Careel Bay Marina Environs
Visited: Friday November 8 2024, 8 a.m.
Careel Bay Marina is still under the management of Gordon 'Bluey' and Anne-Marie Woolcott, with a comprehensive repair facility and incline slipway, along with expert tradesman including shipwrights, electricians, marine mechanics, marine painters, cover makers and detailers.
The boatshed is also home to Amy and Matt Young's 'The Studio', not only a place that showcases local Artists and 'puts something back into community' but has quickly become the team to sell or buy your new home through Laing+Simmons Young Property, or, as Matt has knowledge of boats, a boat brokerage service, they can also help you get on the water.
It's also a great place to just sit and enjoy the peace and views while dangling your feet in the water.
