Easy Ocean access

Many marinas that have easy access to the ocean are subject to surge and wind wave movement that may detract from their appeal. Yamba Marina is unique in that it is within minutes of the Pacific Ocean but it sits in a protected boat harbour. As an example, during the 2016 storm that badly damaged Coffs Harbour Marina, Yamba suffered no damage at all. Winds of over 100kms an hour were recorded but the marina remained unaffected. Because of the nature of the marina the floating pontoons move up and down with the tide but are unaffected by sideways movement from surge or wind waves. All this within minutes of safe ocean access at the mouth of the Clarence River.

Simply a name change

From December 1, 2021 Thrifty Car Rental became SIXT. It is simply a branding change. The overall business is still owned by NRMA and Yamba Marina is one of NRMA’s agent outlets. Everything is still the same. Same car, truck and bus fleet. Same staff and same operating hours. SIXT is a German company and operates around the world. They are heavily committed to electric vehicles. There are some 180 SIXT outlets around Australia. As the only full-time hire car company in Yamba we are committed to looking after your hire car needs.

High tide plus flood water flow

This is a 1.85 metre tide. There is extra water in the river system because of the huge rainfalls inland and to the north. The waters are brown but will clear up soon in time for the holidays. The Clarence River is flowing fast with all the extra water so be careful out there. Look out for floating hazards.
