Off the water, DSS runs a marina with casual berth bookings, a slipyard (open weekdays, emergencies only on weekends), a fuel facility, and The Moorings Restaurant & Bar, plus function and conference spaces. Its Sailtrain program covers the MAST motor boat licence, [marine radio (VHF)](/guides/how-to-use-vhf-marine-radio-in-australia), Safety and Sea Survival and Start Crewing courses. Membership options include a SailPass for people who want to get out on the water without owning a boat.
