About

Positioned between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, the firm assists buyers and sellers with yachts, catamarans, powerboats, cruisers, houseboats, and commercial vessels, alongside marine insurance, finance, and maintenance support.
Service area: Gold Coast, Broadwater, Moreton Bay and Brisbane waterways
Horizon Shores Boat Sales operates out of Horizon Shores Marina at Woongoolba, situated midway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Its location provides immediate access to premier southern Queensland cruising waterways, including the Broadwater, Jumpinpin Bar, and Moreton Bay. The brokerage represents both buyers and sellers across a wide range of recreational and commercial craft.
The brokerage handles an extensive inventory of new and pre-owned craft across multiple styles and configurations, catering to sailing and motoring enthusiasts alike:
For prospective purchasers, the team provides hands-on guidance through vessel selection, inspections, and the final transfer of ownership. For sellers, Horizon Shores Boat Sales manages the entire transaction from marketing to settlement. Listing packages include dedicated vessel promotion, negotiation management, and berth incentives, such as discounted water berth storage at the marina during the sale campaign.
In addition to boat sales, Horizon Shores Boat Sales assists owners with end-to-end vessel acquisition and ongoing ownership needs. The business coordinates marine insurance through a network of specialised domestic underwriters, helping boaters arrange cover tailored to their cruising plans.
Buyers can also arrange competitive boat finance via established marine lending partners, facilitating straightforward approvals for initial purchases and vessel upgrades. To support ongoing vessel care following settlement, the brokerage provides a maintenance concierge service, connecting owners with quality servicing, mechanical care, refit advice, and vessel improvements.
The brokerage operates on-site at Shops 1–2, Horizon Shores Marina, 1 Cabbage Tree Point Road, Woongoolba. Enquiries regarding listings, appraisals, finance quotes, or maintenance coordination can be made by telephone, email, or via the digital enquiry form.

Batemans Bay and the Clyde River form a classic NSW South Coast cruising region where a sheltered, tidal estuary meets a short, island‑dotted entrance to the Tasman Sea. It’s distinctive for easy access from Canberra, a mix of river and bay sailing, a compact marina and mooring network, and a river entrance (the Clyde River bar) that can change rapidly. The area suits day sails, weekend cruising, trailer‑boat exploration and sheltered coastal passages; offshore or long‑passage plans require careful timing and local knowledge. Preparation for tidal flow, variable southerly swells and shallow, s
Explore →Ballina sits at the mouth of the Richmond River on NSW’s far‑north coast. It’s a working river entrance with a compact boat harbour, exposed ocean beaches and a changeable, sand‑dominated bar. For coastal cruisers it offers a useful stop between Tweed Heads and Yamba, sheltered estuary cruising upriver and easy access to open ocean passages — but the river entrance is highly condition‑dependent and demands respectful planning and local knowledge.
Explore →Apollo Bay is a small working harbour on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road where sheltered inshore sailing meets the Southern Ocean. The character is a mix of protected harbour berths and an exposed open coast: pleasant day-sails and sheltered weekend cruising inside the bay, with demanding coastal passages immediately offshore where south‑westerly swell and strong winds from the Southern Ocean dominate. It suits coastal cruisers, trailer sailors who launch at the ramp, and experienced coastal sailors who understand bar and swell behaviour; it is not a casual open‑ocean anchorage for unprepared or
Explore →Deen Maar (the island and adjacent coastal region off south‑west Victoria) is a small but significant offshore island and coastal protected area offering dramatic cliffs, important seabird and seal habitat, cultural values for Gunditjmara and Eastern Maar Traditional Owners, and a clear contrast between exposed Bass Strait seascape and the comparatively sheltered waters inside the Moyne/Port Fairy approaches. From the water it is best treated as an ecological and cultural landmark rather than a place for casual landings: recreational boating activity is concentrated at Port Fairy, Killarney, Y
Explore →A regular, layered maintenance routine combining hull cleaning, targeted anti-fouling management, cathodic protection and systems checks will substantially reduce marine growth and corrosion for boats kept year‑round in South Australian waters. Focus on preventing attachment and electrochemical attack, then inspect and act more often if you’re in warm, nutrient-rich or high‑traffic sheltered waters.
Explore →Treat a southerly buster as a rapid-onset windshift with a strong increase in wind and sea state; prepare the boat and crew by reducing sail area early, securing loose gear, briefing crew on roles, and identifying shelter or an upwind recovery plan. Respond quickly but deliberately — keep boat controllable, avoid last-minute heavy-handed moves, and prioritise mainsail and crew safety over speed.
Explore →Regular cleaning, targeted protection (grease, corrosion inhibitors, sacrificial anodes and insulating dissimilar metals), and a disciplined inspection and maintenance routine will keep rigging and fittings lasting longer in Tasmania’s cool, salty marine climate.
Explore →Pick a ramp that matches your boat size and trailer setup, has safe approach and exit conditions (depth, slope, surface), good onshore parking and flow, and follow simple ramp etiquette: queue, help others, rig off the trailer when clear, and secure your vessel quickly.
