Victorian marina choices include Port Phillip, Western Port and regional coastal towns. Convenience ashore is only one part of the decision; exposed water, weather changes and the approach to a berth can matter just as much.
CHOOSING IN VIC
For a home berth, inspect travel time, security, power and contractor access. For a visitor berth, ask for the marina’s current arrival directions, depth and shelter information. Use current forecasts and Notices to Mariners when planning a passage in or out of a local port.
