The Yacht Sales Co. is preparing to welcome boating enthusiasts to its 2026 Gold Coast Open Day on Saturday 7 November, showcasing an impressive selection of premium pre-owned yachts at its Gold Coast Sales Centre within The Boat Works marine precinct in Coomera.
Running from 9am to 3pm, the event will offer visitors the opportunity to step aboard a diverse range of sailing yachts and power catamarans, with vessels displayed both on the water and throughout a dedicated hardstand exhibition.
The on-water display is anticipated to feature yachts from leading international brands including ILIAD Catamarans, Moody, Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot and Dufour Yachts, with the final line-up to be announced closer to the event.
An extensive hardstand display will further highlight the diversity of pre-owned yachts available, including models from Schionning, Lightwave, Lagoon, Leopard, Perry and more, catering to a wide range of cruising preferences and budgets.
The Yacht Sales Co. General Manager – Pre-Owned Sales, Patrick Gilot, said the Open Day provides an excellent opportunity for prospective buyers and boating enthusiasts to explore the market firsthand.
“There is no better way to appreciate a yacht than to step aboard, experience the layout and speak directly with people who understand the different models and their capabilities,” Mr Gilot said.
“With such a diverse selection in one location, visitors can compare designs, explore their options and gain valuable advice from our experienced team.”
The Boat Works Owner, Tony Longhurst, welcomed the opportunity to once again host the annual event.
“We’re proud to support The Yacht Sales Co.’s annual Open Day, bringing boat buyers and enthusiasts together at The Boat Works. The unique out-of-water display offers visitors the opportunity to inspect yachts up close and at their leisure, while experiencing the convenience of yacht sales, marine trades and service facilities all in one precinct,” Mr Longhurst said.
Beyond the yacht displays, visitors can experience the world-class facilities of The Boat Works, Australia’s leading marine precinct, offering an extensive network of marine services, waterfront dining and recreational amenities.
Popular dining destinations, including The Galley, Kokomo Kitchen & Bar and Espresso Twenty5 Café, provide opportunities to relax and enjoy the atmosphere throughout the day.
Adding to the occasion, Garage 25, The Boat Works’ private collection of vintage, classic and pedigree race cars, will also be open for viewing, providing another attraction for visitors and families.
Whether looking to purchase a first yacht, upgrade to a larger vessel or explore selling an existing yacht, visitors can connect with The Yacht Sales Co.’s experienced team for personalised advice and guidance.
With ample onsite parking and a relaxed waterfront setting, visitors are encouraged to make a day of it and explore everything on offer.
