Marinas in Darwin |
| The marinas in Darwin DO NOT take bookings for marina berths for the month of June and July as the demand for berths is so high and the schedule of yachts arriving and leaving is very unpredictable, the only option open to you is to call them when you arrive in Darwin. |
As you are going to Darwin please read the Darwin Port Notices and to prevent the introduction of unwanted marine pests into Darwin's marinas there are Northern Territory Government regulations controlling the entry of yachts into those marinas. In some cases your yacht will need to be inspected by divers, or hauled out and treated to kill any such marine pests.
The inspection service is free and the marina managers will be able to assist you with having these checks done, any haul out and cleaning costs will be at the owners expense.

| Duty Free Fuel |
You are able on duty free fuel at the Cullen Bay Marina jetty as you arrive in Darwin before you go into a marina. Yachts cannot be refuelled inside a marina and this will save the extra time and effort involved in coming out of a marina just to take on fuel.
Contact Australian Customs for further details and the necessary paperwork. |
