There’s nothing quite like watching high energy sailing action off the shores of the Gold Coast.
In 2025, we welcome many new visiting entrants for the Yacht Sales Co Sail Paradise regatta – the premier annual event for our city.
This regatta is a huge drawcard for families and provides sailing enthusiasts the chance to view the race flotilla up close at Southport Yacht Club. I know Brett and the team at Southport Yacht Club share the passion for this regatta and will put on a fantastic line-up of entertainment for crews and visitors over the three-day program.
Sailing is a fantastic sport and our city’s yachting facilities have been upgraded to improve services and support across the marine industry. We have big plans for further upgrades including more superyacht berths as we head towards the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics.
Visitors can expect to see major upgrades throughout the Southport marine precinct including more dining, resort and logistics operations. It’s all part of our plan to make the coast the No 1 port of choice for visiting crews.
As Mayor, I encourage visitors to stay a little longer, party a little harder and soak up the magic of the coast.
Let’s set sail for The Yacht Sales Co Sail Paradise.
Tom Tate
Mayor
