We are located at Marieville Esplanade, Sandy Bay, an inner city suburb of Hobart Tasmania, on the shores of the Derwent River estuary.

The Derwent River is an ideal location for all types of boating activities, particularly yacht racing and has been the venue for National and International events.
In addition it is the ideal starting point to explore the hundreds of nautical miles of sheltered waterways of the Derwent River,
D’ Entrecasteaux Channel, Fredrick Henry Bay, Wedge Bay and Safety Cove, all of which are within a day’s leisurely cruising from our marina.

From Fredrick Henry Bay the magnificent Tasmanian East Coast is accessible via the Dunalley Canal.
For the more experienced, the World Class natural wilderness of Port Davey and Bathurst Harbour provides an excellent extended cruise.
