Steps to Booking the Pontoons and Swing Moorings
- Complete the online Request to Book Pontoon & Mooring Form or call the Club on 07 3409 9022 or email our staff to make a booking (for a maximum of two nights). As a full member you can book one month in advance.
- When making the booking please advise our staff of your name, mobile, member number, boat name, length and credit card details in the event that a cancellation fee applies.
- The booking will not be held without a credit card. A cancellation fee will only be charged if you have not cancelled by 12noon on the day of your booking and the booking cancelled if the vessel has not arrived by 4pm unless the bar staff have been advised.
- Upload via the booking form as copy of your vessel’s insurances and a photograph of test and tag of shore power leads or email
- Follow the LSC Pontoon and Mooring Rules.
- The club reserves the right to book out the pontoon for sanctioned events.
- The Club Manager or a Director can cancel all bookings and request that vessels currently on the pontoon be removed if weather conditions may cause damage to the pontoon or the vessels. The person in charge of the vessel is required to ensure mobile phones are on at all times in case contact is required.
Should a member or visitor not follow the LSC Pontoon and Mooring Rules, they may be suspended for a period of time from using the pontoon.
Key points:
- Jet skis are required to be parked on either the rock wall side of the main pontoon or the side pontoon. Jet skis must tie up with one tie point to make space for other jet skis.
- Where possible, small vessels and dinghies should be berth on the rock wall side of the main pontoon or on the side pontoon.
- Vessels berthed on the southern end of the main pontoon must ensure their vessel overhangs the southern end to allow room for more vessels.
- Swing moorings are for full members only.
