There are four main approaches into Gladstone Harbour and the Gladstone Marina.
South Channel
(Main Shipping Channel)
East Channel
North Entrance
The Narrows
Each offer a unique and spectacular way to enter the Harbour.
There are a number of published cruising guides and websites, including Maritime Safety Queensland, which provide a detailed description of navigation in and around the Gladstone Harbour and surrounds. Remember to always consult your charts, tides and weather.
Transit Guide
Gladstone Harbour
Gladstone Marina and Boating Guide 2021 13
East Channel and South ChannelApproach
Approaching from the south, simply follow the channel markers from the Fairway Buoy, or pick up the channel as you head inside the Fairway Buoy.
Coming from the east, you round Gatcombe Head and enter through East Channel.
Advantages
Deepest draft and easy access.
Scenery
Admire the ships and sheltered Gladstone Harbour on this route. Troll a lure for mackerel, trevally, queenfish and cobia.
Notes
This approach can be affected by big outgoing tides, which can make travel time longer than expected. Check your tides and plan accordingly for the easiest passage, or leave enough time to combat the tidal influence. This is the deepest and safest entrance, allowing passage in all conditions.
Gladstone Marina is easy to access
Gladstone Marina and Boating Guide 202114
Rat Island, North Entrance
Gladstone Marina and Boating Guide 2021 15
North Entrance Approach
From the north, you will approach between Facing Island and Curtis Island.
Consult your charts, strictly follow the lead markers, and ensure you know your draft and the tides.
Advantages
Quick entry and exit — less tide dependant than The Narrows.
Scenery
Cruise through tropical islands past the Southend community, the Oaks camping ground and many privately owned tropical island paradises. Keep your eye open for turtles and dolphins. There is a turtle rehabilitation centre on Quoin Island.
Notes
Ensure you know your draft and the tidal requirements for your vessel. Keep leads in line on the bow and stern. Outgoing tides and northerly winds can be rough. Troll a lure for mackerel, trevally, queenfish, cobia or even a marlin on the approach to the entrance and through the islands.
Gladstone Marina and Boating Guide 202116
The NarrowsApproach
The Narrows is the stretch of water between Curtis Island and the mainland. It starts from Sea Hill Point in the north and extends to Grahams Creek in the south.
Please consult the Gladstone Marina team for local knowledge before travelling The Narrows section of water. Ensure you know your draft and the tidal requirements for your vessel, as The Narrows will dry out at low tide. However, many deep drafted vessels pass through on high tides. Gladstone Marina has all the relevant charts, and the team can talk you through the anchorages, tidal requirements and markers.
Advantages
This is the shortest way when travelling north from the Gladstone Marina or approaching from the north. The route is calm and sheltered, and it’s 8NM shorter to go through The Narrows from Gladstone Marina to Roslyn Bay, Yeppoon.
Scenery
Beautiful, isolated flat-water cruising with unspoilt nature including dugongs, turtles and dolphins, as well as the rare snub-nosed dolphin. Extraordinary fishing and crabbing.
Notes
The Narrows is beaconed as if Rockhampton was the major Port. It is suggested you should start transiting The Narrows (from Black Swan to Twin Islands) half an hour before Gladstone (Standard Port) high tide, so you will be transiting on a flooding tide.
For boats with a keel, high tide in Gladstone (Standard Port) should be equal to or greater than your draft plus 1.5m.
For example: for a Keel boat with a draft of 1.8m, the calculation is 1.8m + 1.5m = 3.3m. Therefore, you need a high tide of at least 3.3m.
Take some midge repellent, as the area can be thick with them at times.
Suggested Passage
You can cruise straight from Gladstone Marina if it’s an afternoon tide. If it’s earlier, overnight at Grahams Creek, Targinie Creek or Black Swan and travel when the tide is higher. Coming in from the north, you can overnight at Deception Creek, Badger Creek or opposite the islands that mark the start of the drying out area of the crossing. Get your tides right, consult your charts and enjoy the tranquillity.

Please keep your eye on the tides and consult your charts. Access to most places is possible for all, however the deeper draft vessels and access to anchorages is dependent on tides.
Town of 1770The Town of 1770 (also known as Seventeen Seventy) is a sheltered anchorage with beautiful clear water and spectacular sunsets. Contact Volunteer Marina Rescue Round Hill (Call Sign VMR 477 on VHF 81 or 82 or phone 07 4974 9383) for information on accessing the Town of 1770.
Access is tidal and the channel does shift. Fuel and basic supplies are available from the small marina. If you can’t get in by water, it’s a must do day trip from Gladstone Marina.
Pancake CreekPancake Creek is located approximately 60NM north of Bundaberg and approximately 30NM south of Gladstone, with high tides guaranteeing access for most vessels. Pancake Creek is in the lee of Bustard Head and is a truly wonderful anchorage known for its wilderness and natural beauty. There are a number of environmentally friendly moorings available for public use. Take time for a stopover and explore the
Bustard Head lighthouse and surrounds. The crabbing up the creek is excellent — a feast of freshly caught mud crabs, watching the sun go down on your back deck, is a fabulous way to finish your day! Or, simply rest and wait for the trade winds to ease when migrating south.
Above: Pancake Creek
The coastline around Gladstone Marina provides plenty of opportunity to explore, with sheltered anchorages providing a perfect place to relax, try your hand at fishing or to soak in the scenery.

Rodds HarbourWest of Pancake Creek is the Rodds Peninsula and Rodds Harbour. There is deep water access to Rodds Harbour and Seven Mile Creek, and the area offers plenty of sheltered anchorage. Turkey Beach has a boat ramp, pontoon and a tidal swimming enclosure. The Turkey Beach general store is a short walk from the pontoon and can cater to most needs. Thornton Creek in Seven Mile Creek provides easy access to excellent shelter in extreme weather. The region is renowned for its national parks, dugong sanctuary, fishing and crabbing. So make sure you keep your eye out for dugongs and dolphins when cruising in; and when you anchor up, be sure to throw in a line to catch a fish for dinner — it won’t get any fresher!
Continuing up the coast, Hummock Hill Island, Colosseum Inlet, Wild Cattle Island and Boyne River offer great fishing spots with extensive mangrove systems and wetlands. The Colosseum Inlet wetlands is a natural wonderland, considered to be of national importance as it’s home to many rare and endangered species.
Gladstone Harbour Gladstone Harbour and Port Curtis provide numerous anchorages and shelter, where you can anchor for a relaxing lunch only a short cruise from the Gladstone Marina. Popular anchorages are off Oaks Beach, South End, Farmers Point and Gatcombe Head. Each spot has advantages in different weather conditions.
Curtis Island is a bird-spotter’s heaven, with jabirus, herons, brolgas, sea eagles, wood ducks, black swans and the rare yellow chat all inhabiting the island. Stroll around and immerse yourself in its beauty or simply enjoy your very own tropical anchorage from the comfort of your vessel.
Grahams Creek is a large tidal inlet at the beginning of The Narrows, which extends into Curtis Island roughly 5NM eastward towards the coast. It is a good point to wait for tidal passage through The Narrows or seek shelter from inclement weather. Black Swan Island and Targinie Creek, behind Kangaroo Island, are also excellent options at the Gladstone end of The Narrows. This entire area is known for its impressive fishing and crabbing.
Yellow PatchYellow Patch is a beautiful anchorage on the northeast end of Curtis Island. Yellow Patch is named after the towering yellow sand hill, which creates a dramatic backdrop to the anchorage. The climb up the sand hill provides some exercise and a stunning view over the entrance, anchorage and on a clear day, all the way to Great Keppel Island. The entrance is tidal — check your charts and tides, and watch your depth among shifting sandbanks.

The Capricorn Bunker Group — Southern Great Barrier ReefThe Capricorn Bunker Group of islands and reefs is the perfect and accessible introduction to the Great Barrier Reef.
Cruising this section of the Southern Great Barrier Reef is an unforgettable experience and offers exceptional reef viewing, cruising, snorkelling and diving. The Southern Great Barrier Reef is rich in sea life, coral and scenery.
Navigation through the Capricorn Bunker Group can be effortless as most of the reefs have islands and wide channels between them.
Lady Musgrave IslandLady Musgrave Island is instantly recognisable, with a large coral lagoon with deep water access. This tropical paradise and sheltered lagoon provides a safe anchorage and abounds with masses of fish, coral and turtles. Keep a look out for coral bommies when navigating in the lagoon, but with clear tropical water, spotting and avoiding them is easy and they are all marked on charts. Lady Musgrave is the jewel in the crown of the Southern Great Barrier Reef and very popular.
Fitzroy ReefFitzroy Reef is another stunning lagoon with a deep water entrance, but without a land mass. Deep anchorage on the southwest corner will protect from a north easterly and a north westerly wind. The deep water entrance is marked clearly for a good anchorage inside the lagoon. There is excellent fishing in the area.

Wistari Reef Adjacent to Heron Island, Wistari Reef is an elevated lagoon, which is shallow and crammed with coral. The best dive site on this reef is the brilliant Wistari Wall. This sloping wall drops from three metres to 20 metres and is decorated with many striking corals. There is also excellent reef walking and snorkelling. Shelter in the lee of the reef for anchorage.
Mast Head Island Mast Head Island is a beautiful and accessible coral island close to Irving Reef, Polmaise Reef and Erskine Island. It is located just 31NM northeast of Gladstone. Boaters can shelter in the lee of the island to anchor in SE to NE winds. The island is popular with campers and day-trippers due to its close proximity to Gladstone.
North West IslandNorth West Island is a hidden gem of the Southern Great Barrier Reef and only 40NM northeast of Gladstone. It is the second largest coral cay in the area and offers opportunities for camping, bushwalking, nature study, reef walking, diving and snorkelling. Camping on the island requires a permit.
This is just a small selection of the islands and reefs in close proximity to Gladstone. Consult your charts and weather forecast and explore the numerous reefs and islands in the area at your leisure.

Fishing Adventures
From inshore to offshore, there is a plethora of fishing options to keep the casual or serious fisher entertained for a lifetime.
For a true fishing bucket list experience, there are a number of mothership charter operators that do extended voyages into the Coral Sea to fish remote reefs and atolls to catch wahoo, dogtooth tuna and mega coral trout.
Locally, try your luck at any of the rocky points in the harbour for javelin fish (Grunter) and the iconic barramundi. Drop some baits or jigs down over Rock Cod Shoals for trout and red emperor, and keep your eyes open for birds working around schools of tuna, which can be caught by casting metal lures into the schools. Trolling large lures around any drop off or structure can result in huge (and delicious) Spanish mackerel, cobia or giant trevally that will stretch your arms and fishing tackle to their limits.
The local fishing tackle shops are happy to point you in the right direction, give advice on fin fish closures and provide free maps showing sanctuary zones where no fishing is allowed. These maps are also available online and through the Eye on the Reef zoning app. Zone 18 covers the Gladstone Region and Capricorn Bunker Group. Hefty fines apply, so please be sure you know where you can and can’t fish.
Gladstone Marina supports sustainable fishing practices and encourages the use of artificial baits and lures. We encourage catch and release fishing practices (or take only what you need), so there is plenty for future generations to enjoy.
We’d love to hear about your adventures, particularly if you catch your fish of a lifetime, so let us know at the Gladstone Marina office.
The Gladstone region offers some of the best fishing in Australia.

Extreme Weather Preparation
While the likelihood of a cyclone in Gladstone is small (the last Cyclone directly through Gladstone was in 1949), good preparation and plans will help ensure you and your vessel are best placed to deal with any extreme weather event. The Gladstone Marina Cyclone
Management Plan is part of the Marina Emergency Management Plan. Each plan includes a number of jobs and checklists that our team follows before, during and after any extreme weather event. The Marina team is highly trained on how to manage these events, ensuring your vessels and Gladstone Marina is in the best possible hands.
• Ensure that all contact details provided to Gladstone Marina are up to date.
• Check your insurance. It is compulsory and a requirement of your berthing to maintain insurance against any damage to vessels, environmental clean-up (discharge of any fuels, lubricants and sewage from holding tanks) and salvage.
• Observe neighbouring vessels for anything that may become hazardous to your vessel and surrounding vessels. If you see anything of concern, please contact the Marina office at your earliest convenience.
• Check the Bureau of Meteorology for regular updates — www.bom.gov.au.
• Refer to the Maritime Safety Queensland Gladstone website for Heavy Weather Event Procedure and alert warning systems (Extreme Weather Event Contingency Plan — Gladstone Region 2020/21).
• Determine your plan as a vessel owner to manage your vessel in a cyclone event. Have a cyclone plan and ensure your family and crew are aware of it.
• Consider arrangements for access to your vessel by other parties (to secure or remove a vessel).
• Comply with all Marina mooring rules and directives.
• Lessen windage on your vessel and consider removing booms, solar panels and clears.
• Use long mooring lines and double them up. Do not tie off to a pile without consulting Marina Operations staff.
• Remove all loose equipment and lash down dinghies and tenders if they cannot be removed altogether.
• Always follow all Marina Operations staff directions.
• Always follow Regional Harbour Master directions.
If there is a Yellow Alert (24 hours prior to cyclone impact), it is our policy to remove all vessels from fixed wharves (service wharf and pilot wharf) to appropriately sized floating berths.
