The Marina Mindarie

About The Marina Mindarie

The Marina Mindarie is a northern Perth boating base wrapped into a lively waterfront precinct of restaurants, bars, accommodation and public spaces. Floating jetties sit behind a wave attenuator, creating a calm inner harbour on an otherwise exposed stretch of Indian Ocean coastline. We think that combination is the marina's signature: the breakwaters provide a practical home for the boat, while the boardwalk gives owners and visiting crews somewhere enjoyable to spend the time ashore.

Fully serviced pens are offered in 10, 12, 15, 18 and 20-metre sizes, alongside dedicated catamaran berths. Long-term licences and casual stays are available. Secure overnight berths must be booked and carry a two-night minimum, while casual boardwalk positions have a published maximum of two nights. Submit the full length, beam, draft, vessel type and dates so Guest Services can direct the boat to a suitable pen rather than relying only on the nominal size band.

Jetty fees include utilities, and pontoon access is controlled through gated entries using security tags. Diesel and premium unleaded are sold onsite. Berth holders and visitors can use toilets, showers and laundry, while hospitality venues provide free Wi-Fi. A boat ramp, ticketed trailer parking and annual parking passes support trailer boats. What stands out to us is the complete recreational mix, from secure marina storage to launching, dining and a hotel within the same precinct.

Fishing and dive charters depart locally, adding options for visitors without their own vessel. The marina is recognised as a Five Gold Anchor facility. No onsite travel lift, hardstand or full working boatyard is verified, however, so significant maintenance or haul-out should be arranged elsewhere. Confirm whether any chandlery, trade or retail service is currently operating before relying on it, and ask Guest Services about fuel hours, electrical compliance and access-card collection.

Our take is that Mindarie suits Perth owners, catamarans, trailer boats and coastal visitors who value secure berthing with an active social waterfront. The harbour entrance can be affected by westerly swell, afternoon sea breezes and winter fronts even when the water inside remains calm. Check the latest coastal forecast, swell, tide and official navigation information, approach squarely on the marked line and avoid rushing a marginal entry. With the weather and booking aligned, this is an easy place to turn a boating stop into a genuine coastal break.

Services

The Marina Mindarie offers fully serviced floating pens in 10, 12, 15, 18 and 20-metre sizes, plus catamaran berths. Secure casual stays require booking and have a two-night minimum; boardwalk moorings have a maximum two-night stay. Long-term licences are also available. Provide full vessel dimensions and dates because the nominal pen length does not guarantee beam or draft suitability.

Utilities are included with jetty fees, and gated pontoons use a security-tag system. Diesel and premium unleaded are available onsite. Toilets, showers and laundry support marina users, while hospitality venues offer free Wi-Fi. The precinct also has a boat ramp, casual ticketed trailer parking, annual parking passes, waterfront dining and hotel accommodation.

No onsite travel lift, hardstand or full-service boatyard is verified, so arrange major maintenance elsewhere. Confirm fuel hours, power requirements, access-tag collection, parking and any current retail or trade service with Guest Services. For arrival, check the coastal forecast, swell, tide and navigation information; westerly conditions and strong afternoon sea breezes can make the short exposed entrance uncomfortable even when the inner marina is calm.

Ideal for

Northern Perth boat owners, catamarans, trailer boats and coastal visitors seeking serviced berths, fuel, secure access and a strong hospitality precinct ashore.

What we love

• Serviced pens from 10 to 20 metres
• Dedicated catamaran berthing options
• Diesel and premium unleaded onsite
• Secure gated jetties with included utilities
• Dining and accommodation around the boardwalk

To keep in mind

Secure casual berths have a two-night minimum and boardwalk stays a two-night maximum. Confirm berth fit and fuel hours, arrange haul-out elsewhere, and assess westerly swell and afternoon sea-breeze conditions before using the exposed harbour entrance.
