Runaway Bay Marina is a large full-service Gold Coast marina and boatyard in Hollywell (Runaway Bay), QLD. Runaway Bay Marina provides 195 wet berths for vessels recorded up to 30 metres, extensive dry storage and an integrated service yard on the northern Gold Coast. That combination gives the listing a clear strength: it serves a recognisable boating need in its own waterway. For anyone comparing marinas in QLD, that specificity matters because location, access and facility type can be as important as an amenities list.
The YouSail record identifies 195 wet berths, a recorded maximum vessel length of 30 m, Gold Coast Broadwater, wet berths, dry storage for around 280 boats, fuel, 35-tonne travel lift. These details make Runaway Bay Marina especially relevant to Gold Coast owners wanting wet or dry storage with maintenance and hospitality nearby. The principal attractions are wet berths, dry storage, fuel, 35-tonne lifting, shipyard services, amenities, laundry and dining. Together they create a base for routine ownership, a planned stop or a particular itinerary, subject to current access rules and availability.
The setting is central to the choice. Runaway Bay Marina connects crews with Gold Coast Broadwater, while Hollywell (Runaway Bay) provides the shore-side context for provisioning, transport and time away from the boat. The waterway, vessel fit, operator terms and nearby services should be assessed together. Owners who value large full-service Gold Coast marina and boatyard will see the strongest fit here.
Our classification starts with the structured YouSail marina database and is checked against the operator or responsible authority sources retained for the profile. We position the listing most strongly for large full-service Gold Coast marina and boatyard, Gold Coast access and the qualities those sources support. Unverified amenities are not presented as available, and nearby businesses are not turned into on-site facilities. This produces a clearer comparison and precise questions for the operator.
Before committing: Confirm wet-berth or dry-storage availability, vessel fit, lift booking and fuel hours. Plan the local approach around current charts, bridge clearances and waterways advice. Availability, prices, depth, navigation information and operating conditions can change, so use this profile to build a shortlist rather than replace direct confirmation.
