Casual pens for hire in the swan?

Does anyone familiar with the river know if any of the yacht clubs etc rent short term (3 or 4 days) casual pens for 7 meter boat?

Thinking about bringing the boat over the xmas holidays and staying on board with a couple of the kids while exploring the river and Rotto.

good luck finding somewhere casual in the river its a bit of a headfuck

good news is the DOT in freo on Capo De Orlando drive has built some floating jettys in the fishing boat harbour if you have the appropriate insurances they will hire you a pen

rotto you can get hire moorings as well, just get in touch with the Rotto island authority

thanks mate, Freo Sailing Club seems to, but its a bit vague on their website as to whether its only for members of other clubs?
I'll speak to DOT, though in Gero when I wanted to pen my boat for a couple of days while working on the trailer they wanted $100 a night (min 10 meter cost).

 A mate of mine has a mooring in freshwater bay that you could probably use

thanks mate, I might get back to you about that though Id prefer to get alongside so kids can jump off and stretch legs etc
Pretty sure thered be a few places round where you can pull up at night without being noticed? Certainly in the Fishing Boat harbour at least
