Narooma’s waterways open wide from the marina: hire a fully equipped five‑seater, step off the waterfront jetties and spend between two and six hours fishing or simply cruising the far South Coast channels. The boats come with Biminis for shade and padded seats, and no boat licence is required, so it’s an easy, self-directed day on the water.
