Security Camera

warren — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 05:07:44 +0000

As most of us are aware, with privacy Issues there are for’s and against, in relation to the setting up and Installation of Security devices in and around the Marina.

Currently a Camera has been commissioned to monitor activity of C row ,In which we will be able to monitor the Jet skis. As with the size of these pleasure craft, they are a sought after vessel, for thieves! so the marina therefore see’s it as necessary to have this area monitored, surveillance will occur 24/7, as well as the nightly guard service which will be maintained as per schedule through out the year.

Winter 2011 Update

warren — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 02:18:43 +0000

Hi there to all our boat owners, well the winter chill has set in, these early morning cold temperatures are keeping all our resident fishermen indoors, and alot of our recreational boaters as well.

Things at the Marina have been very quiet with regards to boating activity, the only person that seems to be going out at the moment is the Spinner Jet Boat ride ( 03 9534 9534 ) As the rougher the weather gets the more this boat seems to enjoy it! as for the rest of us its way too cold.

The fishing season is also very quiet at the moment with alot of our regulars not being able to get out due to the bad weather, but for the anglers that have braved the rough conditions, it has been slim pickings.

Remember that” winter maintenance is summer peace of mind” so why not get your boat seviced at the St Kilda Boat Sales and Service centre, or if you are thinking of an update go and see our proffessional brokers at St Kilda Boat Sales (03 9525 5500 ) I’m sure they can do a deal.

After the rain, have you checked the boat.

warren — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 00:08:52 +0000

After all these unprecedented rains that we have been having, have you been down to check on your boat? Bilges should be inspected for water content, making sure that batteries are high and dry and that inboard motors are not in water,also check all your canopies for tears or where water could possibly seep into the boat, are your bilge pumps satisfactorily working.

If your boat is on a hard stand make sure the bung plug is removed ,then done up, to release any water build up that could have occured. check all electricals as well, just because your boat isnt in the water doesnt mean that it will be dry.

Thank you

St Kilda Marina.

Well its that time again, The Melbourne International Boat Show at the docklands which is on from 4th to the 6th of February, why not grab a mate” or just take the family out, for a day’s outing down to the Docklands, and to see what spectacular vessels are on show this year, hope the weather holds and there is plenty of sunshine on those days.

Marker 200 metres from entrance.

warren — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 03:41:58 +0000

To all boat owners please be aware that due to new “No boating zones being done in and around the St Kilda and Port Melbourne forshore areas, that markers have been changed, like now at our entrance we have a marker that says to pass on the south side of it, this marker has 2 cones pointing in a southerly direction. This marker is new and we urge you to take care when leaving and entering the marina, it is visible at night by its flashing lights.

Any queries regarding the new marker should be forwarded to Parks Victoria.
