Cabbage Tree Creek Marina

Cabbage Tree Creek Marina offers a wonderfully local way to enjoy Brisbane’s northern bayside. Set within the sheltered state boat harbour at Deagon, the marina suits smaller cruising yachts, recreational boats and owners who value a compact facility close to established marine trades.

Its location balances convenience and character: the waters of Moreton Bay are only a short run away, while Sandgate village, Shorncliffe’s historic waterfront and rail connections into central Brisbane are all close at hand.

The marina provides a small collection of wet berths with water available at the dock and direct access to the surrounding marine precinct. Nearby Deagon Slipways brings decades of boatbuilding and restoration experience to the creek, while the wider Sandgate and Shorncliffe area supports maintenance, mechanical and chandlery needs.

A public boat ramp serves trailer craft nearby, and the creek is home to a strong community of local sailors, anglers and charter operators. The intimate scale creates a relaxed, owner-focused atmosphere particularly suited to boats using Moreton Bay as their regular cruising ground.

Cabbage Tree Creek opens into Moreton Bay between Sandgate and Shorncliffe. The marked channel provides a short passage from the marina to open bay water, with a mid-tide movement offering an especially comfortable margin for deeper-draft boats.

From the creek, day-sailing options stretch across to Moreton Island and north toward Bribie Island, with southern-bay anchorages and fishing grounds also within easy reach. Ashore, Sandgate supplies cafés, groceries and waterfront dining, while Shorncliffe Pier and the bayside paths make a beautiful place to walk after a day on the water. The result is a marina that feels unmistakably local while remaining exceptionally well connected to Brisbane.
