d'Albora Marinas The Spit

About d'Albora Marinas The Spit

d'Albora The Spit is a major Middle Harbour marina in Mosman, offering 203 wet berths for vessels up to approximately 50 metres and 60 swing moorings in Quakers Hat and Pearl Bay. Dedicated superyacht berths, a full boatyard and award-winning dining give the precinct unusual breadth. We think its strength is the ability to handle sophisticated vessels while remaining enjoyable for families, casual diners and people taking their first licence-free boat trip.

Wet berthing is supported by showers, toilets and a waterside guest lounge. Fuel is available 24 hours, with dock assistance seven days a week during staffed periods. Swing-mooring customers should confirm tender access and service arrangements for their assigned area. Parking at The Spit is constrained, with limited onsite spaces and paid public alternatives, so arrival by car needs as much planning as arrival by water during busy weekends.

The full-service boatyard uses a 50-tonne travel lift, hardstand and a network of specialist providers for maintenance, repairs and refits. A dedicated yacht-brokerage office adds support for buying and selling. Larger vessels require full length, beam, draft, displacement, electrical load and lift-point details before either berth or yard suitability can be established. Superyacht capability is meaningful, but it is always allocation-specific rather than automatic.

Ormeggio at The Spit and Chiosco by Ormeggio provide two very different waterfront dining experiences, from refined occasions to relaxed Italian food. GoBoat's electric picnic craft carry up to eight people under current hire terms without requiring a boat licence. Middle Harbour then offers sheltered bays and routes towards the main harbour, although bridge clearance, traffic, weather and depth still shape each itinerary.

Our take is that The Spit is among Sydney's most complete marina destinations. Berths, moorings, fuel, repairs, brokerage, dining and hire boats serve almost every stage of boating life. The trade-off is demand and a busy precinct, so book early and clarify parking, tender service and utilities. With those details settled, The Spit combines professional marine capability with the pleasure of spending time by the harbour. The marina also works as a meeting point for owners, crew and guests, with enough activity ashore to make a service visit or overnight stay feel enjoyable rather than purely functional.

Provide complete vessel dimensions, displacement, power demand and lift points when enquiring. Mooring customers should confirm tender and access arrangements. Yard clients need a written scope covering lift, hardstand, labour, materials and contractor rules. Reserve parking and dining where possible, and review Middle Harbour navigation, bridge clearance and traffic before moving a large or unfamiliar vessel. Confirm fuel type, payment and after-hours access before relying on the dock. Event periods can affect marina movements and nearby road traffic.
