Marina pen or mooring?

A marina pen gives you walk-on access, and you arrange it with the marina. If you need power and water, say so when you ask, and each marina will confirm. Moorings in Port Phillip and Western Port are run by Parks Victoria, and every mooring needs a Parks Victoria permit. There are three kinds: an annual mooring (your own mooring tackle, with a permit issued each year), a seasonal mooring you book for November to April, and destination moorings for an overnight stop, first come first served. Where nothing is free, Parks Victoria keeps waiting lists.

What a marina will ask you

Length overall, beam, draft and the dates you need, in metres or feet. A marina can't say yes or no without all four, so have them ready before you ask.
