on the Australian Marinas Guide

Australian Marinas Guide is committed to providing accurate, up to date information on every marina in Australia.  We specialise in boating lifestyles, and we know the business well, both from an Editorial perspective, as well as being active boaties ourselves.  We regularly visit marinas in order to stay informed of developments and changes.

We’ve travelled the waterways of Australia researching marinas and safe harbours, resulting in this directory of approximately 300 marinas.  Every single one of theses marinas (and even some safe harbours where conventional marinas don’t exist) is already included in The Guide at no cost to marina operators. 

The Guide incorporates the latest advances in internet technology.  Interactive maps enable mariners to zoom in on an aerial view of their chosen marina and adjacent waterways. Street View links on every marina map entry provide a 360 degree image from the marker position.But, because boat owners tend to embrace  the whole waterfront lifestyle, even when they’re not actually onboard, we’ve also included comprehensive lifestyle, passage making and destination information. 

Whether boaties intend to seek temporary refuge for one night, or wish to purchase or lease a berth for the long term, The Guide is likely to become the boaties’ first port of call.  We aim to list every Australian marina.  To ensure we include every marina in Australia, we offer a Free Basic Listing to every marina operator.  With the successful launch of The Guide in August 2008, why not take advantage of the low introductory prices to upgrade your listing?

“Australian Marinas.  Every Single One of Them.”

Advertising Options
Banner advertising on The Guide is a great vehicle for reaching a broad cross section of the highly sought after demographic of affluent boaties with high disposable incomes.  The Guide targets high net worth and affluent Australians with above average incomes who aspire to a quality lifestyle. Constantly seeking the most from life and at the forefront of trends and style, our target market invest heavily in updating and enhancing their boating lifestyles.

Wanting to target a specific demographic? Ads can be coded to display when readers search by state or region, allowing the Advertiser to direct your message at your target audience, maximising exposure to your key prospects.  A dedicated advertising campaign on The Guide will build up audience reach, allowing your message to be seen by the largest possible number of your potential customers.

Being a new website still under development, visitor statistics cannot be currently offered, other than to acknowledge a 500% increase in visitor traffic in the first two weeks of The Guides' operation.  Strategic direct marketing campaigns will take place as the site evolves and more content is loaded.  This new boating lifestyle venture opens new opportunities and we welcome you onboard this exciting concept.  AMG is offering initial 12 month advertising packages, which will be reviewed after our first 12 months of operation.
