G'day everyone,
Just need some help..Dad just had a mid life crisis at the age of 62... Sold his house, AND sold the Seafox 257 we have owned for just over 8 months...to buy a 8.5M Custom Built Oceanic Live aboard / fishing boat (pics and details are still coming...)
Anyway he wants to Pen the boat and live on it. He is thinking Jurien / Hillaries...I have been on the Website to suss out Penn prices but its very hard to interpret..had anyone rented a Pen recently? what would we be looking at price wise?
Cheers guys..

Hillarys
Hillarys will be as stated above but the minium you pay for is 8m & the minimum pen is 10m unless it has changed recently. As far as i know you will not be able to live aboard at hillarys. There were a few boats a while back that had live aboard but they have been from yrs back.I have assumed you are asking about the public side of Hillarys. I cannot say for the Yacht club side. If you are looking at Hillarys public i would recommend you go the north side by the boat yard as it can get quite noisy on the southern side.

Pen
Gday,
Yacth club is about $450 a metre of pen pa. Live aboard is $2 a day. Unfortunately you struggle to get pens due to the huge demand. They arn't even allowing anyone on the waiting list, have to know someone. As for the DPI who own the rest chances of getting one is pretty slim.
Goodluck
