About
Mackenzie Marine is a Palm Beach shipwright and slipway service at Gonsalves Boatshed, 2/1151 Barrenjoey Road, specialising in repairs and slipway work rather than marina berths.
Mackenzie Marine Pty Ltd operates from Gonsalves Boatshed at Palm Beach and was founded by shipwright Ian Begg. Current operator material verifies the location at 2/1151 Barrenjoey Road, Palm Beach, phone contact and weekday operating hours. Public social material supports shipwright and slipway services at the same address. No source verified marina berths, moorings, fuel, pump-out or travel-lift services, so no marina profile should be created for this haul-out/shipwright business.

Whether looking after our half cab commuter boat or those classic timber beauties, he always took the time to listen and steer us to the best solution. Appreciate your big heart, care, work ethic and skills Ian. Andre and Michelle”
“I've had my Compass 29 slipped and antifouled by Ian and his team for many years. Recently, I required some significant repairs to my rudder and I'm very happy with the work. Mackenzie Marine have always provided me with excellent workmanship and an honest and friendly service.”
Deen Maar (the island and adjacent coastal region off south‑west Victoria) is a small but significant offshore island and coastal protected area offering dramatic cliffs, important seabird and seal habitat, cultural values for Gunditjmara and Eastern Maar Traditional Owners, and a clear contrast between exposed Bass Strait seascape and the comparatively sheltered waters inside the Moyne/Port Fairy approaches. From the water it is best treated as an ecological and cultural landmark rather than a place for casual landings: recreational boating activity is concentrated at Port Fairy, Killarney, Y
