    I recently had the pleasure of purchasing my dream boat. After two years of thought and research I chose the Surtees 650 Game Fisher. I met Jason Comino from Northside Marine Brisbane at the Sanctuary Cove boat show and visited the Surtees exhibits. A lovely fella, extremely knowledgeable, and a very likeable chap. Days later I placed an order with him. He filled me with confidence from the first moment I spoke to him. To say this was an exciting and enjoyable transaction is an understatement. The service from Jason Comino at Northside Marine, and Cliff Schick from Surtees Boats based in New Zealand was simply outstanding. I made a number of changes and additions to the boat. Making the cabin a bit longer as I intend to sleep on it at weekends, incorporating a galley, sliding doors, toilet, extra lighting to the boarding platform, searchlight, rear cages and timber look seadeck etc etc the list goes on. I was kept informed every week throughout the build and even sent five or six photos every week showing the build process and progression. Extremely thoughtful of all involved. The support and advice offered by Jason Comino was excellent and I'm so thankful I listened to him. He made certain recommendations regarding essential options which have proved to have been invaluable out here in the Qld sun. For instance I wasn't that bothered about the extended canopy or the two forward face roof hatches - Crikey, they are a godsend. When painting the boat Surtees took the time to contact me via Jason at Northside Marine, to recommend the painted black cages I ordered, should be matched by painting the bow rails too. Surtees also did not charge me for this, it was extremely generous and demonstrated that they actually cared about the final look of the boat. Throughout this transaction and build process, I have been updated, informed and actually cared for from start to finish. They all made me feel like a king. The delivery was a very special moment for me and the boat was presented and handed over to me beautifully by Northside Marine. Between Jason Comino, Surtees, and Northside Marine, they really couldn't have done anything any better at all. Since the purchase we've had a lot of wind and rain, but I go out every weekend. The boat is extremely impressive and handles so much better than my high expectations. It just glides through the chop like a knife through butter, it's so comfortable I actually feel like I'm in a Rolls Royce, waaaay better than the Bar Crusher which was my 2nd choice. I really do love it and enjoy it that much. It's quite rare to experience such enthusiastic, professional service and support from companies in this day & age. It's a 10/10 for Surtees boats, Northside Marine and especially the legend Jason Comino. Thank you so much. Regards Peter

    Once again I can’t speak highly enough of Mark and the crew. Mark sold us our Stabicraft 11 months ago and we had some issues with the helmmaster. Tried to get it repaired here locally in Cairns with no luck. Mark spoke to Yamaha and his mechanics and got us into Cavs marine in Tully. We didn’t mind driving the two hours to actually get the boats navigation system up and working. Highly recommend both of these teams.
    Thanks again Mark

    Very happy with my purchase at Northside Marine, great staff, and I had a fantastic experience receiving my new boat. The setup process was straightforward with all the specials!
    Thanks, Api, and team.

    Just picked up our Highfield 360 Sport from Chris Steffen at Northside Marine. I was really picky… I research everything to death but the team and the service and the product was superb. Nothing was too much trouble and I asked for quite a few alterations. I was kept up-to-date with delivery and the helpful suggestions just kept coming from the whole team Bill, Keely even the guy at the chandlers for mooring lines etc. The show room/yard has a lot of stock unlike some dealers and they were happy to organise my wife and I to experience the boats on the water before we bought. If you are a discerning buyer and you want quality and genuine care and passion for boating look no further. We travelled an hour to see these guys and we kept doing it because it was worth the trip every time. Well done Northside Marine you went above and beyond and my wife and I just want to thank you all for making our getting-out-on-the-water so much fun. Your passion shows.

    Northside Marine are the people to go to for a Highfield boat! We had the pleasure of experiencing Northside’s after sales service and I can only say it was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble for them - they went over and above my expectations. Our next Highfield will definitely be from Northside Marine.

  • Avatar Ben Bayat ★★★★★ a year ago
    Bunch of legends!!! Specially Adam from the service department. I had an issue with my outboard and was abou to fly to perth where i work called about 10 different places, and no one would even wanted to talk saying they're fully booked for weeks and won't be able to help.
    Called Adam and explained how stuck I was he said, "Drop it in ASAP and will fit you in and sort it out before your departure!! Drop the boat next morning at 8.30 am and done by 12.
    If you are reading this review, don't hesitate to deal with guys. Just ask for Adam, and he is the man to sort you out for sure 🙂
  • Avatar Lance Obrien ★★★★★ a year ago
    I have bought 3 Stabi craft boats through these guys over the years & the customer service is always on point. Id highly recommend These guy's for anything boating. Thanks again for yet another wonderful experience 👏
  • Avatar Robert Boehmer ★★★☆☆ a year ago
    I have mixed feelings about this place. I have had amazing service from the first salesman who I purchased my boat from (he is still there) but the delivery of my boat was from a different person and a lot of information was not passed on to me during delivery which affected my experience - so your experience can be very much affected by who you talk to. Also I have ordered a number of parts from their parts shop and 2 out of 4 times they provided me the incorrect part which meant a return trip, though the parts guy was apologetic.
  • Avatar Jarred O'Hanlon ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Great service and knowledge about all boat and boating needs. Stacer boats have been one of my personal favourite brands, tried and tested paired with the new four stroke Yamaha's, you got yourself a true blue Aussie boat, that won't let you down.. Mark and Damien are the blokes to talk to.
  • Avatar Will ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    cant thank Mark enough for his level of service and patience.
    would recommend speaking to these guys about your next boat!
    extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I could not have made my situation work without marks flexibility in my needs for sizing and configuration in the trailer, boat package.
    legends!

    We recently purchased a Jeanneau 695 from Northside Marine and couldn't be happier with the service and communication we received during the process.
    David Choveaux was professional and thorough during the sales and fit out process as well as keeping us informed of any changes or covid delays that were taking place along the way.
    Northside took care of all our after market options and their workmanship is excellent.
    I highly recommend using Northside Marine and talking to David Choveaux next time you want to buy a boat.
