Long Island Marina (Corleone Marinas)

About Long Island Marina (Corleone Marinas)

Long Island Marina sits at Brooklyn on the Hawkesbury River, surrounded by sandstone country, national park and the sheltered reaches that make this waterway such a rewarding cruising ground. As part of the Corleone Marinas portfolio, it combines a substantial berth and mooring operation with practical marine support. We think its strength is the balance: close enough to Sydney for regular use, yet the scenery and pace feel decisively removed from the city.

The marina has more than 100 berths ranging from 9 to 16 metres, including commuter berths for daily or overnight river stays. Power, water and television connections are included at the berths, and customer parking is complimentary. Nearby swing moorings accommodate boats up to 18 metres. Mooring customers can use self-drive dinghies or the marina's seven-day tender service, giving owners more than one way to reach the vessel.

Fuel is available at the marina, and an on-site slipway operated by Coast Marine handles motor vessels up to 18 metres. The technical offering includes antifouling, detailing, hull and deck repairs, topside work, surveys, vessel modifications and mechanical service for outboards, inboards and larger diesel engines. What stands out to us is the single-location practicality: owners can berth, fuel and arrange a meaningful maintenance programme without leaving the Hawkesbury.

Brooklyn itself adds rail access, food and a strong boating-town atmosphere, while the river opens into bays and tributaries in both directions. The operator describes more than 54 nautical miles of navigable river toward Windsor, though draft, bridge clearances and local conditions still determine how far any vessel should travel. Coastal crews approaching from Broken Bay should use current charts, weather and navigation information rather than treating the marina's sheltered setting as a substitute for passage planning.

Our take is that Long Island Marina suits Hawkesbury owners who want dependable support, motorboat skippers needing slipway access and visitors arranging a short river stay. The scale gives it more capability than a simple storage facility, but every berth, mooring and yard job remains subject to fit and availability. Send complete vessel details, book commuter space or tender access ahead and obtain a written work scope for repairs. Once those details are settled, it is an exceptionally useful base for exploring the river.

Services

Long Island Marina provides more than 100 wet berths from 9 to 16 metres, plus commuter berths for daily or overnight stays. Berths include power, water and television connection, with complimentary customer parking. Swing moorings take suitable boats up to 18 metres and include access by self-drive dinghy or a seven-day tender. Confirm dimensions, draft, insurance, utility specifications and current availability before booking.

The marina supplies fuel and has an on-site slipway for motor vessels up to 18 metres, operated by Coast Marine. Technical work can include antifouling, detailing, hull, deck and topside repairs, surveys, modifications and mechanical service for outboard, inboard and larger diesel engines. Slipway capacity depends on more than length, so provide beam, draft, displacement and hull details and obtain a quoted scope.

The office publishes seven-day hours, but arrival assistance, tender schedules and after-hours access should still be confirmed. Ask separately about pump-out, toilets, showers, laundry, waste disposal and contractor rules because these are not detailed in the core facility list. Brooklyn's rail station and local businesses add useful shoreside access. For commuter stays or maintenance bookings, reserve ahead rather than assuming an open berth or immediate slipway slot.

Ideal for

Hawkesbury motorboat and yacht owners, river cruisers and visiting crews wanting berths or moorings backed by fuel, tender access and on-site maintenance.

What we love

• More than 100 Hawkesbury River berths
• Power, water and parking included
• Seven-day tender and self-drive dinghies
• Fuel available at the marina
• An on-site slipway and broad technical support

To keep in mind

Berths, commuter stays, moorings and slipway work all require advance confirmation. Provide full vessel dimensions because the stated length limits do not guarantee fit. Check tender times, fuel access and any unlisted amenities, and obtain a written scope and schedule before commissioning maintenance.
