Port Stephens Moorings and Services.

[ROD1448]

Hi,
I'm looking at possibly moving my boat from Lake Macquarie to Port Stephens and wanted to hear of any good or bad points/experiences to help me make up my mind.
Does anyone here have or had a boat moored at Port Stephens that could assist with a fair mechanic in the area, slipping yard and a mooring contractor as I can only find one mooring contractor for Port Stephens and they are over double the cost of the mooring at Lake Macquarie. Is it going to be a lot more expensive having my boat at Port Stephens??

Any info or recommendations would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Rod

That would have been an experience. Also at Swansea you have to book the bridge so it will open to get out and back in. It's a pain, Port Stephens is much better and fishing much better as well.
