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 these marinas (and even some safe harbours where conventional marinas don’t exist) are included in The Guide at no cost to marina operators.
The Guide incorporates the latest advances in internet technology and search engine optimisation. Interactive maps enable mariners to zoom in on an aerial view of their chosen marina and adjacent waterways. Street View links on (almost) 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 fast becoming the boaties’ first port of call. To ensure we include every marina in Australia, we offer a Free Basic Listing to every marina operator, drystack, mooring facility, fish co-op and yacht club with berthing facilities.
With the successful launch of The Australian Marinas Guide in August 2008, why not take advantage of the following special to upgrade your marina listing? Analysis of site traffic indicates that the Marina Listings and Maps pages attract the most traffic, indicating that site visitors use the site to find out about marinas, their facilities and their location. Marina operators with an upgraded listing have the opportunity to promote the attributes of their marina facilities and services, thereby driving boating traffic and/or new members to their marina or club.
