Berthing & Harbour Soundings

The Apollo Bay Harbour soundings were taken on 21 May 2026 and can be found on the Race Documents page.

There is limited berthing and you will need to raft, please bring fenders etc. Matthew Saunders (0418 320441)is the duty officer on duty, please reach out to him to make arrangements for access to the main breakwater.  We have been asked for crews to consult the soundings before calling, and if you are in doubt about your ability to safely navigate the entrance with tide and depth, it’s best not to enter.  Please make contact upon arrival to arrange your key access from the marina and to the showers (eftpos only).
