Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is one of Australia’s most active marine and luxury coastal destinations, known for beaches, canals, marinas, shipyards, high-rise waterfront living, sport fishing and access to Queensland cruising. It is particularly relevant to yachts because of its marine industry infrastructure and proximity to the wider east coast cruising route.

The area combines a leisure destination with practical yacht support. Southport, Main Beach, the Broadwater and nearby Coomera marine precincts are important for berthing, maintenance, refit and yacht services. Guests can enjoy beaches, restaurants, theme parks, hinterland scenery, golf, private homes and waterfront resort life.

The Gold Coast is less remote than the Whitsundays or Great Barrier Reef and more urban than many Australian cruising areas. Its strength is a combination of lifestyle, service infrastructure and access to Queensland’s cruising grounds.
