The first stage of Scarborough Marina's new undercover boat drystack facility is now open for business. This modern facility is located in Scarborough Harbour on the Redcliffe Peninsula, just 40 minutes north of Brisbane central in Southeast Queensland. Boat drystacks are relatively new for Brisbane, and the Scarborough Marina drystack is the first of its kind for the northside of the city. The drystack can accommodate power boats up to 10M in length.

This first stage consists of a multistorey covered rack with room for 97 boats. Stage two will consist of two more racks with a final capacity of 225 boats. Scarborough Marina is a full-service marina with over 230 wet berths, 24 hour fuel, hardstand with 35 tonne Marine Travelift facility, and a range of on-site marine businesses to service the boating public.

Scarborough Harbour is an ideal boating base with easy access to Deception Bay, Moreton Bay, Pumicestone Passage, and the famous wrecks at Tangalooma. There are many other fine anchorages throughout Moreton Bay which provide excellent destinations to enjoy your boating. The harbour is a destination in itself with restaurants, clubs, parks and the nearby Scarborough Village.

Using a boat drystack service can completely transform a person's perspective of boating. It's a perfect complement to our busy modern lifestyles and will save hours of time. More time on the water means more boating enjoyment. Just use our innovative phone app, or call the marina, and your boat will be waiting on the water ready to use. When finished, your boat will be flushed and returned to our secure undercover facility. Single operators, or those with small back yards or living in high rise units, can once again own a boat. No more trailer hassles and awkwardly backing down busy ramps. No more loss of yard space. No need to own a towing vehicle or a trailer.
