Marina Village Martha Cove is now home to Victoria's newest boat dry-stack facility, marking the completion of stage one at Boatyard Martha Cove by d'Albora.
The new state-of-the-art facility offers fully enclosed storage solutions for vessels up to 35-feet, available all year round.
The stacker joins a range of quality on-site marine services, including full-service maintenance management, refit repair sheds, 70-tonne travel lift, hard stand, work berths and trailer storage.
The boatyard and marina are located within Marina Village Martha Cove, the only masterplanned community on the Mornington Peninsula.
Paul Vernon, national operations manager for d'Albora Marinas, said that the completion of stage one would position the boatyard as the premium vessel and maintenance facility in Victoria.
"We're proud to now be home to the most state-of-the-art boat dry-stack facility in Victoria. This completes stage one of the fully integrated boatyard and marine services we are now able to offer," says Vernon.
Boatyard Martha Cove's dry-stack offers a cost-effective storage solution for boat owners, providing a fully enclosed, clean and secure environment.
The boatyard forms part of Martha Cove's Marine Enterprise Precinct, which also includes the 232-berth Marina Martha Cove - a boutique location for mariners with up to a 99-year berth lease term availability.
The marina is a safe and sheltered harbour, featuring swipe access to marina arms, a 24/7 security system, on-site security staff, fuel dock, public boat ramp and car parking.
Developed by Balmain Group and designed by town architect Karl Fender, of Fender Katsalidis, Marina Village Martha Cove is a 94-hectare waterfront community on the south eastern shores of Port Phillip Bay. It offers bespoke waterfront living, retail experiences and top-of-the-range boatyard and marina services.
The first stage of the project's residential development, a 43-apartment building known as The Moorings, is also complete. A ground floor restaurant, bar and grocer, Martha's Table, is due to open in early spring this year.
