Hope Harbour Marina

About Hope Harbour Marina

Hope Harbour Marina is tucked into a sheltered basin on the eastern edge of Hope Island, around two kilometres from the Gold Coast Broadwater. The setting feels noticeably removed from the busier commercial marinas, yet remains close to the northern Gold Coast and the M1. We think that contrast is its signature: owners can enjoy a quiet, resort-style base while keeping the Broadwater, Southern Moreton Bay Islands and Gold Coast cruising grounds within comfortable reach.

The marina publishes 280 berths for sailboats, powerboats and multihulls from six to 40 metres, with options for both short- and long-term stays. Purpose-built multihull and superyacht spaces, broad fairways and power and water at every berth broaden its appeal beyond standard monohull berthing. Larger berths can access three-phase electricity. Exact availability and vessel fit remain subject to assessment, so a useful first conversation should cover length overall, beam, draft, power needs and intended stay.

Security is a strong part of the proposition. The operator identifies round-the-clock CCTV, on-site guards and gated access to the pontoons and shoreside amenities. On land, crews can use laundry facilities, a resort-style swimming pool, barbecue area, tennis court, complimentary parking and courtesy trolleys. What stands out to us is how these practical details make the marina comfortable for more than a quick stop, particularly for cruising families or owners spending regular weekends aboard.

Hope Harbour also provides secure storage for trailers, boats, caravans, motorhomes and other equipment, supported by keypad entry, a washdown bay and private ramp access. A designated jetty helps with loading stores and passengers. The marina promotes a tender service and nearby resort accommodation, while Paradise Point adds further dining and provisioning choices. Fuel, repairs, pump-out and other specialist marine services should be confirmed directly rather than assumed from older maps or documents.

Our take is that Hope Harbour Marina works especially well for multihull owners, larger vessels and crews who prioritise shelter, security and a relaxed stay. It has the breathing room of a destination marina without isolating owners from the Gold Coast. Contact the office before arrival for a berth allocation, current approach guidance and any access arrangements, then confirm which resort facilities are included with the booking. With that preparation, Hope Harbour offers a genuinely peaceful gateway to the region's waterways.

Services

Hope Harbour Marina offers 280 berths for short- and long-term stays, accommodating sailboats, powerboats, multihulls and selected superyachts from six to 40 metres. Purpose-built multihull spaces and generous fairways support wider vessels. Every berth has water and electricity, with three-phase supply available at larger berths. Confirm current vacancy, depth, exact dimensions and power connection before arrival.

Security includes 24-hour CCTV, on-site guards and gate-key access to berths and amenities. Shoreside facilities include laundry, a resort-style pool, barbecue area, tennis court, complimentary parking and courtesy trolleys. A tender service, boat ramp, brokerage and nearby hotel are also promoted. Office hours and access to individual facilities can change, so check the arrangements attached to the berth booking.

Secure on-site storage accommodates boats, trailers, jet skis, caravans, motorhomes, cars and other equipment. Storage users have keypad access, security monitoring, a washdown bay, private ramp access and a jetty for loading. Current operator pages do not clearly confirm public fuel, pump-out, mechanical repairs or haul-out as standard marina services. Arrange those requirements in advance and ask the team for trusted local options where needed.

Ideal for

Multihull owners, larger yachts, cruising families and Gold Coast boaters seeking sheltered berthing with strong security and resort-style shoreside facilities.

What we love

• A quiet basin close to the Broadwater
• Purpose-built multihull and superyacht berths
• Power and water at every berth
• Pool, tennis, barbecue and laundry facilities
• Useful secure storage and private ramp access

To keep in mind

Ask the marina to confirm berth fit, approach details, electrical requirements and facility access before arrival. The published range is broad, but larger and wider boats still need individual approval. Fuel, pump-out, lifting and repair services should be organised separately unless the team confirms a current on-site option.
