Who wouldn’t want to work on their boat in this glorious weather? Hardstand 1 busy with all kinds of craft coming and going. We are open all summer so come on down to Yamba Marina and enjoy life on the working waterfront.
From December 1, 2021 Thrifty Car Rental became SIXT. It is simply a branding change. The overall business is still owned by NRMA and Yamba Marina is one of NRMA’s agent outlets. Everything is still the same. Same car, truck and bus fleet. Same staff and same operating hours. SIXT is a German company and operates around the world. They are heavily committed to electric vehicles. There are some 180 SIXT outlets around Australia. As the only full-time hire car company in Yamba we are committed to looking after your hire car needs.
This is a 1.85 metre tide. There is extra water in the river system because of the huge rainfalls inland and to the north. The waters are brown but will clear up soon in time for the holidays. The Clarence River is flowing fast with all the extra water so be careful out there. Look out for floating hazards.
This Hood 20 has been fully restored. She’s in great shape and ready to sail away. Huge list of extras go with this Hood classic. Registered trailer with extended draw bar. Mercury 9.9HP Four-stroke motor. She’s in top shape and you don’t need to spend a dollar. She’s at Yamba Marina for inspection.
Great to see all the hard work has paid off on this old fishing boat. Well done all.
We often get asked about tides at marina. The total range is from about .02 of a metre (low) to 2.1 metres (high). The main picture is a tide of about 1.8 metres and there’s plenty of room as you can see from the second picture for the floating marina to cope with more water. Huge amounts of water flow up and down the Clarence River every day however as the marina is in a protected harbour the marina simply floats up and down. A safe place for boats in all weather.
Great to see some local bird life in the marina. These pelicans are regular visitors, as are some friendly dolphins and schools of fish. Yamba Marina is fish friendly so we don’t allow fishing from the pontoons, boats or wharves. There is plenty of water in the river for that. We are open all the long weekend.

The list of extras is extraordinary. This little yacht does not need a cent spent on her and she’s ready to go sailing now. More pictures and details to come soon. She will also be listed on Gumtree.
Despite lockdowns please remember the marina is open every day for Covid safe operation.
It is especially important to remember our hire care operation is operating as normal. We are open every day if you need a hire care or to rent a truck or bus. Many Thrifty offices are operating on reduced hours but at Yamba we are open every day. Great rates. Friendly staff.
