The marina phone lines are not working properly. When you call our number you are told we are NOT CONNECTED.
The problem should be fixed by COB on June 1. In the meantime send us a message by email to contact@yambamarina.com.au or call the mobile 0413 111 555. Bloody Telstra…..the customer service from this once great Australian company is now shocking.
Spectacular sunsets in this part of the world as we lead up to the shortest day of the year….! Nature puts on her best even in grim times.
Police boat WP 21 from Tweed Heads in for a big service. Glad the skies are blue……
We are still operational at Yamba Marina. As we supply fuel and services to the Police, NSW Maritime and Marine Rescue we need to be open as an essential service. Our hardstand yard is operating under strict rules of social distancing and regular disinfecting. All facilities are disinfected on a regular basis and access to the marina is restricted to boat owners only. We are NOT allowing boats to berth from interstate under any circumstances. The Thrifty Hire Car business continues to operate, again under strict rules and protocols.
If you are staying on your boat try this new long-life milk from Norco. Screw top makes it easy to store. We have them in the kiosk.
A handy little thing to have when you run out of the fresh stuff……
NOTE; Someone said “That’s a weird news item”. We said; “Not if you are on your boat and the only thing your need is milk for your tea or coffee. 200ml re-sealable containers…..just $1.50 each!!!!!
We are getting calls from boats travelling the coast. If you are a boat coming from a NSW port you are welcome at Yamba Marina under current restrictions. However if you are travelling from interstate by water, you cannot berth at Yamba Marina unless you have undergone 14 days isolation on anchor in the Clarence River. If you arrive from interstate you CANNOT get off your boat for 14 days after arrival. These restrictions are being controlled by NSW Police.
To be clear, boats from NSW waters are welcome at Yamba Marina. However social distancing and all other measures for health and hygiene must be observed. Visitors are not encouraged on the marina and all vessel movements are monitored. No social gatherings on boats are allowed. Please do the right thing.
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.
