Boating
As benifits a marina, boating is an integral pastime on Thesen Islands. Most homes have private waterfront jetties, and those that don't, have access to and ownership of one of the many communal moorings located on most Islands. Harbour Town has moorings outside the waterfront restaurants and alongside shops and public facilities. Slipways are provided at several spots throughout the Islands.
  
All Thesen Islands craft are required to display logo sticker identity for safety and security purposes.
A "no wake" boat speed policy is strictly enforced on the waterways. This is not only for safety reasons, but also to protect the sensitive and in some instances endangered marine organisms which have attached themselves to the gabions and jetties. A Skipper's license is required to pilot motorized craft on the waterways or the estuary. The use of 4 stroke outboard motors is strongly recommended to minimize pollution.
The calm waterways are particularly suited to the use of kayaks and canoes. The annual canoe race through the Islands is a popular event for both rowers and spectators alike.
