More than 40 firefighters were called to the scene at 3:21am alongside a Port Authority of NSW firefighting vessel, Girawaa.
It took approximately 2.5 hours to extinguish the fire.
Three large yachts were destroyed by fire and sunk, with a fourth sustaining significant damage.
FRNSW, liaising with the Environment Protection Authority, deployed booms to contain debris and material, including oil and fuel.
An investigation into the cause of the fire is underway.
