Great place for morning tea and lunch. Traditional Slipway and Boat Repair. Being a old timber boat builder, I love the place and highly recommend. When the transom down low, And your boat it won't tow, It's a mooring 😀

What can one say a great bunch of blokes and great workmanship. I had our vessel Slipstream for the first time booked in for her slipping including bottom rub and paint along with any osmosis removal and of course prop speed application. Also had the crew strip and revarnish her bulwark capping and refurbishing her portlights along with other general maintenance needed doing. Well with the issues of weather being worked around I could not be happier with the outcome. The crew were extremely professional in their approach to ensuring my needs and that of our girl were met. A great place I know we will be returning to down the track. Well done to Johnno, Jason and all the boys. Leith Lindsay

This mob of people where incredible, we were very well looked after, our boat was on the hard for 6 weeks, super relaxed environment, community focused, kid friendly, very helpful and awesome resources to fix your boat. In todays world these places are rare it’s like meeting old friends, they also run an outdoor education program for young people based at the same premises all the volunteers we met were beautiful people, we have three children of our own and they were welcomed into this space with open arms. What can I say an amazing place to work on your boat we had so much fun we did not want to float our boat 😂, we will be back 😁🙏🏼

Details and costs

Our focus is on maintaining timber full keeled vessels (and many other types of boats) in service to the maritime community. 

For recent updates, check out our facebook site.

We are a small operation with two slipways, and a dedicated crew to look after you. 

We pride ourselves on careful management of your boat, and insist on excellent environmental practices in the yard.

Our prices are very competitive, and DIY boat owners are welcome.

All prices exclude GST

  • Non refundable booking fee of $100 that allows your slipping to be rescheduled once and will be taken off your final bill 
  • Slipping fee per foot (boat length) – total cost for in and out of the water: $12 
  • Daily rate per foot (boat length) per day on the slipway or work pontoon (includes basic amenities, water & electricity): $3
  • Environmental levy includes basic waste disposal/week or event: $60 
  • Water pressure blaster/hr including labour: $180

  • Air compressor: $15 (per hour)
  • Live aboard costs per person per day: $10

Boats up to 40 ton displacement can be supported by the keel on our steel cradles – many owners of old timber boats prefer this method for structural reasons.

The maximum dimensions of monohull vessels we can accommodate is 55ft LOD with a beam of 18ft and approximately 7ft draft (depending on the tides at the time). 

Multihulls with a maximum beam of 26ft can be slipped by the keels or under the wings.

We have a work boat and pontoon available for hire and for mooring maintenance, towing and salvage work.

We also hire out commercial moorings at $50/week for vessels up to 40ft LOD. 

We stock a good range of primers, antifouling, topcoats and other paints, resins, fasteners and anodes etc – please ask us if you would like a quote on any particular materials you need.

Contact us to discuss booking details or other information. We look forward to hearing from you.
