Patterson Lakes Marina, marina in Australia
Patterson Lakes Marina is a boat facility located on Patterson River near Port Phillip Bay in the suburbs south of Melbourne. It offers approximately 300 wet berths for vessels up to 55 feet, a concrete dry storage building holding about 270 boats up to 30 feet, launching ramps, a fuel dock, and repair and maintenance services.
The marina traces its roots to the 1960s when the Priestley family began using the Patterson River land and built early boat storage under simple structures. Robert Jackson later developed it into a modern facility with launching ramps and land storage before it was sold in 1988 and renamed Patterson Lakes Marina in 1994.
The name Patterson Lakes refers to the geographic location where the marina sits on Patterson River in the same-named suburb. This is a gathering place where the local boating community shares a lifestyle centered on the water and vessels.
The marina is easily accessible by car about 30 minutes from central Melbourne, with parking and on-site dining options available. A 24-hour launching ramp allows boats to enter and exit the water at any time, and an app-based system simplifies the booking process.
The marina features a specialized dry storage crane system that can lift boats weighing up to 4.5 tons in and out of the water within minutes. This saves time and reduces waiting periods for boat owners wanting quick access to the water.
