Permanent swing mooring at Rose Bay

I’ve been on the wait list for a permanent mooring at Rose Bay since January. To my joy and amazement I got an offer this week from Roads and Maritime Services. It is located close to the public ferry wharf and facilities in Lyne Park including all day free parking, toilets and great cafes.

The boat only operates in relatively sheltered waters and is very comfortable and stable. Unlike a yacht, this catamaran barely heels over and doesn’t rock uncomfortably from side to side, so seasickness is highly unlikely.

Life lines have recently been raised in height, so its much safer than ever before. In addition there are 4 fire extinguishers, an EPIRB, VHF Radio, Chartplotter, lifejackets for every person, two large life rafts, and an inflatable tender with Broken Bay/Pittater or in an outboard motor.

We will always operate within mobile phone range. If on the odd occasion, that we are out of range, say in the Whitsundays, there is a satellite phone on board. Please refer to information about Your Captain if you would like to know more.
