Are you one of the lucky ones that gets to berth at Newport Marina? Located within a residential estate, it gets additional protection from the weather and is a beautiful spot.

We service vessels here, whether you're here for the day or longer, give us a yell.

🚤 TOP 10 SAFETY TIPS FOR BOATING 🌊

Whether you’re heading out for a quick cruise, a fishing trip or a weekend on the water, a little preparation can make a BIG difference.

🦺 1. Wear a life jacket
Make sure everyone onboard has a correctly fitted PFD and knows where they are.

📱 2. Carry a reliable way to call for help
Keep your phone protected from water and carry the appropriate marine communication equipment for your trip.

⛽ 3. Check your fuel
Don’t just plan for the trip out, make sure you have enough fuel to get back, with a reserve.

🌦️ 4. Check the weather
Conditions can change quickly. Check the forecast before you leave and keep an eye on it while you’re out.

🔦 5. Carry the right safety gear
Flares, torch, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, anchor and other required equipment should be onboard and in good working order.

🧭 6. Know where you’re going
Have a navigation plan and make sure your charts/GPS are up to date.

👀 7. Keep a proper lookout
Stay alert for other boats, swimmers, rocks, markers and changing conditions.

🍺 8. Never drink and drive
Alcohol and boating don’t mix. Stay sober and make responsible decisions on the water.

🔧 9. Give your boat a pre-trip check
Check the engine, battery, bilge, steering, lights and safety equipment before leaving the marina.

📣 10. Tell someone your plans
Let someone know where you’re going, when you expect to return and what boat you’re travelling in.

🌊 BONUS TIP: Keep your hull clean! A fouled hull can reduce performance and fuel efficiency, and nobody wants to spend more time at the fuel dock than on the water! 😉

🚤 Staying on a boat for Census night?

Census night is Tuesday 11 August 2026 — and it's compulsory for everyone in Australia, including anyone staying on a moored or anchored houseboat, yacht or motorboat.

✅ Complete it online at census.abs.gov.au
✅ Select "Enter address manually" and fill in the suburb, state and postcode for where you currently are
✅ At a marina? Include your mooring or berth number, and add the marina name to the Property/Building field
✅ On a waterway, not at a marina? Enter "On a boat" + the waterway name (e.g. "On a boat in Brisbane River") — include lat/long if you know it
