What Marina Users Think of Gold Anchor Marinas

Yaringa Boat Harbour
Over the last fifteen years of having boats moored at Yaringa Boat Harbour (3 Gold Anchor), I have always been provided with great, friendly services and ancillary services to enable my own work on my own boat. For the last three years I have cruised the east coast of Australia and Yaringa Boat Harbour stands out as the place I would keep my boat moored. Bob Barker 2010

Royal Motor Yacht Club Broken Bay Sydney
"Liz and I find our experience of the RMYC absolutely 1st class! Karen, Peter and their staff do a marvelous job. Given my desire to dodge the great unwashed, it never ceases to amaze me how comfortable and relaxed and at home I feel at this marvelous club. Thanks one and all – well done on the fabulous rating, but it should have been 5!" Doug Mulray 2010

"I would like to express my thanks and gratitude to all staff at the RMYC for their hospitality and friendliness and of course excellent service -- all achieved by good leadership and enthusiasm at the top. I invite overseas and interstate guests and without exception they are very favourably impressed with all aspects of the club." John Rubie 2010

Empire Marina Bobbin Head Sydney
"Berthing an old boat like mine has its challenges and so I am always grateful for the prompt friendly and expert assistance you and your colleagues provide dockside at Empire Marina. Similarly the care you take when lifting my boat on to the hard stand and antifouling it are greatly appreciated as are the very high standards of cleanliness and presentation of the marina walkways and facilities." Andrew Tink 2010

"I have made a long term berth commitment to Empire Marina Bobbin Head because I have been impressed with their continual upgrading of the marina and its facilities. Stephen and the team are dedicated to providing the best possible service, the highest standard facilities and meeting all our boating needs. The 5 Gold Anchor standard is the standard I expect." Cass van Weelderen 2010

Soldiers Point Marina Port Stephens
"Congratulations on the award of five golden anchors to Soldiers Point Marina. It's a well deserved award. Having stayed at many marinas during our east coast cruises, yours stands out in all categories and will remain our summer base of operations as long as you can accommodate us.
The bathroom facilities are legendary among the cruising fraternity and the availability of assistance when mooring our 46 ft cat in high winds is both rare and much appreciated. Topped off with two excellent restaurants, Soldiers Point remains our favourite marina." Ken & Millie Castle - 'Rhiannon' Leopard 46 2010

"We would like to thank you for the excellent service during our stay in your marina. We are a family from Belgium circumnavigating the world and can honestly say that Soldiers Point Marina is one of the friendliest, cleanest and most enjoyable marinas we have visited so far. You all made us feel at home." Verhaeghe Family, Belgium 2010

Anchorage Marina Port Stephens
"Anchorage Marina in beautiful Port Stephens became our 36-foot yacht's home away from home after we sailed here from Seattle two years ago. The marina staff are impeccably helpful and friendly. They keep a close eye on boats, especially when owners are away. The marina is well-maintained, earning Clean Marina status for their sound environmental practices. The local dolphins put their stamp of approval on as well! Most days they do a turn or two through the marina to see what's on and catch a tasty fish or two."

"Anchorage Marina Port Stephens is located on a quiet point away from the masses of tourist crowds, but close enough to enjoy the shops and other attractions when we wish. Boats in most berths are well protected by the breakwaters and the complimentary parking makes life much easier when you need to work on the boat or provision for the next trip. The marina hosts social events several times a year to introduce boatowners to one another. We also enjoy the lovely resort amenities ashore." Barbara and Jim Cole, Seattle, USA

"Having spent a lot of time travelling in and out of marinas it was a pleasant surprise to sail into Anchorage Marina Port Stephens with its relaxed feeling, pleasant staff and excellent facilities. After now spending twelve months working and running our yacht charter business Blue Water Sailing from Anchorage Marina Port Stephens we have found the staff here very helpful and pleasant. Anchorage Marina Port Stephens is in a perfect location with easy parking and just a short drive into both Nelson Bay and Salamander Bay for supplies…..a perfect place to unwind and enjoy your boating." Alistair Bailey, Blue Water Sailing, Corlette NSW
