Permits, clearance and coastal trading

Marine Parks permit

A commercial superyacht needs a Marine Parks permit. It can take up to 50 business days. Recreational use needs no permit. (GBRMPA, updated 2 April 2026.)

Foreign-registered yachts

A foreign-registered recreational superyacht needs an Australian Border Force control permit. Give the permit to GBRMPA to get login details for online anchorage bookings. (GBRMPA, 2026.)

Coastal trading

The Special Recreational Vessels Act 2019 let superyachts opt in to the coastal trading regime. The Department of Infrastructure says the Act sunset on 30 June 2025. Check the current coastal trading rules for your flag.
