Booker Bay Marina, located in the Central Coast suburb of the same name, is a long-standing, family-run facility that has supported the local boating community since 1938. Set in a calm and sheltered bay, the marina provides a peaceful launch point with a single-lane concrete boat ramp offering access to the beautiful Brisbane Water.

While the ramp is best suited to small and mid-sized trailer boats due to limited room for manoeuvring and parking, it remains a convenient spot for local outings.

It's worth noting that there are no public restrooms or wash-down bays at the ramp itself.

The marina is well protected from rough weather, with berthing available for vessels up to 20 metres long and a maximum draught of 5 metres. Facilities on-site include wet berths, swing moorings, a slipway, and a mechanical workshop, catering to essential maintenance and repairs. Boaters will also find diesel and premium unleaded fuel available, ideal for those preparing for longer trips.

A small but well-stocked chandlery provides everyday marine supplies, and the workshop team handles tasks such as engine servicing, hull cleaning, and minor repairs. Visitors often appreciate the marina’s relaxed, friendly atmosphere and scenic outlook. In the evenings, the well-lit surroundings make the area feel safe and accessible.

Booker Bay Marina is also a popular local spot for grabbing takeaway meals, especially fish and chips, and the nearby wildlife, including seabirds and ducks, adds to the laid-back charm. While it may not have all the amenities of larger marinas, it offers a quieter, more personal experience which is perfect for boaters who value convenience, local knowledge, and a welcoming environment.
