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.
Brokerage profile
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.
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.

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.
