The relatively sheltered Jervis Bay offers safe boating in a range of weather conditions.
A marine park permit is required to install or relocate a mooring in Jervis Bay Marine Park
Anchoring is generally permitted in the marine park with the following exceptions:
During November to April there is a seasonal prohibition on anchoring extending 300m seaward of the Outer Tubes, south of the Docks sanctuary zone. This is to alleviate conflict between land based game anglers, and boat-based anglers and divers.
In emergency situations anchoring is permitted in all areas of the marine park where necessary to preserve life or property.
Personal watercraft (jet skis) are not permitted within sanctuary zones unless transiting the sanctuary zone directly to or from the point from which the craft was launched, and speed must not exceed 10 knots Zoning Map (PDF, 1424.53 KB).
