Local Knowledge - Trusted Advice - Proven Experience

At Barney’s Marine, we’ve spent over three decades helping boaties across the Fraser Coast get the most out of their time on the water. Based in Hervey Bay and proudly family-owned, we combine hands-on marine expertise with a genuine commitment to service, community, and quality.

We’re not just here to sell boats — we’re qualified technicians, passionate boaties, and long-time locals who understand what matters on the water: reliability, performance, safety, and support you can count on.

Whether you’re buying your first boat, repowering your pride and joy, or looking for dependable servicing and advice, our team is here to help. We back every recommendation with real-world experience, offer personalised service, and stock only the brands we trust ourselves.

Our reputation is built on long-term relationships, honest advice, and doing the job right — the first time. That’s why we’re one of Australia’s top 10 Suzuki Marine dealers and the go-to choice for boaters right across the Wide Bay region.

Our Vision

To inspire unforgettable adventures on, in, and around our waterways—helping those we serve create lifelong memories with family and friends.

What Drives Us

We deliver top-quality products and reliable service—with honesty, transparency, and efficiency—while building lasting relationships and supporting our customers through every step of their boating journey and beyond.

We do this through five key commitments:

Inspiration
We help you get on the water—whether it's your first tinny or your dream offshore rig—so you can create epic memories with the people who matter most.

Education
We equip our customers with the right gear, the right knowledge, and the confidence to boat safely, sustainably, and enjoyably. We lead by example, promote low-impact boating, and work with schools, clubs, and community groups to champion responsible boating.

Accessibility – The Bay’s Boating Hub
From a bung to a boat, we’ve got you covered. We make it easy and enjoyable to get everything you need for a great day on the water—new boats, outboards, electronics, accessories, servicing, and more.

Excellence
Our team takes pride in delivering award-winning service. Every customer, every visit, every job—we aim to make it a positive experience with high-quality outcomes you can rely on.

Partnership
Buying a boat is a big investment—and finding a service centre you trust is just as important. We’ll work with you to understand your needs, protect your investment, and tailor our service to suit you.
