Supporting Queensland’s Boating Community with Reliable Marine Expertise
Tin Can Bay Slipways is a fully insured boat maintenance and repair facility located on Snapper Creek in Tin Can Bay, Queensland — positioned alongside the region’s commercial fishing fleet. Operating from 3,388m² of leasehold waterfront industrial land (secured until 2035), our facility is purpose-built to handle both commercial and recreational vessels. With two steel slipway cradles on rails, jetty access for two vessels, workshop bays, industrial equipment and two & three phase power, we are equipped for serious marine work. We service fishing vessels, yachts, houseboats, power craft and multihulls — providing everything from routine maintenance to complete refits and structural repairs. Our goal is simple: To keep vessels safe, compliant and performing at their best on Queensland waters.
