marine Stadium, Wave Break Island, Sanctuary Cove,
Jacobs Well, The Bedroom, North Bedroom or
Millionaires as the locals know it just to mention a few.

What do I do if I need assistance?
Our office is open 7 days a week and we have an emergency contact
number 24 hours a day should you get into any problems. As a last
resort all boats have a 2-way radio and you can call the Coast Guard
or Volunteer Marine Rescue for assistance.
