Rowell Marine

About Rowell Marine

Rowell Marine is a boutique private marina at Newport on Pittwater, shaped around secure berthing, attentive vessel care and the Rowell family's long connection with the local marine industry. The setting combines protected water with quick access to Broken Bay and the lower Pittwater cruising ground. We think the marina's strength is its personal scale: it feels designed for owners who want a professional team to know their boat, not simply allocate it a number.

Berthing is deliberately limited and offered on long-term or seasonal arrangements by enquiry, with no public berth count advertised. The marina provides shore power with onsite monitoring, fresh water, showers, waste pump-out, controlled gate access, 24-hour surveillance and parking for tenants and visitors. Send overall length, beam, draft, displacement, insurance and intended term so the team can confirm fit, availability and the practical details of access.

Vessel management ranges from washdowns, polishing and surface protection to hull cleaning, scheduled checks and coordination of trusted trades. The concierge service can assist with arrivals and departures and help an owner organise cleaning or maintenance, supporting a genuine walk-on, walk-off style of boating. What stands out to us is the continuity between berth and care: the same marina environment can monitor the vessel and coordinate the work needed to keep it ready.

For out-of-water projects, a 45-tonne travel lift managed with Mac Marine Group handles boats up to 70 feet. The hardstand has 32-amp and three-phase power, while a 40-foot paint shed supports resprays and repairs. Lifting, refit, paint and contractor work require a defined scope and confirmed booking. The facility also offers a seaplane tender connection by arrangement, an unusually polished service for guests arriving into Newport.

Our take is that Rowell Marine is ideal for discerning Pittwater owners who value privacy, security and coordinated care as much as location. The waterway remains active with ferries, moorings, paddlers and busy weekend traffic, while offshore departures through Broken Bay require normal weather and sea-state planning. Confirm the berth, service schedule and arrival support before moving. With that organised, Rowell offers a refined home base where the boat can be maintained and enjoyed with less friction.

To keep in mind

Berths are limited and no public count is advertised, so availability and vessel fit require direct confirmation. Travel-lift, hardstand and paint work need separate bookings. Plan movements around Pittwater traffic and check Broken Bay conditions before any offshore passage.
