The centre focuses on Whittley fibreglass trailerable boats across the company’s model ranges (Sea Legend, Sports Cruiser, Fish Finder and Aluminium series). It offers factory-supplied boat packages that combine hull, engine and trailer, and provides accessories and spare parts for those boats.
A factory-authorised service division operates from the Melbourne facility and across the national network. Services described include engine and trailer maintenance, factory-trained servicing for Whittley-fitted Honda outboards and Volvo Penta sterndrives, repower options and pre-delivery water testing. A dedicated spare parts warehouse supports parts and replacement component requests, and owners can book service appointments through the Whittley service channels.
The Melbourne factory handles hull lamination, assembly, upholstery, motor fit-out, trailer integration and final quality inspection. This capability underpins new-boat construction, customisation and structural repairs carried out within the Whittley production and service workflow.

“Had nothing but problems with my sl20 Simrad Trailer Boat anchor Anchor chain Anchor mild steel attachment Nearly lost my extra 3 warranty on the motor Once you pay life becomes very difficult Even handover was pathetic Better dealers our there”
“Epic experience from start to finish! I recently purchased my Whittley boat and the entire process was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment I met them at the boat show, they made everything easy, clear, and genuinely enjoyable. Alan's knowledge of boats, attention to detail and patience in answering all my questions gave me total confidence in my purchase. The handover process was especially impressive. Alan took the time to walk me through every feature, making sure I felt comfortable and ready to get out on the water. It was thorough, professional and delivered with a level of care you just don’t see every day. Absolutely thrilled with my Whittley and the service I received. Huge thanks to Alan for making it such an epic experience. Highly recommend!”

Apollo Bay is a small working harbour on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road where sheltered inshore sailing meets the Southern Ocean. The character is a mix of protected harbour berths and an exposed open coast: pleasant day-sails and sheltered weekend cruising inside the bay, with demanding coastal passages immediately offshore where south‑westerly swell and strong winds from the Southern Ocean dominate. It suits coastal cruisers, trailer sailors who launch at the ramp, and experienced coastal sailors who understand bar and swell behaviour; it is not a casual open‑ocean anchorage for unprepared or

Legal safety equipment for recreational boats in South Australia depends on the type, size and where you operate; you must check the current SA government requirements for your vessel.
