Marine Trade Supplies & Chandlery is proud to call The Boat Works home. We occupy all of Building B at the entrance to the South Yard, right in the middle between the two boat yards, so we’re central to both (mailing address B2/200 Beattie Road, Coomera) — beside the hardstand, marina and the many marine trades who work in the boat yard.

That location is the point. When a vessel is on the hardstand, in a refit shed or alongside in the marina, owners, captains, contractors and tenants can walk in for antifoul, paint, hardware, rope, safety gear and day-to-day chandlery. There is rarely a need to leave the boat yard, or the wider Coomera marine precinct, to keep a job moving.

We’re here for The Boat Works customers, the tenants and trades who work in the boat yard every day, and visiting vessels travelling the east coast. You can also see us in The Boat Works directory.

The Boat Works is a 55-acre boatyard, marina and superyacht facility in the Gold Coast Marine Precinct at Coomera. It operates two complementary boat yards — the South Yard boatyard and marina, and the North Yard superyacht boat yard and marina — so work can stay in one destination, from haul-out through to handover.

The boat yard runs six haul-out machines, with lifting options from a 45-tonne hydraulic Sealift through to a 300-tonne Travelift, described by The Boat Works as the largest-capacity boat lift on the Gold Coast. Together they take a wide range of monohulls, catamarans and larger craft.

Facilities include expansive open hardstand across the South and North Yards, covered hardstand bays, and purpose-built refit sheds — including catamaran-specific sheds — with height clearance of up to 20 metres. Owners can work on their own boats or call in professional help. A dedicated cruisers’ liveaboard hardstand and resort-style amenities (laundries, ensuites, air-conditioned lounges, courtesy cars, a gym and barbecue areas) make longer stays more comfortable.

The marina offers 125 work berths, including catamaran-specific berths, covered Watershed in-water refit berths, and a superyacht basin. It sits about 11 nautical miles from the Gold Coast Seaway, with in-water service berths, power, water and waste, plus refuelling and crane-pad access. Visiting vessels can arrange short-term berthing and use the crane pad for rigging, provisioning or refuelling.

Around the boat yard is a large on-site trade community — The Boat Works lists more than 100 marine businesses and more than 1,000 marine professionals in the precinct — so engineers, shipwrights, painters, fabricators, riggers and other specialists are a short walk away. As The Boat Works puts it, there is no need to leave the shipyard to source the people or the products a job needs.

Think of us as the marine hardware store for the boat yard. We service The Boat Works customers and the many tenants and trades who work here, as well as boats visiting the Gold Coast Marine Precinct. If you need a coating, a fastener, a length of rope or a trailer part mid-job, you can collect it on site and get back to the vessel.

In The Paint Locker we stock antifoul, primers, topcoats, fillers and application supplies, with on-site tinting — including Awlgrip and Awlcraft 3000. Brands we support include Awlgrip, International Yacht and International Marine, Jotun, Hempel / Wattyl and Altex / Resene / Carboline. See our Coatings Division for the full picture.

Across the chandlery we also carry:

• Deck hardware, sailing hardware and everyday fasteners and fittings for hardstand and shed work
• Rope, rigging supplies, Seldén blocks and deck hardware, Muir winches and anchor chain, and OMC anchor chain
• Electrical accessories and R&J Batteries
• Marine safety equipment and PPE for work on the hardstand
• Boat trailer parts, plus adhesives and sealants, composites and cleaning ranges such as Sabatack, Gurit and CleanAWORX

The Boat Works’ own directory describes us as specialists in ships chandlery and boat maintenance supplies, open to the public Monday to Friday and servicing trade and wholesale customers. If you’re already in the boat yard, walk over — or shop online and collect instore.

We look after the trades, tenants and contractors who work in the boat yard, as well as visiting crews and private owners. If you buy regularly, you can apply for an instore COD (cash) account and keep jobs moving without unnecessary delays at the counter.

We email a copy of your tax invoice with every sale, so your records are always on hand. And the next time you haul out, we can look up your history: which anodes you fitted, which antifoul you used and how many litres it took. Getting the right gear for the next job is quick.

The Boat Works has been a generous and supportive partner, and we’re grateful to make our home in this boat yard. It’s a privilege to serve the captains, owners, tenants and trades who keep the precinct busy, and to be part of a place where visiting vessels can haul out, refit and re-stock without leaving the marine precinct.

To everyone at The Boat Works — thank you. We look forward to helping the next boat on the hardstand, and the next visitor coming up the Coomera River.
