The marina provides fresh water, electricity, Wi-Fi, and fuel on site, along with showers, laundry, and a convenience store.

How to get there
Approaching from Port Phillip Bay, look for the distinctive control tower that marks the marina entrance. Lit channel markers guide the way in, and caution is advised during low tide when depths are reduced. Maintain a slow speed inside the marina, observe all signage, and give way to outgoing vessels.
The entrance is generally safe in calm conditions for most of the year. By land, the marina is at 42B Marine Parade, St Kilda, easily reached by road from central Melbourne. Public transport and nearby parking serve the area, and the marina office can be contacted by VHF for berthing instructions.
