Burraneer Bay Marina

About Burraneer Bay Marina

Burraneer Bay Marina occupies a sheltered position on the north-western side of Burraneer Bay, opening onto the bright waterways of Port Hacking. The marina has undergone a substantial redevelopment and now presents as a polished but practical home base for southern Sydney boating. We think its strongest quality is how many parts of boat ownership are handled in one place, from a regular berth or mooring to maintenance, fuel and brokerage.

Wet berths, swing moorings and work-berth hire give owners several ways to use the facility. The governed YouSail record carries an earlier figure of 100 berths, while the current operator confirms the accommodation types without publishing a refreshed total, so we would ask directly rather than plan around a historic number. The calm bay position supports straightforward marina life, with Port Hacking cruising close beyond the local moorings.

Vessel care is a central part of the offer. A 50-tonne boat lift and hardstand support maintenance, detailing and antifouling, while the marina also promotes yacht management and an associated brokerage. Fuel is served seven days a week, and there is a pump-out facility, kiosk, restrooms, car parking and dinghy storage. That compact service mix is particularly useful for busy owners who want reliable support between weekends on the water.

Port Hacking is a rewarding home cruising ground. Crews can explore bays, beaches and the forested edge of Royal National Park, or head towards open water when conditions allow. Burraneer Bay itself feels residential and protected, making the return to the marina pleasantly calm. What stands out to us is the contrast between this sheltered base and the variety of boating available only a short run away.

Our take is that Burraneer Bay Marina suits owners looking for attentive, full-service care without leaving southern Sydney. It is not primarily a visitor resort, yet overnight, monthly and permanent stays are promoted, subject to availability. Confirm berth dimensions, lift limits and the scope of any yard work directly. For the right vessel, it offers an appealing blend of convenience, modern facilities and immediate access to Port Hacking. The marina feels well matched to regular owners who value continuity of care.

Services

The marina offers wet berths, swing moorings and a work berth, with overnight, monthly and permanent stays promoted subject to availability. The current operator does not publish a refreshed total berth count, so provide length, beam, draft and service needs when enquiring. Confirm the allocated position, power and water provision, mooring access and after-hours arrival arrangements before relying on a booking.

A 50-tonne boat lift and hardstand support regular maintenance, antifouling and detailing. Yacht-management and brokerage services are also available through the marina’s associated operation. Owners planning a lift should request a written scope covering haul and launch, pressure cleaning, hardstand days, labour, materials, environmental fees and maximum dimensions. Ask whether outside contractors are permitted before engaging anyone.

Fuel is served seven days a week, and the precinct includes a pump-out facility, restrooms, kiosk, parking and dinghy storage. These services make routine ownership easier, but operating hours and access conditions should still be checked ahead of time. For arrivals through Port Hacking, review current weather, tide and navigation information and seek local guidance if unfamiliar with the route into Burraneer Bay.

Ideal for

Port Hacking motorboat and yacht owners wanting sheltered accommodation, fuel and maintenance in one base. It also suits busy southern Sydney owners who value yacht management, brokerage and a capable yard close to their cruising ground.

What we love

• A sheltered setting on the north-western side of Burraneer Bay.
• Berths, swing moorings and work-berth options in one facility.
• A 50-tonne lift and hardstand for practical vessel care.

To keep in mind

Confirm current berth or mooring availability rather than relying on an older published count. Obtain yard pricing and contractor conditions in writing, including lift dimensions and lay days. Review Port Hacking weather, tides and navigation details before arrival, especially on a first visit.
