The historic Port of Port Fairy is a working port used by commercial fishing enterprises and recreational boaters and anglers. Situated on the Moyne River in Port Fairy, the Port has berths that can be rented on a casual or more permanent basis.
Some of the commercial operations that use the Port include abalone, cray, shark and squid fishing operations, as well as charter boat operators. Recreational users include yachts, recreational anglers and leisure craft, and the picturesque Port and wharf area is popular with locals and visitors alike.
The Port boasts beautiful bluestone training walls that run along the river's edge out to sea.
The Port of Port Fairy is operated and managed by Moyne Shire Council, which employs a full-time manager and two other staff to oversee operations. |
