Berth Allocation: At Breakwater, our team will try our best to allocate the most suitable berth for your needs - shorter term visits, longer stays or living aboard, we'll work with you to accommodate your boating needs. To allocate an appropriate berth, our staff will use your vessel’s overall length (i.e. including bowsprit, pulpit, anchor, davits, tenders & motors). On arrival, the Marina Manager may survey your vessel to confirm. If your boat exceeds the length or width of the nominated berth, we may need to allocate a larger berth size at the manager’s discretion.

At Breakwater, we've always accommodated all our new and returning visitors, and had flexibility to accept bookings any day, any time...........

So a heads up to the cruising community, if you're planning to stay around tropical North Queensland and wanting to stay over again with us in Townsville, make sure you give us a call early and book a berth so we can get you all in.
