An extensive search around the Port Stephens coastline, in the New South Wales Hunter region, has failed to turn up any evidence of a missing Melbourne yachtsman.

Ron Anderson, 73, was last seen on July 14 rowing ashore from his yacht in a dinghy at Shoal Bay.

Water police coordinator Sergeant Tony Hogg says Mr Anderson's whereabouts remains a mystery.

"The sea conditions and visibility was excellent, the guys were able to get in amongst the coastline and areas we wanted to have a look at, and unfortunately we haven't located anything that can assist us further in this matter," he said.

The case of a Melbourne yachtsman who disappeared north of Newcastle five months ago has been referred to the coroner.

Seventy-three-year-old Ron Anderson was last seen rowing ashore from his yacht in a dinghy at Shoal Bay, in the New South Wales Hunter region, on July 14.

Mr Anderson and his travelling companion, Sydney man Gregory Turnbull, were on a trip from Melbourne to Queensland. Mr Turnbull has since been found.

Several searches failed to find any trace of Mr Anderson and a police spokesman says all leads have been exhausted.

A water police spokesman says the incident brief has been completed and the case is now in the hands of the coroner.

He says Mr Anderson's family travelled from Melbourne around a fortnight ago to collect his yacht, Gnosis, which had been moored at Shoal Bay since his disappearance.
