The Northside Marine story

Northside Marine's story begins the way the best ones always do — with a genuine passion for the water. Since our founding in 1966, we have grown from a single-location dealership serving Brisbane's northside into one of Queensland's most respected and comprehensive marine businesses, now operating across two state-of-the-art facilities.

What has never changed in nearly six decades is the philosophy at our core: put the customer first, stock only the boats we believe in, and stand behind everything we sell. That commitment is why generations of Queensland families have returned to Northside Marine for their second boat, their third, and beyond.

Today, from our 4 acre facility in Boondall, Brisbane to our Coomera showroom on the Gold Coast, we serve boat buyers, owners, and enthusiasts across Queensland and Northern New South Wales — offering an end-to-end marine experience that goes far beyond the point of sale.

Open Positions

Built on Values That Don't Change.

The boating industry evolves constantly — new brands, new technology, new buyers. What doesn't change at Northside Marine is the set of beliefs that have guided us since 1966.

Genuine Expertise

Our team doesn't just sell boats — they live and breathe the marine lifestyle. From offshore fishing experts to luxury cruising specialists, every person on the Northside Marine floor has the knowledge to give you genuinely useful advice, not a sales pitch.

Brands We Believe In

We don't stock everything — we stock the best. Jeanneau, Stabicraft, Surtees, Highfield, Stacer, and Formosa are brands we have chosen with care. Every vessel in our range is one we would buy ourselves, powered by Yamaha — the world's most trusted outboard engine.

After-Sales Commitment

The sale is just the beginning. Our Yamaha-certified service workshops at Boondall and Coomera, our Pro-Install accessory fitting team, and our comprehensive after-sales support means we're with you for the life of your boat — not just the purchase.

Local Knowledge

We know these waters. From the Moreton Bay grounds to the Southport bar, the Broadwater canals to the offshore reefs off Northern New South Wales — our team's local knowledge informs every boat recommendation we make.

Transparency

No hidden costs. No overselling. No pressure tactics. Northside Marine's reputation has been built over nearly 60 years on doing the right thing by our customers — and that isn't something we're willing to compromise for a single transaction.

Community

We're not just a dealership — we're part of the Queensland boating community. We support local fishing clubs, marine events, and the broader lifestyle that connects everyone who loves spending time on the water. That community is why we exist.

Northside Marine is a globally recognised leader in the marine dealership world, now in two locations.
