Pelican's Slipways, Redland Bay, QLD

This slipway is something of a historical landmark in the Redlands. It has been operating as a slipway since 1949. It has only seen four owners during all those years. Keith and Ann Davis are the current owners/operators of the yard and are responsible for the designing and building of the cradles used to slip the wide variety of boats that use these facilities. The yard is a friendly, comfortable environment which employs several full time boat builders. Most of the specialist trades such as engineering, sign writing etc are available by subcontractors who are employed on demand. We prefer fit out work and timber work but are equally proficient in fibreglass work. Maintenance work such as antifouling, topside repaints, polishing etc are areas we excel in. We do allow owners to do their own work but we are unable to accommodate boats for periods longer than 2-3 weeks. We do not allow owners to spray paint or sand blast their boats and all sanders must be able to capture their dust. Our store carries Altex Antifouling and paint (other brands are available on order), fastening, timber, anodes, and most of the other items required to maintain your boat. We also lay and service permanent moorings in the southern area of the bay.
