“Using Cockatoo Boat Storage makes boating so much more enjoyable”
“Such a great spot to safely berth your boat. Very protected, safe, and absolutely lovely staff, always willing to accommodate. Highly recommend!”
“I was only here as a tourist to see the island but it was nice to see the boats.”
“Great rates and great people. Never had any issues and the team are always super helpful.”
“We had our boat stored here for 3 years until we sold it. It was our first boat and the staff could not have been more helpful. From organising any work that needed to be done eg anti-fouling & mechanical to putting us in touch with someone to provide lessons - we were seriously brand new to boating. The services provided made everything so easy from pick up/drop offs to hosing the boat down and flushing the engine after each run. We will definitely be back when we buy a new boat”
Dangar Island sits in the lower Hawkesbury River close to Brooklyn and is one of Sydney’s small, boat‑access communities. From the water it reads as a wooded, low island with sandy foreshore, a public jetty and private moorings; its position at the mouth of Cowan Creek and close to the main river channel makes it an attractive short‑cruise destination for trailer sailors, runabouts and small cruisers but also one that requires careful local knowledge and respect for resident berths, ferry operations and tidal currents.
Plan passages across Spencer Gulf or to Kangaroo Island by basing fuel on your boat’s actual consumption plus a generous reserve, choosing sensible staging/stop options that match your boat and crew, and prioritising shelter and weather windows (gale fronts, strong winds and tidal streams can make the gulf uncomfortable or unsafe). Confirm fuel availability, safe anchorages or marinas on your route, and check up-to-date local weather, tide and navigation information before you go.

Late spring to summer is usually the best time for beginners to start learning to sail in Tasmania because the weather is generally warmer, days are longer and conditions are often more settled. Expect lighter to moderate winds with regular afternoon sea breees in summer, while spring and autumn bring more changeable and sometimes stronger conditions; winter is colder, wetter and typically windier with more fronts and swell.
