In these times of hardship we want everyone to know that Café Marina is open 7 days a week for takeaway from breakfast to lunchtime. Light meals to make the best of a difficult world. Get out of the house for just a brief time to get some fresh air and food. The Café is open from 8.30am. Call them to find out what’s on the menu each day 6646 3311.

The food is GREAT.

Seems like a shutdown of many industries will take place this week so we want you to know that Yamba Marina will remain contactable throughout the crisis. Use the telephone (that’s one above haha) to contact us rather than coming to the marina office. If you want fuel at any time please call ahead (02 6646 9898) or email contact@yambamarina.com.au so we can make sure the fuel dock is available when you arrive.

Our telephones will be diverted after hours in the event of an emergency. We will make a decision early this week about hardstand operations and we hope to be able to continue to provide Thrifty Rental Cars on a normal basis.

HOWEVER please limit face-to-face contact in the marina office and remain at least 2 metres from staff when conversing. 

Things are moving very quickly so please take all precautions that medical officials suggest. Together we must beat this terrible virus.

Despite the pickle we all find ourselves in at the moment, we try to look for the blue sky. At some time in the not too distant future things will start to look up and we will all get back to normal. In the meantime lets make the best of what we have got. Today we put all the boats in from the hardstand so we have some space available for you to work on your boat. With skies like this messin’ around on boats may just be the tonic you need. Be safe and be positive. Things will get better. Remember the blue sky.

Please be advised that its business as usual at Yamba Marina as we try to adapt to this rapidly changing world. We are however asking all our customers, their friends and others visiting the site, to practice “social distancing”….that is, remaining at least 1.5 metres apart when conversing.

We also want everyone to wash their hands BEFORE and AFTER using marina facilities and where possible to avoid leaning or holding onto hard surface such as the marina office counter.  We encourage customers to report any matters of concern to marina staff.

Most importantly; If you have recently returned to Australia from ANYWHERE overseas please refrain from visiting the marina for at least 14 days. 

We will be reviewing the marina hours of operation on a daily basis. If we are forced to reduce opening times contact will still be possible by telephone, email, Facebook and direct via the marina website www.yambamarina.com.au

It is advisable to make marina bookings well in advance of your arrival. Ultimate unleaded and diesel fuel are in plentiful supply.

Please be cautious and be safe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 2020 Yamaha Variety Jet Trek is underway with the first leg today from Grafton to Yamba. This great charity event is a fun way to raise charity funds and we are happy to play our part…….

The teams will now head north ending their journey on the Sunshine Coast next weekend. Travel safe guys…..and well done!!!!!

Yamba Marina will continue to operate as normal during this time of heightened health concerns. HOWEVER we ask that everyone visiting the marina obey simple health rules. Wash hands before and after using any marina facilities. Do not visit the marina if you exhibit any signs of flu or flu-like symptoms. We also urge people to observe the practice of “social distancing”…that is, keep a distance of 1.5 metres from other customers when conversing. If we keep Yamba and surrounds covid-19 fee it will mean much needed resources can be applied in other areas of need.

We continue to monitor official health warnings and advice and we will move at any time to meet standards set by the Government and Health Authorities. Be safe and be mindful of others.

 

 

Just a quick word about Caronavirus. As we have shared facilities at the marina, including showers, toilets and laundry machines, we ask that ALL customers observe a high level of personal hygiene and make sure hands are washed before and after using the facilities. If we all play our part things will be OK. If you develop a cough or high temperature contact health authorities (preferably by telephone in the first instance) to get the right advice. THANK YOU.

 

Wonderful world…..nature…..we love you!!!!
