Boating, Malua Bay to Guerilla Bay

A thriving pleasure boating community and lively maritime heritage exists in and around the Batemans Marine Park.

  • The Tollgate Islands off Bateman's Bay are perfect for sailing.
  • The glistening waters of Wagonga Inlet at Narooma are a big draw card.
  • Waterways include the Clyde River, Tomaga River, Moruya River and the Tuross River as well as Durras, Coila, Tuross, Corunna and Wallaga Lakes, or sail around Batemans Bay's picturesque shores.
  • Find boat ramps, wharves and jetties, and courtesy moorings conveniently located throughout the park.
  • Boat hire outlets are readily available if you don't have a vessel.

Things you need to know

A marine park permit is required to install or relocate a mooring in Batemans Marine Park.

Appropriate consideration should be given to the importance of seagrass when boating. Anchor and propeller scars can cause substantial and unnecessary long-term impacts.

  • Anchoring is allowed in all zones except on seagrass beds in sanctuary zones.
  • Vessel operators must make sure that no part of the anchor, chain, rope or vessel makes contact with a seagrass bed in sanctuary zones.
