Published profile copy from YouSail’s Supabase catalogue, exported on 16 Sept 2026. Treat operational details as a starting point and confirm them with the marina before relying on them.
About the marina
American River should be described as a working wharf, boat ramp and mooring area, not a full-service marina. Kangaroo Island Council's boating facilities page shows American River has a self-registration station, temporary free launching during the 1 November 2025 to 30 November 2026 algal-bloom recovery program, a mooring pontoon and a nearby wharf. SA.GOV.AU separately lists American River wharf and American River landing platform (Harts jetty) as state-government owned wharves, where ordinary mooring rules apply. No current source verifies permanent visitor marina berths, power, water or fuel as part of this listing.
Berthing & shoreside services
Council lists American River as a maintained boat launching facility with a mooring pontoon and nearby wharf. SA Government wharf permission and four-hour ordinary mooring limits apply to state-owned wharves unless signage or authorised officers say otherwise. No fuel, pump-out, shore power, showers or marina office is verified for this listing.
Local context in YouSail
This is directory context, not navigation advice. Check current charts, notices and official boating resources before passage.
American River is a sheltered Kangaroo Island stop, but the water is a working mooring and ramp area. Follow council ramp rules and state wharf rules separately.
