Way too often we see "Free"  Berthing, Antifouling, Moorings, etc. Unfortunately we all know that nothing is really "Free".

We offer good old fashioned "Service" with the same good old fashioned "Prices". At prices up to 50% less than Sydney Harbour it's worth making the trip up and combining some cruising and exploring in Broken Bay and the Hawkesbury River.

• Once we have discussed exactly what you require, in most cases, we can offer fixed pricing - though it is impossible to give a finite quote, without knowing what additional work may need doing, until that boat is out of the water.
• Our quote formalizes our initial discussion. We email to you our written quotation for the extent of works as requested by you. Your booking is confirmed only when we receive your approval; we cannot commence any work without receiving your approval.
• We encourage owners to come down to the Marina on the day of the haul out and we can inspect your boat together. Taking an active interest in the underwater section of your boat also provides you with an invaluable insight into the condition of your hull.

We pride ourselves on supplying high quality services at affordable rates.
If you happen to find a cheaper price for the same scope of work, do not hesitate to share it with us, as our intention is to beat it.
We are committed to your satisfaction.

Variations to Quote

• From time to time, unexpected issues may arise and need attention, which can only be identified when your boat is out of the water. Even with the best efforts of the owner and the Marina, situations can arise that require extra labour or materials.
• In this event, you will be contacted and invited down to the Marina to discuss and decide for yourself the necessity of our recommendations. If you are unable to visit in person, an accurate quote can be provided over the telephone for your approval.
• In no circumstance will we proceed with any activity outside the original quote, no matter how necessary, without your express consent.

To assist those customers with busy schedules, who may not be able to take the time off to deliver and collect their boat, we offer a Pick Up service from her permanent place of abode and Delivery back again.

Towing involves the use of the workboat plus any other equipment. Drive or Tow, with Assistance or not, we are fully equipped to perform short or long-distance tow or drive jobs as required.

Killcare Marina are independent boat insurance agents for the two leading and most respected marine insurance companies in Australia (Nautilus Marine and Club Marine).

Waterways can be treacherous at times and accidents inevitably happen – minor boating accidents are not uncommon, but can be costly, so finding the right insurance cover for your boat is a smart way to protect your investment.

• As agents for these two insurance companies the dedicated team at the Marina can arrange your boat insurance cover at very competitive rates.
• If you are intending on getting your boat insured or would like us to do comparative quotes at the time of renewal please contact us.

Stern Drive manufacturers recommend inspection and servicing at 6 month intervals. It may sound like overkill, however we highly recommend that you adhere to the manufacturer's advice.

We often see families and friends arrive at the Marina on the weekend all in good spirits, eskies full of ice, bags full of picnic items, ready for a day out on the water. It is amazing how often the owners who neglect their stern drive servicing have to abort the excursion because the leg overheats and fails, or propellers are fouled and the boat simply won't move, and suffer the embarrassment in front of family and friends.

Boat trailers are often neglected. Trailers require regular maintenance and repair - frame, brakes, tow fittings, lighting, wheel bearings, rollers, winches... etc... We can do this for you.

Towing involves the use of the workboat plus any other equipment. Drive or Tow, with Assistance or not, we are fully equipped to perform short or long-distance tow jobs as required.
