Facilities and moorings

Tasmania’s waterways are supported by an extensive network of marine facilities, including boat ramps, jetties, pontoons, marinas, navigation aids, and public moorings.

These facilities help recreational and commercial boaters access the state’s rivers, bays, estuaries, and coastal waters safely and efficiently. Marine and Safety Tasmania (MAST) manages mooring permits and provides public cruising moorings at selected locations, while mooring information and permit details can be viewed through MAST GIS.

Whether you’re launching, cruising, fishing, or staying overnight, Tasmania’s marine infrastructure helps make boating safer, more accessible, and more enjoyable.
