Operated by Narooma Marina · Narooma, New South Wales
Nestled on the far South Coast of New South Wales, Narooma offers some of Australia’s most accessible and rewarding estuarine fishing. Narooma Marina’s Fishing Boat Hire allows adventurers to take the helm of a fully-equipped four-seater boat—perfect for up to five people—without the need for a boat licence. Launch right from the waterfront jetties and set out across crystal-clear waters where the Wagonga Inlet and surrounding ocean meet.
Narooma’s waterways are characterized by a dynamic mix of sandy beaches, rocky headlands, and sheltered bays, making it a versatile venue for both casual cruising and serious angling. You’ll find the boats fitted with padded seating and Bimini sun shades, delivering comfort for hours spent chasing tailor, bream, or flathead beneath wide skies framed by coastal eucalypts. Even non-fishers will appreciate the chance to soak in striking views of the Montague Island lighthouse, the dense kelp forests below, and the pelicans and cormorants that frequent the inlet.
