The marina provides all-weather berthing and serves as the chosen berth for Fish Stalker II. If you’re driving from Adelaide center, the journey takes approximately an hour and a half. The marina’s strategic location allows for centralized cruising to and around Kangaroo Island, Eyre Peninsula, and Yorke Peninsula.
