Northside Marine – Your Boating Partners for Life!
In 2025, Northside Marine will celebrate 60 years of serving the boating community. What started as a small family business has over the years evolved into one of the largest marine dealerships in Australia.
A Marine Dealer since 1965
Starting from humble beginnings in 1965, our first branch opened in a 30m² store on Kift Street, Deagon, with the goal of providing boating parts for local North Brisbane enthusiasts. A year later, we began selling our first outboard brand, Johnson Outboards, continuing for many years. Expanding into selling boats and motors was a natural progression, as Keith had been involved in sailing and power boating in the area for several years.
Over the years, we’ve built long-term relationships with many marine suppliers, including Jeanneau, Surtees, Stabicraft, Club Marine (30 years), Stacer (20 years), and Yamaha Outboards (10 years), presenting the best boating brands to our clients. While there have been some brand changes, our commitment to quality remains steadfast.
Services
Today, we operate from a purpose-built 10,000m² dealership location just 20 minutes north of Brisbane CBD in Boondall, QLD. We offer a range of new and used boats and motors, along with Yamaha finance packages. Our dealership also boasts a 350m² boating parts & accessories division and a state-of-the-art service department.
