Sydney Harbour welcomes boat storage

Sydney Harbour now has a new boat storage and light maintenance facility with the opening of Sydney Harbour Boat Storage.

Sydney Harbour Boat Storage, located at White Bay 6 next to the new cruise ship passenger terminal, can house boats from 18-36 feet on external or undercover dry stacks. Plus hard stand storage for boats up to 80 feet.

The boat storage facilityplans to alleviate some of the previous boat storage issues for boat owners in an around Sydney. An online booking system will ensure a simple, easy preparation for your day on the water, with a system confirmation, phone call or email ensuring your boat is in the water ready and waiting for your departure. On your return you simply turn off the engines and the rest is taken care of for you.

Asked how many boats the operation can accommodate, Principal of Sydney harbour Boat Storage, Guy Bailey said: "Stage one will have 50 slots. We will commence a further extension shortly culminating in about 150 around the middle of next year.

"We aim to be more of a boutique operation as opposed to the Rozelle Boathouse which will have over 600 vessels," he added.

A range of storage packages will start at $450 per month. A premium storage package is available for those looking for a premium service experience, offering undercover storage, unlimited lifts, priority parking, pre and post launch checks and more.

Sydney Harbour Boat Storage will also offer light maintenance and fuel services and is located next to the new Cruise Ship Passenger Terminal at White Bay in Balmain.

Mr Bailey said that hardstand and outside racks are open now and the dry stack is due to open to coincide with the boat show opening.

Sydney Harbour Boat Storage will be offering a boat show exclusive offer, call by stand 102 at the Sydney International Boat Show for details. For more information go to:
