FIND MARINAS REVIEW
Why consider Redcliffe Marina?
Redcliffe Marina is a managed government marina on northern Moreton Bay in Redcliffe, QLD. Redcliffe Marina provides 74 wet berths for vessels recorded up to 15 metres, with berth-holder support and bilge or sullage pump-out in sheltered Scarborough Boat Harbour. That combination gives the listing a clear strength: it serves a recognisable boating need in its own waterway. For anyone comparing marinas in QLD, that specificity matters because location, access and facility type can be as important as an amenities list.
The YouSail record identifies 74 wet berths, a recorded maximum vessel length of 15 m, Moreton Bay, managed berths, bilge/sullage pump-out, berth-holder services, Moreton Bay access. These details make Redcliffe Marina especially relevant to northern Moreton Bay owners seeking a practical managed home berth. The principal attractions are wet berths, pump-out and government-managed marina services. Together they create a base for routine ownership, a planned stop or a particular itinerary, subject to current access rules and availability.
The setting is central to the choice. Redcliffe Marina connects crews with Moreton Bay, while Redcliffe provides the shore-side context for provisioning, transport and time away from the boat. The waterway, vessel fit, operator terms and nearby services should be assessed together. Owners who value managed government marina on northern Moreton Bay will see the strongest fit here.
Our classification starts with the structured YouSail marina database and is checked against the operator or responsible authority sources retained for the profile. We position the listing most strongly for managed government marina on northern Moreton Bay, Moreton Bay access and the qualities those sources support. Unverified amenities are not presented as available, and nearby businesses are not turned into on-site facilities. This produces a clearer comparison and precise questions for the operator.
Before committing: Depths are modest and liveaboard rules are controlled. Confirm berth availability, draft, pump-out procedures and the precise Scarborough Harbour entrance. Availability, prices, depth, navigation information and operating conditions can change, so use this profile to build a shortlist rather than replace direct confirmation. With those checks complete, Redcliffe Marina is a positive and distinctive option for boaters whose priorities match its evidenced strengths.
LOCATION & WATERWAY
Redcliffe Marina location and waterway
Redcliffe Marina is listed by YouSail in Redcliffe, QLD, in the Moreton Bay region, on Moreton Bay. This helps you place it on a shortlist, but it does not confirm a suitable berth or a safe approach for your vessel.

SERVICES
What the marina offers
Services at Redcliffe Marina reflect its role as a managed government marina on northern Moreton Bay. The YouSail record highlights managed berths, bilge/sullage pump-out, berth-holder services, Moreton Bay access, pump_out. These recorded capabilities give the listing practical value; anything absent remains a question for the operator rather than an assumed inclusion.
For a berth, mooring, storage or yard enquiry, provide overall length, beam, loaded draft, hull type, insurance details, preferred dates and intended use. Ask which utilities are supplied at the exact space, how access is controlled, where loading and parking are permitted, and whether fuel, waste, pump-out, showers, laundry, lifting or repairs are on site, nearby or unavailable. This distinction matters at public harbours, clubs and working precincts.
Current availability and charges are deliberately not inferred from older listings. Contact Redcliffe Marina or the responsible authority for confirmed space, present terms and arrival procedures. YouSail’s retained source links provide the best starting point and help separate verified marina services from the broader attractions of Redcliffe. Confirm every service needed before departure, particularly where access depends on tide, staff availability, permission, a lock, tender or prior booking.

Berthing and marina services
Services are basic, transparent and priced by the metre. The 74 floating berths are stern-to pens taking vessels to 15 metres and, at a surcharge, beyond; every berth has power and water, with wi-fi, toilets and an electronic security gate, for which access tags carry a $25 refundable deposit. A bilge and sullage pump-out service is available to berth holders. The published schedule (which includes GST) starts a 10-metre monohull at $595 per month or $5,650 per year, rising to $880 per month or $7,000 annually for 15 metres, with multihulls over five metres of beam charged roughly half as much again. Berth applications do not confer liveaboard rights: living aboard requires a separate approval, numbers are limited, and the charges are deliberately light, $60 a week for a single or $80 for a couple, and $220 to $280 per calendar month, with the first days complimentary. Casual berthing exists but is constrained by low vacancy. Depth in the marina is under two metres at low water, manoeuvring room is rated tight, and tidal flow through the harbour arm demands attention when berthing. There is no fuel wharf, travel lift, hardstand or chandlery within the TMR marina; those needs are met next door at the private Scarborough Marina, which runs a 35-tonne travel lift, a Wiggins forklift, hardstand and drystack launching for power boats to 10 metres plus tenant marine trades. The marina manager is reachable by mobile for berth enquiries, and berth layout and navigation plans are published on the department's site.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Planning a visit to Moreton Bay
Scarborough Boat Harbour is the most protected all-weather harbour on the northern Moreton Bay shore, and the cruising ground at its doorstep explains the waiting lists. Moreton Island's western anchorages, the Tangalooma wrecks and the Big Sandhills lie a comfortable day sail across the bay; northward, the leads into Pumicestone Passage open the sheltered run to Caloundra; and the bay's island-fringed waters hold mackerel, snapper and whiting, with humpback whales passing through from June to November. Inside the harbour the quirks are practical: depths are modest, so deeper keelboats work the tides, and the marina's low-water depths of under two metres rule out big draughts. Ashore, the Redcliffe Peninsula operates as a self-contained seaside town. Scarborough's cafes and takeaway strip front the harbour, the Sunday markets fill Redcliffe Parade, Suttons Beach and the Settlement Cove lagoon handle swimming days, and the Bee Gees Way display on the foreshore marks the suburb where the Gibb brothers signed their first contract. Supplies, marine hardware and public transport are all close, with Brisbane's CBD about 35 kilometres away by road or reachable by bus and the Redcliffe Peninsula rail line, and whale-watching boats work the bay from the harbour in season. Local history runs deep for those interested: the 1824 convict settlement at Redcliffe was Queensland's first European foothold before it shifted to the Brisbane River the following year. For berth holders the appeal is simple arithmetic: government-scale fees, an honest pump-out, a quiet liveaboard policy and a bay full of weekend destinations.
