Entry status
Listed by both ABF and DAFF as an entry port for non-commercial vessels. Facilities for large yachts are limited; check draft and berth availability before planning to clear here.
Marine parks
Solitary Islands Marine Park lies to the north: heavy moorings at North Solitary Island take vessels up to 25 m; no anchoring on seagrass in sanctuary zones.

Talk to us before choosing Coffs Harbour as a first port; for most superyachts Sydney, Newcastle or Brisbane is the better clearance. ASY handles clearance and berthing here. Talk to us or email us.
