Project overview

The Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron (RMYS) at St Kilda Harbour, Melbourne, has a 140-year history. In February 2013 the club contracted Bellingham Marine Australia to build a new 250-berth floating marina to replace its dilapidated timber marina; it opened on 2 February 2014.

  • 250 berths for boats from 10 m to 23 m, connected by more than 1 km of floating concrete walkways.
  • A new Bellingham Marine Australia wave attenuator, alongside breakwater extensions by Fitzgerald Constructions.
  • The result of more than ten years of work with state and local agencies on a safer boating harbour.
