Sanctuary Cove is creating a further 31 new berths.
Sanctuary Cove marina, home to Australia’s Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS), is undertaking a further expansion of its berthing capacity for superyachts. An investment of A$3.5m is to be made in its Pier C development which will see 31 new berths, boosting its superyacht berth number to 39 in total.
The investment follows an earlier A$10m spend completed in June 2021 which added 61 berths to the marina and also saw the introduction of innovative undercover berths fitted by Superior Jetties. The marina offers 303 berths for yachts from 3.7m-50m (12ft-164ft).
The new investment and additional superyacht berths reflect the status of southeast Queensland as an expanding yachting hub, particularly for the growing number of domestically owned superyachts.
Located on the Gold Coast south of Brisbane, Sanctuary Cove marina nestles between Australia’s key cruising regions in the Great Barrier Reef and Sydney. Government support for the superyacht industry and significant facility expansion has made the Gold Coast an ideal destination for yachts to be based or to visit for repair or refit work.
Sanctuary Cove marina is part of the wider A$2bn Sanctuary Cove resort, a luxury venue that includes a lagoon style beach club, golf course, and country club. It has Platinum Gold Anchor accreditation and is one of seven marinas to recently receive its ‘Superyacht Ready’ accreditation from the Marina Industries Association.
