Como Marina

About Como Marina

Como Marina is a character-rich boating base on the Georges River, with a history reaching back to the late nineteenth century and a setting that still feels closely tied to the local village. The current operation combines a renovated floating jetty, permanent berthing, short-term moorings, fuel, slipping, marine service and small-boat hire. Add waterfront food and rail access, and the result is unusually versatile for a suburban Sydney marina. We think its strength lies in making the river approachable from several angles.

Berth holders receive water and electrical hookups as part of the marina offer, with locked-gate access supporting visits outside staffed hours. Short-term moorings may be available nearby by prior arrangement, useful for crews who need a temporary place rather than a permanent pen. Diesel and unleaded fuel are sold onsite. First-time arrivals should follow the marina's direction about where to wait or tie up, taking particular care not to obstruct the fuel area.

The working side includes two slipways, generally described as suitable for vessels up to about 50 feet depending on hull form and model. Mechanical servicing, slipping, antifouling and related care can be discussed directly with the team. That makes Como useful not just as storage but as a maintenance relationship. Boat sales and other marine activity add to the sense of a complete local hub, although every lift or slip booking still needs full dimensions and an agreed scope.

Visitors without their own boat can hire self-drive runabouts or pontoon boats, with safety gear and local maps included under the current programme. It is an appealing way to explore the Georges River without trailer logistics. Back ashore, the waterfront precinct includes café, Thai and tapas options, while onsite parking and a walk of about ten minutes to Como railway station make meeting friends or returning home relatively straightforward.

Our take is that Como Marina suits owners who enjoy a personal, neighbourhood-style base with practical services close by. It will not provide the deep-water scale of a harbour superyacht facility, and the river demands attention to depth, tides and local navigation. Yet for family boating, relaxed river outings and owners wanting fuel and maintenance at their home marina, it offers a compelling mix. Confirm berth fit or hire conditions, then allow time to enjoy the destination as well as the boat.

Services

Como Marina provides permanent wet berthing on a renovated floating jetty, with water and electricity included under current berth arrangements. Locked-gate access supports berth holders outside staffed hours. Short-term moorings can be requested nearby, while diesel and unleaded fuel are available onsite. Visiting crews should call for directions and avoid tying up in a way that blocks the fuel service point.

Two slipways support maintenance for many vessels up to roughly 50 feet, subject to hull design, beam, draft, weight and the marina's current handling limits. Mechanical servicing, slipping and antifouling are advertised, and boat-sales activity is also associated with the precinct. Owners should obtain a written quote covering timing, labour, materials, environmental charges, contractor access and launch arrangements before work begins.

Self-drive runabouts and pontoon boats are available for hire, with safety equipment and local maps provided. Waterfront dining, onsite parking and Como railway station within walking distance add useful landside convenience. Confirm berth or mooring availability, access hours, fuel operating times, slipway suitability and river depth before arrival. Hire customers should review licences, passenger limits, bonds, weather policy, navigation boundaries and refuelling obligations during the handover.

Ideal for

Georges River boat owners wanting berthing, fuel and maintenance in a friendly waterfront precinct, plus families and visitors seeking an accessible self-drive boat day without owning a vessel.

What we love

• A boating history that reaches back to the late nineteenth century.
• Water and electricity included with current berth arrangements.
• Two slipways and practical mechanical and antifouling support.
• Runabout and pontoon hire for newcomers to river boating.
• Waterfront dining, parking and rail access in one compact precinct.

To keep in mind

Slipway suitability varies by hull shape and weight, so confirm more than overall length. First-time arrivals should request tie-up directions and keep the fuel area clear. Review Georges River depths, tides and hire boundaries before setting out.
