About Bruce's Bend Marina

Discover Bruce's Bend Marina, Nichols Point: Exceptional Boating and Mooring Services

Bruces Bend Marina is located on the Murray River at Nichols Point, 8km from the Mildura, 6 hours from Melbourne and 4 hours from Adelaide.


The Murray River is a haven to Sunraysia’s boating, fishing, hiking, riding, skiing, and camping enthusiasts, set with a rich history. Our river is often referred to as where the Mediterranean meets the outback!


The marina is quietly located within the national park and one of few natural inland marinas, holding beauty and a relationship with the land it sits within.


Our community is home to 60 berths, 10 dry storage sheds, a private slipway, gated community, and public jetty offering fuel, gas, ice, and sewerage pump outs services.


Bruces Bend Marina is locally owned and operated by Paul Dean, Robert Gooch, and Brett Pickering, who combined, hold 100 years of boating experience. The team are committed to providing daily quality servicing and fair pricing. Being ‘boaties’ ourselves, we know there is no better feeling than being on the water. It also means we know what our customers wants and needs, which is why we take so much pride in continuously innovating and improving the marina to bring everyone’s boating experience to the next level.


We provide jetty facilities and all-round service because this is what we want and expect for our own boats. In fact, we see our marina as home for your boat, not just a holding berth.


Our business is passionate, dedicated and committed to providing customer service whilst growing a community that shares their passion, welcomes fun and enjoys tranquillity on and around the water.

For us, no request is too big or small. We work together to deliver a friendly environment and respect for the land that we all share. We are working towards a more sustainable footprint, protecting the marine life, local wildlife and native flora and fauna.


Our customers truly enjoy the convenience of our consolidated services, gated community and storage sheds. Our facilities offer flexibility for long term or short term stays, storage of boats, trailers and jet ski’s, slipway services and private boat ramp.


We pride ourselves as Boat Keepers with meaning.


Come and visit us soon.


Happy and Safe Boating,

Bruce’s Bend Marina Team.
