Vessel fit before rank
Choose a marina by boat type
The highest-ranked marina is not automatically the right berth for every hull. Start with the limits that can make a marina physically or operationally unsuitable, then compare service quality and location.
Catamarans
How to choose an Australian marina for a cruising catamaran: berth beam, multihull haul-out, draft, turning room, power and access.
Keelboats
How to assess marina depth, tidal access, rigging support, haul-out capability and berth protection for a sailing keelboat.
Motor yachts
How to select a marina for a motor yacht: fuel access, berth dimensions, shore power, mechanical support, waste services and security.
Superyachts
What to verify when selecting an Australian superyacht marina: LOA, beam, draft, bunkering, power, access, security and service coordination.
Then verify the marina itself
Use the marina facilities guide, compare the national ranking, and contact the operator with your exact LOA, beam, draft, displacement and service requirements.
