Visitor Berthing
Visitor Berthing is available for boaters who are enjoying all the delights that the D’Entrecasteaux Channel has to offer.
Visitor berths are available on a “first in first served” basis and we do not take bookings. If a berth is empty you are welcome to take it unless there is a sign

The Fairway to access Oyster Cove Marina is situated on the southern side of Little Oyster Cove between the moorings and the Bruny Island Ferry Terminal.
Please observe the 4 knot speed limit within the Fairway.
As seen in the video below, after passing the Ferry Terminal, proceed towards the end of the Fairway and turn to starboard when you reach the outer attenuator wall of the Marina.
There are fifteen pens at the northern end of the attenuator. V2 – V4 will accommodate boats up to 18 metres. All other pens will take boats up to 15 metres.
Pens V2 – V6 have a strict time-limit of two days. Longer term stays in other pens can be arranged with the marina office once you are here.
It is a “first in first served” berthing policy so if a berth is empty you can take it unless there is a sign specifying other arrangements.
For larger boats, catamarans or if all the pens are full, you can tie up to the southern end of the attenuator wherever space is available.
NOTE: We do not take bookings for the visitor berths. You are welcome to call us during office hours to enquire about availability but please DO NOT CALL the after- hours emergency number regarding visitor berth enquiries.
Visitor berthing is unavailable for one weekend each September due to our sponsorship of the Pipe-Opener Regatta.
