Always use the designated mooring spots set by the NSW Government and exercise caution while doing so. The pink buoys provided here are free of charge for up to 24 hours, offering a convenient and cost-effective way to enjoy your time on the water. When docking, especially in low light conditions, pay close attention to the marked mooring areas. Stay vigilant for swimmers, small boats, and floating ropes.

You can anchor in many areas of Brisbane Water, but be mindful of submarine cables, ferry routes, and navigable channels. Keep an eye on wind direction—particularly southerlies and westerlies—and find shelter if needed. As a responsible boater, help protect the environment by disposing of waste properly to prevent ocean pollution. Have a fantastic time on the water this spring and enjoy the beautiful season!
