📢Northside Marine Welcomes Formosa Marine to Its Boat Range📢
Australian-built plate aluminium boats now available through Northside Marine, Brisbane
Northside Marine is proud to announce the arrival of Formosa Marine to our boat range, giving Queensland boaters access to one of Australia’s most respected plate aluminium boat brands through our Boondall dealerships.
The addition of Formosa strengthens our commitment to offering practical, high-quality boats that suit the way people fish, explore and enjoy the water across South East Queensland. From offshore fishing trips to family days on the water, Formosa boats are built for Australian conditions and the people who use them.
For our customers, this means more than another brand in the showroom. It means access to a tough, versatile and locally built plate aluminium range, backed by Northside Marine’s decades of marine industry experience, Yamaha expertise, professional rigging and dependable after-sales support.
Since opening our doors in 1964, Northside Marine has helped generations of Queensland boating families find the right boat for their lifestyle. Today we continue to focus on expert advice, quality brands, reliable service and long-term customer support.
Formosa is a natural fit for that approach.
Proudly designed and built in Australia, Formosa boats have earned a strong reputation for heavy-duty plate aluminium construction, practical layouts and offshore capability. The range is designed for boaters who want confidence on the water, whether they are serious anglers, family boaters or weekend adventurers.
Northside Marine will showcase the complete Formosa range, including GRT and SRT models, Side Consoles, Centre Consoles, Territories, Centre Cabins, Half Cabins and X Bowriders. This gives customers the opportunity to compare models, explore layouts and find a Formosa package that matches their boating style.
The partnership brings together two Australian marine brands with a shared focus on quality, service and helping people create better memories on the water.
Northside Marine Owner, Mark, said the decision to partner with Formosa was an easy one.
“We’ve built our business around supplying products that we genuinely believe in. Formosa has developed a strong reputation for building tough, Australian-made boats that are designed specifically for Australian conditions. Their commitment to quality, innovation and local manufacturing aligns perfectly with what our customers expect from Northside Marine, and we’re excited to bring the brand to Brisbane.”
Formosa Marine Owner, Kristy, said Northside Marine was a strong fit for the Formosa dealer network.
“At Formosa, we’re passionate about building Australian-made boats that Australians can rely on, whether they’re fishing offshore, exploring inland waterways or spending quality time with family and mates. Equally important is ensuring our customers are supported by dealerships that share those same values. Northside Marine has earned an outstanding reputation over more than six decades, and we’re incredibly excited to welcome them to the Formosa Family.”
For Queensland boaters, the timing could not be better. Demand for plate aluminium boats continues to grow as more customers look for vessels that offer durability, fishability, offshore confidence and family-friendly versatility.
Formosa’s model range has been developed with that mix in mind. Whether you are chasing snapper around Moreton Bay, heading offshore, crabbing in the bay, exploring local waterways or towing the kids on a tube, there is a Formosa designed to support the way you boat.
Northside Marine General Manager, Bill, believes customers will quickly appreciate what makes Formosa stand out.
“The Formosa range offers incredible versatility. Whether you’re a serious angler, a family looking for a boat to enjoy on weekends, or someone wanting to explore Australia’s waterways, there’s a Formosa designed for the job. We’re excited to introduce the brand to our customers and help more people discover everything these boats offer.”
Every Formosa package sold through Northside Marine can be supported by Yamaha outboard power, expert setup, electronics installation, accessories, servicing and ongoing support from our experienced team.
That complete ownership experience is central to how we work. We do not simply sell boats; we help customers choose the right boat, set it up properly and get the most out of it for years to come.
The arrival of Formosa gives Northside Marine customers another strong option in the plate aluminium category and further expands our range of boats suited to Queensland boating conditions.
We look forward to welcoming customers into our Boondall showrooms to explore the Formosa range, compare models and speak with our team about the right package for their next adventure.
