Boat enthusiasts, mark your calendars and ready your sea legs because the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS) is back, and it’s promising to be an event to remember. From May 23 to May 26, SCIBS will once again take centre stage, drawing in marine enthusiasts from across Australia and beyond. And this year again, the Gold Coast Marina & Shipyard’s (GCCM) stand will be located at PR5 on the Promenade.

The Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show is the most immersive, unmissable boating lifestyle event in the Southern Hemisphere — from the luxury lifestyle of the superyacht set to the family fun of messing around with everything on, under and around the water. The latest-and-greatest boating tech and equipment, exclusive waterside VIP experiences and over 47,000+ visitors, 300+ exhibitors, 740+ boats and 2,500+ marine products make this Australia’s biggest celebration of lifestyles that are exotic and aquatic.

At GCCM’s stand, meet the crew and discover a hub of innovation and expertise. Connecting with the marine industry’s leading businesses and discovering solutions for all your boating needs. So what happened since our last SCIBS show? Over the past year, GCCM has been hard at work, expanding our offerings and achieving remarkable milestones.

In recognition of our commitment to excellence, GCCM has been accredited the 5-GOLD anchors marina again this year. This achievement underscores our commitment to excellence and top-tier service.

One of our proudest accomplishments has been the launch of our full project management services, designed to assist boat owners with refits and repairs of all sizes. Whether you’re sailing the high seas on a superyacht or navigating tranquil waters in a tinny, GCCM has the expertise and resources to ensure a smooth refit period for your vessel and take you back on the water quicker.
