Setting sail for Coast

THE Gold Coast’s reputation as a destination for big boats and superyachts is starting to ride a wave ahead of the Commonwealth Games.

Gold Coast City Marina now has 12 Superyachts confirmed – ranging from 105 to 180 footers – for the duration of the Games next April.

More than 20 of the multimillion-dollar floating palaces are also booked in for the country’s second Superyacht Rendezvous at the marina the weekend after the Games.

The Rendezvous is aimed at promoting the region as a cruising destination and charter zone plus showcasing the Gold Coast as a refit and repair hub.
