d’Albora, Australia’s largest premium marina and boatyard network, has contracted to acquire Gold Coast City Marina (GCCM), further strengthening its national portfolio. Subject to completion, d’Albora will own 17 premier marina and boatyard destinations, with the capacity to berth a wide range of both recreational and commercials vessels, and provide maintenance and refit services at 11 boatyard facilities across QLD, NSW & VIC.
Located on the Gold Coast on the Coomera River, Gold Coast City Marina is widely regarded as one of the Southern Hemisphere’s largest and most comprehensive refit, repair and maintenance facilities, home to a thriving marine trades precinct supporting hundreds of marine specialists servicing a diverse mix of recreational vessels, commercial operators, and Australian and international superyachts.
The addition of Gold Coast City Marina will strengthen d’Albora’s ability to service customers across the boating lifecycle while reinforcing the commitment to investing in world-class marine infrastructure and supporting Australia’s growing recreational, commercial and international superyacht sectors.
“Gold Coast City Marina is an iconic Australian marine facility and service precinct with an outstanding industry reputation for quality, innovation and service,” said Julien Pouteau, Managing Director of d’Albora.
“This acquisition aligns with our long-term vision to build Australia’s most connected and capable network of marina destinations and boatyards, while continuing to support the highly skilled marine trades that operate within these precincts.”
Gold Coast City Marina will continue operating as a leading marine services hub while benefiting from d’Albora’s operational expertise, national customer network and ongoing investment in marina infrastructure and customer experience.
“We recognise the incredible legacy and reputation that has been built at Gold Coast City Marina,” Pouteau added. “Our focus is on supporting their existing customers, marine trades, tenants and workforce while ensuring the facility continues to grow in its next phase of operational life as a premier marine refit and service destination under the d’Albora brand”.
