A working yard, inside a working marina.

Adrian Howells · Owner

Aquarama Slipways has been looking after East Fremantle's boats from inside Aquarama Marina for decades. The yard is set up for craft up to 12 metres, covering everything from a quick antifoul and polish to major fibreglass and timber restoration. Because we sit inside the marina, vessels can come straight off the water, onto the hardstand, and back onto the pen without moving between yards.

FAQ

What size vessels can you slip?

We slip craft up to 12 metres (roughly 40 feet) in length overall. For vessels larger than 12 metres, we carry out work at Fremantle Sailing Club, which is our preferred yard for bigger jobs.

Do you carry out insurance work?

Yes. We handle insurance repairs from quote through to completion, including liaison with your insurer and detailed work reports.

What antifoul systems do you use?

Our preferred antifouling paint is International Micron Extra 2 for superior results in local water, however we are happy to apply any paints supplied by the customer.

Can you colour-match gel-coat and paint?

Yes. We handle gel-coat colour matching for fibreglass repairs, and apply all two-pack topside paint systems, cove lines and boot tops.

Do I need to be a member of the marina already?

No, we service boats from all over - we will arrange a drop off time for you to bring your boat to the marina and we'll take care of the rest.

How long will my boat be out of the water?

Depending on the scope of the work, we always endeavor to have boats back in as soon as possible.
