About
Daz Marine combines a Melbourne installation workshop with an Australia-wide online store, and its speciality is serious fish-finding equipment. Darren Buttigieg brings decades of fishing experience to sounder and transducer selection, setup and tuition, with Airmar transducers configured for Garmin, Simrad, Lowrance, Furuno, Raymarine and Humminbird systems.
Service area: Airport West, VIC
Daz Marine is built around getting fishing electronics matched to the boat and the way its owner actually fishes. From Airport West, Darren Buttigieg supplies equipment, completes Melbourne-area fit-outs and offers mobile work for boats that cannot easily come to the shop.
The online store has an unusually deep transducer range, including Airmar transom, through-hull, in-hull, pocket and keel-mount options from 600W to serious 1kW, 2kW and 3kW CHIRP systems. It also carries Savwinch drum winches and anchoring accessories, underwater LED lighting, deckwash equipment and outriggers.
Transducers are offered for Garmin, Simrad, Lowrance, Furuno, Raymarine and Humminbird sounders. Daz Marine pairs supply and installation with sounder setup, fine-tuning and user tuition—valuable when the hardware is only as good as its configuration.
You want to choose a transducer for a specific hull, deadrise and fishing depth, need a complete sounder installation, or prefer expert setup and after-sales help rather than buying a box online and guessing.

Bermagui is a compact south‑coast fishing port and coastal village on New South Wales’ Sapphire Coast. It’s best known to sailors for its working harbour, access to productive offshore grounds and a reachable string of sheltered bays and beaches. The sailing here mixes short coastal passages, inshore cruising and sheltered daysails rather than long ocean passages; it suits trailer‑able keelboats, motor cruisers and small offshore yachts. Expect a destination where commercial fishing activity and changing swell patterns shape anchorages and arrival choices — preparation and local knowledge pay.
Yes — South Australian coastal waters include marine parks, aquatic reserves, harbour bylaws and local council restrictions that can affect anchoring, fishing, mooring and access; check the relevant state agencies, local councils and Notices to Mariners for location-specific rules and permit requirements.
