Mark Elkington has a bold claim about this year's Gold Coast Open Day: it will be the biggest the company has ever staged. Given the breadth of yachts lined up for the occasion, it is not a difficult case to make.
The Yacht Sales Co. is throwing open the doors of its Gold Coast Sales Centre at The Boat Works, Coomera, on Saturday 1 November 2025, for what shapes up as one of Australia's largest gatherings of pre-owned yachts under one roof. Entry is free, the gates open at 9am, and the event runs through to 3pm.
The waterfront setting at The Boat Works marine precinct lends itself perfectly to an event of this kind. Vessels will be displayed both afloat and on the hardstand, giving visitors the chance to step aboard and walk through a wide variety of models in a single visit. The brands represented span Fountaine Pajot, Schionning, Prestige, Beneteau, Leopard, Lagoon, Perry, Bavaria, Clipper Cordova, and Lightwave, among others, covering respected Australian and international boatbuilders. Power yachts and sail yachts, monohulls and multihulls, all feature in the mix.
Elkington, Chief Executive Officer of The Yacht Sales Co., summed up the appeal of the occasion. "These events have always been a huge hit, but with the incredible range of quality pre-owned yachts on display this year, we're expecting record attendance," he said. "From power to sail, monohulls to multihulls, there's something for every boating enthusiast."
The programme goes well beyond browsing decks and comparing layouts. A strong line-up of marine exhibitors and suppliers will be on hand throughout the day, covering products and services relevant to every kind of boatie, whether someone weighing up their first purchase or a seasoned skipper looking at an upgrade. The Yacht Sales Co. team will be available for professional conversations around buying, selling, and yacht ownership more broadly.
With free parking included and the precinct's waterfront dining within easy reach, the open day is designed to be a genuinely enjoyable outing for families, friends, and the simply curious, not just those actively in the market. For anyone wanting to compare quality pre-owned yachts side by side, it is a rare chance to do so in a single location.
The Yacht Sales Co. Gold Coast Sales Centre is located at The Boat Works, Coomera. Doors open at 9am on Saturday 1 November 2025 and close at 3pm.
