9 Best Marinas for Liveaboards on the Gold Coast

Move over #vanlife, ’cause given the rise of sailing channels like Sailing La Vagabonde over the years, #boatlife is here to stay. As a result, thousands of people are on YachtHub daily looking at the cost of a boat.

As an Australian, there is no greater place to become a liveaboard than the Gold Coast. Balmy summer days and mild waters make it the perfect spot, and it’s little wonder why I lived there for 4 years right across from the Southport Yacht Club.

I recently did some research to find some marinas on the Gold Coast that allow liveaboards, either short-term or long-term. And while you can stay on an anchorage for 7 days, sometimes you might want to stay longer to ride out an approaching storm front, restock your boat or do some necessary repairs. Or work directly from your boat!

Either way, I’ve got you covered. Here are 9 highly recommended liveaboard marinas on the Gold Coast:

1. Mariner’s Cove Marina (Main Beach)

My #1 best pick is always Mariner’s Cove Marina. Its location means you’ll have access to grocery stores, boutiques and public transport links. If you fancy catching some waves in the morning, then Main Beach and Narrowneck serves up an incredible 2-foot to 5-foot swell in the winter months.

2. Southport Yacht Club

Right next door to Mariner’s Cove is the Southport Yacht Club. Often it’s less likely that you’ll find an available berth here but alas, still worth a mention given the central location. There is nothing better than having lunch here on a weekday and catching up with the locals who all have one too many stories to tell.

3. Runaway Bay Marina (Hollywell)

The Runaway Bay Marina is still quite central and a place to spot some of the nicest waterfront homes around the Gold Coast. It can get a little crowded here so it’s worth calling up in advance to check if any of the 196 marine berths are available for temporary bookings. This is one popular spot for cruising catamarans and yachts coming in from Fiji and the rest of the South Pacific.

4. Gold Coast City Marina & Shipyard

If you need some serious work done to your hull, engines or batteries, then you need to get it over to the Gold Coast City Marina and Shipyard. This place is huge! Aesthetically-speaking, it isn’t the best given it’s a full-service boat-works area just like The Boat Works mentioned below, but well worth checking out regardless.

5. Calypso Bay Marina

The latest marina to open on the Gold Coast is Calypso Bay who allows liveaboards for short-term occupancy. The area is stunning and quite a distance away from the party boats and tourists of the Gold Coast. The area is still in development but you can see some real money here with the beautiful waterfront homes and upmarket dining options.

6. Tweed Marina

Fancy heading south? Across the border and into New South Wales, you’ll find Tweed Marina. They allow liveaboard cruisers for the short-term and this is the only marina you’ll find until you get down to Brunswick Heads. That said – you won’t want to leave with just how peaceful it is here at Tweed Heads with its numerous cafes and vibrant waterways worth exploring. No jet skis here and rarely do you find powerboats too!

7. Hope Island and Hope Harbour Marinas

There are two marinas here. You’ve got Hope Island Marina and Hope Harbour Marina which both allow liveaboard cruising couples needing a save haven for a little while. You can stay here year-round except for April and May where the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show comes to town.

8. The Boat Works

The Boat Works is a highly recommended place to find quality marine mechanics and upholstery experts, as well as staying in the marina. The place is quite busy and no doubt you’ll spot a few large superyachts as well. Based on Coomera, their claim is “Australia’s greatest boatyard” and I certainly would agree. Plenty of marine trades here and world-class facilities, though not always the best place to enjoy the serenity.

9. Bayview Harbour

A top spot to enjoy the quieter side of the Gold Coast is Bayview Harbour. This happens to be one of the oldest and most established marinas on the Gold Coast and you can certainly stay here as a liveaboard. Unfortunately, apart from some local cafes, there isn’t much shopping or much else to do here, so it’s really for the short-stay liveaboards.

Getting Started

And I’m done! That’s 9 great marinas worth checking into if you live aboard your boat. Of course, you’re unlikely to stay long term (several years) in these locations but you can certainly stay short-term. To get around some of the rules, you can always head off to one of the Gold Coast anchorages for a few days and then return, or head off to another one of these beautiful marinas!

What an AMAZING experience we had! I booked a VIP booth for my best friends hens party and it did not disappoint! Rachel our server was so lovely and always checking in with us and gave us great service! The music was fun and great songs were played! Could not recommend enough!

Love when I get the opportunity to do a trip on the YOT Club! The vibe is fun, the food and drinks are amazing, and staff have always taken very good care of us when attending. I highly recommend the YOT Club to everyone I can! (Do make sure you arrive early, so you can find the boat.. if attending at the gold coast, they have YOT deck there, where you can waste any extra waiting time for boarding).

Lisa Harris

Our private function for VVIP clients was exceptional thanks to the team. I look forward to exploring packages to create our next nautical adventure. The team were wonderful. It was a truly memorable event that ended the 2023 events in Gold Coast, accompanied by some sea breeze, excellent wines & amazing conversations for our end of year in a spectacular way. Thank you team. Lisa & Team Finvest We can’t wait to get our next party sorted with you!

Despite the weather being a little sketchy, the cruise was fantastic! Staff were attentive and friendly, the boat is awesome and the food and drinks equally so. A great afternoon experience for a large group, can’t recommend highly enough.

Great band, music and great cocktails the bartenders were very accomodating to make me a greygoose and kahlua espresso martini instead of using their batch mix, Had the Moreton bay bug roll which was delicious and the steak sandwich was perfect, spent half the day there so that speaks volumes. Great views, food and drinks along with atmosphere. Also the caramel cheescake was to die for.

Red sea international welcomes overseas flights serving new resorts.

Celebrating the inaugural flight of flydubai to the Red Sea International Airport on April 18, 2024 ... [+] brings reality one step closer.

It’s no secret that yachting is big in Saudi Arabia. If things go as planned, yachting is about to get much bigger along the coast of the Red Sea. What does that have to do with airports? Projects like NEOM, Sheybara Island, and Sindalah display development plans expected to offer more than 3,500 marina berths upon completion of the region’s ambitious Saudi Arabia Vision 2030 plan.

Marina plans are lavish and extensive, nudging up close to amenities often sought by superyacht guests. While encouraging owners to bring their yachts to the Red Sea after the Mediterranean season winds down, the option to take to the air to make that jump is becoming a viable option.

On Thursday, April 18, the inaugural flydubai flight is scheduled to fly from Dubai’s DXB airport to deliver passengers to the brand new Red Sea International Airport , RSI, in Saudi Arabia according to a press release issued by Red Sea Global. This marks an important milestone welcoming the first international connection.

A host on flydubai stand ready to welcome guests on board the first international flight to Red Sea ... [+] International Airport, RSI, scheduled for April 18, 2024.

Flydubai will arrive on a twice a weekly schedule, Thursdays and Sundays, joining Saudia Airlines. Saudia has been serving RSI since September of 2023. The addition will increase the number of flights to eight per week from DXB. At the time of writing this article, fares for the April 18 flight, returning to Dubai on April 21, are available for $1590 AED, or $430.25 USD, each way. When fully complete, the facility is expected to serve one million guests per year according to Red Sea Global CEO John Pagano.

Quoting Michael White, Chief Commercial Officer of Red Sea International Airport, “The arrival of international travelers represents an exciting next phase in RSI’s development, following our first domestic flights touching down in September last year. We are committed to providing exceptional services to passengers and airlines alike and we look forward to further expanding our network to serve The Red Sea and travelers from around the world.”

Nearby, the NEOM Airport welcomed its first air passengers to the area in January of 2019. NEOM is a part of the Saudi Vision 2030 initiative.

Gates at Red Sea International Airport will welcome international flights via flydubai, joining ... [+] Saudia Airlines, bringing eight flights weekly to the region.

About The Airport

If you haven’t heard about Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 new developments planned along the Red Sea coast, know that the undertaking is massive. An array of ultra-luxurious resorts, dining, marinas, diving, shopping, golf courses, and recreation options are to be focused on regenerative tourism intending to diversify the oil economy of the region.

A rendering of the Red Sea International Airport, about 90 kilometers south of Al Wajh, as it will ... [+] look upon completion, embracing five mini terminals able to operate independently to reduce energy use.

Upon its scheduled completion in entirety, The Red Sea Project envelope currently embraces 50 resorts, 8,000 hotel rooms, 1,000 residential properties, 22 islands, and six sites further inland. And that does not include other regional projects, like NEOM, The Mukaab, Trojena, and Oxagon. Power for all this is generated from the already built and operational 760,000 panels in five off-grid solar farms, the world’s largest battery storage facility checkin in at 1.2 Gigawatt hours.

The Red Sea International Airport is small, but its design is intended to provide white-glove service to an ultra-high end luxury traveler. Designed to become the first carbon-neutral airport in the Middle East, the facility uses local materials, minimizes light pollution, and incorporates 100 percent renewable energy in accordance with minimum LEED Gold Certification building standards. The main terminal, set to fully open in 2025, is built with five small terminals able to operate independently as demand dictates, reducing energy use.

Red Sea International is designed for guests to feel relaxed and pampered, with baggage systems that ... [+] seamlessly deliver luggage to guest destinations while providing a see-through window from arrival to plane via expansive glass walls.

About the Region

Enormous projects that the airport currently serve include the Six Senses Southern Dunes at the Red Sea and the St. Regis Red Sea Resort. Additional resorts scheduled to open in 2024 name Nujuma, a Ritz Carlton Reserve that is one of only seven worldwide, the Shebara resort featuring stainless steel orb overwater villas, and the Desert Rock resort tucked between the mountain range and the western seacoast.

Notably large developments here include the Mukaab in Riyadh, a giant cube 400 meters x 400 meters x 400 meters. The structure will house a central tower surrounded by a huge screen display, delivering 100,000 residential units, 9,000 hotel rooms, and 980,000 square meters of retail space.

The Line in NEOM will build a 170 kilometer structure intended to house nine million residents in compact, linear neighborhoods connected by underground transit. Trojena is an outdoor ski destination that is 50 kilometers from the Red Sea Coast, already scheduled to host the 2029 Asian Winter Games.

Sindalah is designed as a luxury island destination with an 86 berth marina and 75 offshore buoys, yacht club, 51 luxury retailers, three luxury hotels, and a bevy of services.

Red Sea Global and the Public Investment Fund

A closed joint-stock company owned by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia , the projects being undertaken by Red Sea Global look to a sustainable future that will diversify its economy while nurturing the environment.

There are some who question the scope of the project, critical of its claim to sustainability, and concerned whether much of the planned vision is truly viable. Others state confusion regarding the various areas of development. For that, a decent primer is provided by Middle East Travel and Tourism Editor, John Navarre.

Pros and cons aside, many photos and videos of actual construction of infrastructure and luxurious hospitality facilities regularly document progress. In the interim, Red Sea Global has put together a music album delivering a mix of Saudi, Arab, and African cultural pieces to further inspire visions of Red Sea landscapes for future guests of the region. Sweet dreams.
