“Our sponsors … Major Events Gold Coast, Aramex, Short Marine, Club Marine and Mercedes-Benz Gold Coast will once again proudly support Qoin Sail Paradise. All Sponsors received record exposure from last years event, and it was no surprise that all sponsors re-signed immediately after the event. Last year did see many new activities added to the event and in 2023 it will be no different.”
Qoin’s National Sponsorship Executive, Melanie Anthony, said: “We are delighted to be an integral part of Qoin Sail Paradise again in 2023. The exposure that Qoin receives during this event has exceeded our expectations and there was no hesitation to re-sign, we see the extended format as a major boost to our brand. It’s a fantastic opportunity for visitors and locals to experience a premier sailing event, from the shoreline and to enjoy the fantastic Southport Yacht Club facilities”.
