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.

This pretty yacht is on its way to its new home in Tasmania.
Serious High Tide
Tide measuring on the middle wall of the Clarence River at Yamba today showed a high tide of 2.02 metres. The predicted tide was 1.8 metres. That’s a lot of extra water flowing about. Be careful. The next few days will not be great for boating!
New boat christened
Great to see “Outlaw” go into the water for the first time today. A local product made on the banks of the Clarence River. May she have fair winds and smooth seas.

Thirsty boats on the move
The weather is spectacular on the far north coast. Don’t forget we are CLOSED on Christmas Day and Boxing Day but open every other day of the holidays.
