GPC's Gladstone Marina offers the boating fraternity a first class base from which to cruise the Capricorn and Bunker Reef Groups of the Great Barrier Reef waters. The Reef, situated 50km off Gladstone, contains 13 vegetated coral cays including Heron, Masthead, North West, Wilson, Lady Musgrave and Lady Elliot Islands.

Situated Lat 23° 50', Long 151° 15', the Gladstone Marina has been constructed to Pacific Marina’s design standards, the same standards responsible for the installation of over 4,000 marina berths Australia-wide.

The floating marina system utilises concrete encased styrene pontoons and allows generous mooring and manoeuvring space with each pen area.

The combination of the sheltered waters of Port Curtis, the marina basin and marina pen design allows for safe mooring even during inclement weather.

Each berth has access to 240V power supply and fresh water. Other great facilities include shower & toilet blocks, telephones, free barbeques, playground equipment, landscaped gardens and walking tracks.

As of early December 2011 we have introduced a three week maximum stay. This ruling has been implemented due to the facilities almost reaching maximum capacity. This will ensure the Marina has the capability to accommodate vessels in transit and emergency situations.

From 1 July 2012 any vessel utilising GPC's Marina facilities will be required to supply a copy of their Comprehensive Insurance to the Marina Office. This insurance must also include Environmental Damage Cover. A copy of valid insurance must be presented to the Marina Office by 1 July 2012.

Gladstone provides a choice of three entrance channels, eliminating backtracking:

 south – via the main shipping channels to Round Hill, Pancake Creek and southern ports;
 north – via the North Channel past South End Entrance to Reef Islands and Cape Capricorn; and
 north-west – via the Narrows to Roslyn Bay, Keppel Islands and northwards. The Narrows Channel is navigable by working the tides to suit vessel drafts.

Idyllic cruising and unspoilt scenery is backed by the promise of:

 close inshore coral reefs and clear waters;
 beautiful coral islands, cays and lagoons;
 unspoilt coastal beaches and resorts;
 fine year-round weather averaging eight hours of sunshine daily;
 numerous National Parks featuring uniquely different flora and fauna including nesting turtles and seabirds;
 rewarding fishing and diving, with over 1,000 species of fish and marine life present; and
 interesting mangrove wetlands – home of the Gladstone mudcrab.
