TROPICAL FAR NORTH QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA 

 

Berths & Boatyard

 

 

 Marina: Our 24 berth marina is designed to cater for short term and casual occupancy. The berths range from 8 metres to 12 metres. Larger vessels may be accommodated if booked well in advance. Electricity and water services are available to each berth. Daily and weekly rates are available in advance and are based on the length of the boat.

 

 Pile Moorings: The squadron has 19 pile moorings available for short and long term rental. The moorings are located about half a kilometre upstream and must be accessed by dinghy or tender. Because large boats can be accommodated on these moorings they tend to be very popular. If you are interested in renting a mooring, contact the yard office for details on availability.

 

 Showers and Toilet Facilities: These are located in both the yard office block, and the main clubhouse.

 

 Laundry: Coin operated washing machines and dryers are available in the yard office block. Wash troughs, sinks, and ironing boards are also provided.

 

 Bottled Gas: A filling service is available, however staff will refuse to fill outdated bottles.

 

 Ice: Block and crushed ice is available from the bar.

 

 Fuel: The squadron does not have a fuelling facility, however local contractors are happy to deliver bulk fuel. Please enquire at yard office. There is a service station only a short walk from the Squadron, with both outboard fuel and diesel, where jerry cans can be filled.

 

 Rubbish: Boat owners in marina work berths, carrying out major repairs are expected to dispose of their own rubbish, and keep their bay tidy at all times.

 

Long Term Storage; If an owner does not wish to use their boat for some months, storage bays are available. No work is to be carried out on the vessel whilst it is in long term storage, and no residency on board is permitted during this arrangement".

Boatyard

Travel Lift: The squadron operates a 40 tonne travel lift with a capacity to lift boats up to 16 feet wide. Travel lift fees are based on the length of the boat, and whether the boat owner is a member or not. Members rates do not apply to commercial vessels. On haul-out, a water blaster and hull scraping tools are available for your use.

 

Hardstand Work Bays: The work yard provides a large number of work bays, where work can be carried out. Each bay is provided with power, water, rubbish bin, and cyclone tie-down points. Rates and conditions can be obtained from the yard office.

 

Long Term Storage: If an owner doesn't wish to use their boat for three months of more, long term storage bays are available. The owner must be a member and no work can be carried out whilst the boat is in the long term storage area.

 

Trailerable Boats: We also provide a storage area for trailerable boats. The squadron regards any boat which is capable of being registered to travel by road, as a trailerable boat, and can be stored in this area. Again, due to space available, this storage area is limited to members. The squadron has an excellent all weather ramp for boat launching and recovery.
