Scarborough Marina

About Scarborough Marina

Scarborough Marina sits on the Redcliffe Peninsula with a direct route into Moreton Bay, around 40 minutes by road north of central Brisbane. It combines a sizeable wet marina, dry-stack operation, fuel and a genuine working boatyard in one well-established precinct. We think that range is its greatest strength: owners can berth, launch, maintain and provision a boat without stitching together services scattered around the bay.

The wet marina has 235 berths for vessels from 10 to 20 metres, offered on casual, short-term and longer-term arrangements. Gated access and CCTV support security, while modern bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities make an extended stay more comfortable. Applications from transient liveaboards are welcomed, but approval remains essential and should never be assumed. Visiting crews should provide full vessel dimensions, draft, insurance, dates and occupancy details when requesting a berth.

For smaller powerboats, the dry-stack facility accommodates vessels up to 10 metres and uses an app-based valet service for launch and retrieval. That makes spontaneous bay days notably easier for owners who prefer covered or shore-based storage. A chandlery is available within the precinct, and 24-hour premium unleaded and diesel are dispensed onsite. What stands out to us is the practical continuity from storage or berth to fuel and open water.

The full-service boatyard is built around a 35-tonne travel lift, with hardstand and access to maintenance support for suitable vessels. The governed marina record also identifies a sewage pump-out; ask the office for the current location, operating process and availability before relying on it. Major berth-side work may be restricted, so repairs, outside contractors and any activity involving noise, hot work, paint or discharge should be cleared with marina management first.

Our take is that Scarborough Marina suits active Moreton Bay boaters, cruising yachts, family powerboats and owners who want multiple care options in one place. Nearby cafés, shops and transport add convenience without taking away from the working-marina feel. Confirm berth or dry-stack fit, liveaboard approval, lift limits, pump-out access and arrival instructions in advance. With that straightforward preparation, it is one of the peninsula's most complete and useful boating bases.
