Greetings!

If you are planning a trip to Soldiers Point Marina on your vessel and need additional accommodation for family or friends, the marina has purchased a new very stylish apartment, a convenient three minute walk from the marina which is available for short term rental. Please call me on (02) 4982 7445 for further details.

If you have a trailer boat and have no where to store it its worth thinking about our Flagship Undercover Boat Storage facility located only a kilometre from the nearest boat ramp. If you need a hand our friendly marina staff can help you hitch and unhitch your boat and/or also take your boat to the marina ready for you to step on board without any hassles.

We've got an action packed time planned if you are joining us over the holiday season. Once again the New Years Eve fireworks have been arranged for midnight and a perfect spot to enjoy them will be from The Point Restaurant and The Deck Café both offering superb meals and live entertainment.

Hope to see you all soon and happy boating.

MDBS Boat of the Month

 


 

This month we would like to feature "Life of Riley" a 2007 Sea Ray 275 Sundancer. A quality built family cruiser which has been beautifully maintained over its short life. She has been slipped and anti-fouled annually and all service records are available. The boat presents as new and the 300HP Mercruiser engine has a grand total of only 200 hours logged. At only $94,500 this is a great investment and a wonderful way to spend the summer exploring the Port Stephens water way in style and comfort!
