About Sanctuary Cove Marina
Sanctuary Cove Marina is a destination marina on the northern Gold Coast, where berthing opens directly onto a polished waterfront village, resort accommodation, restaurants, shops and golf. Its four-harbour setting connects through the Coomera River and protected Broadwater waterways without bridge-height restrictions on the published route. We think the marina succeeds because the shore experience feels integral rather than added on: arriving by boat genuinely places a crew at the centre of the precinct.
The marina provides 481 berths spanning jet skis, family cruisers and superyachts up to 150 feet. Casual and day-visitor positions sit alongside permanent and dedicated superyacht options, backed by round-the-clock dockside assistance. Metered power is available at every berth, including three-phase supply for larger vessels, with water and personalised berthing support. Send accurate dimensions, draft, displacement, electrical needs, insurance and timing so the marina can prepare the right position.
A public fuel wharf operates 24/7 by card swipe, supplying fast-flow diesel and premium unleaded. Private toilets, hot and cold showers, change rooms and a cashless laundry are accessible to marina guests, while trolleys help with luggage and provisioning. Free Wi-Fi covers the village precinct, and gated access, extensive CCTV and regular security patrols support the site. What stands out to us is the combination of serious marina infrastructure with a remarkably comfortable guest arrival.
Black-water pump-out is arranged through the marina's partner rather than a fixed self-service unit at every berth, so book it ahead. Onsite maintenance and marine partners can support vessel care, but lifting, storage and specialist projects must be confirmed with the responsible provider. Electrical leads require a valid professional test tag. Ask about access fobs, bulk fuel, contractor rules, shore-power billing and the exact dockside assistance available during the planned stay.
Our take is that Sanctuary Cove suits superyacht crews, premium cruising boats and families wanting a secure full-service stop with exceptional options ashore. The Broadwater route is protected, yet channels, shoals, tide, traffic and local speed rules still require current navigation information. Confirm the berth and approach, then allow time to enjoy the village rather than treating the marina as a fuel stop. Few Gold Coast arrivals make vessel logistics and crew downtime feel this seamless.

To keep in mind
Pump-out is arranged through a service partner rather than assumed at the berth, and tested electrical leads are mandatory. Confirm large-vessel power, maintenance and storage requirements early. Navigate the Broadwater using current channel information, tides, speed rules and marina arrival instructions.
