Cammeray Marina

About Cammeray Marina

Cammeray Marina occupies a sheltered, leafy corner of Long Bay in Sydney’s Middle Harbour, close to the city yet surprisingly removed from its pace. Established in 1965 and operated by the Rabbitts family, it has the settled feel of a marina built around long relationships with owners. We think the atmosphere is a major strength: the setting feels intimate and calm, while the wider harbour remains immediately available for serious boating.

The modern floating marina has deep-water access and accommodates vessels up to 65 feet, from smaller pleasure craft to cruising yachts. Swing moorings broaden the accommodation mix, with berths and moorings offered across varying vessel sizes. No current total count is published in the governed profile, so owners should ask about exact availability, access and dimensions rather than treating the marina as a walk-in destination. The team’s own boating experience adds useful local judgement.

Onsite professional services distinguish Cammeray from a berth-only facility. Electrical and mechanical engineering are available within the premises, and professional marine surveys can be arranged with a personal service. The YouSail record also notes slipping or lift-out capability, tender support, laundry, showers and security. That concentration of expertise is particularly attractive to owners who want a known team watching over both the berth and the maintenance programme.

Long Bay opens into Middle Harbour, providing access towards the Spit, Balmoral, Sydney Heads and the main harbour. The sheltered return is part of the pleasure, especially after a busy day on open water. Road access into Cammeray and the city is convenient, though the residential, bush-edged location is not designed as a bustling visitor precinct. What stands out to us is the sense of retreat without geographic isolation.

Our take is that Cammeray Marina is a strong fit for Sydney owners seeking trusted technical support and a quieter harbour home. It values personal service over resort extras, and its long operating history gives it a confidence that newer facilities often lack. Confirm berth or mooring availability, vessel limits and lift arrangements directly. For the right owner, it offers a rare blend of calm surroundings, capable trades and city proximity.

Services

Cammeray Marina offers floating berths and swing moorings for vessels of varying sizes, with the floating marina accommodating boats up to 65 feet. No current public berth count is verified, so prospective customers should submit length, beam, draft and access needs for assessment. Confirm shore power, water, tender arrangements, parking, security access and any limits on overnight stays before accepting an allocation.

Electrical and mechanical engineering services operate onsite, and professional marine surveys are promoted through the marina. The governed YouSail record also identifies slipping or lift-out support. Owners planning work should clarify maximum dimensions and weight, contractor rules, insurance requirements, labour rates, parts, lay days and environmental charges. A written scope is especially helpful when several specialists will contribute to the same project.

Marina amenities include showers and laundry according to the current YouSail feed, with security supporting the owner-focused setting. Availability and access hours should be confirmed directly because public detail is limited. The approach through Middle Harbour and Long Bay is sheltered, but skippers should still check current navigation information, weather and local traffic. Ask the team for arrival guidance and after-hours contacts before a first visit.

Ideal for

Sydney yacht and motorboat owners wanting a sheltered Middle Harbour base with engineering and survey expertise onsite. It particularly suits long-term customers who prefer personal service, local knowledge and a quieter marina environment.

What we love

• A tranquil Long Bay setting only minutes from central Sydney.
• Deep-water floating berths for vessels up to 65 feet.
• Electrical and mechanical engineering available onsite.
• Professional marine surveying within the marina’s service mix.
• Family operation and boating knowledge dating back to 1965.

To keep in mind

Berth and mooring counts are not publicly verified, so enquire with complete vessel dimensions. Confirm the precise lift-out, tender and amenity arrangements before relying on them. The marina is an owner-focused retreat rather than a public resort precinct, and advance coordination is important.
