Keep exploring
Keppel Bay Marina welcomes crews to the sparkling waters of Rosslyn Bay, right at the doorstep of Great Keppel Island and the Capricorn Coast. Waterfront dining, a chandlery and a boatyard add to its easy all-in-one appeal, whether you are visiting overnight or making a longer stop.
Every berth has water and power, complemented by showers, laundry facilities, parking, waste and recycling services, marina support and a courtesy car for local provisioning or exploring. Fuel is conveniently available at the nearby Rosslyn Bay wharf, and gas-bottle refills are available through the marina office.
From Rosslyn Bay, the islands and anchorages of Keppel Bay are within easy reach, while Yeppoon’s beaches, cafés and coastal character are close ashore. It is an ideal base for crews looking to combine island sailing with a relaxed mainland stop.

A practical cruising guide to Keppel Bay (QLD) covering geography, winds, anchorages, marinas, hazards, regulations, suggested cruises and who the area suits. Emphasis on Rosslyn Bay / Keppel Bay Marina as the main gateway, the cluster of islands including Great Keppel and North Keppel, public moorings and national park restrictions, and seasonal sailing character for sheltered versus exposed waters.
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.

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.
