MA Financial Group has completed the acquisition of Gold Coast City Marina & Shipyard (GCCM) in Queensland. Initially announced in March 2026, the acquisition expands the d’Albora network to 17 marinas across Australia’s east coast.

Located within the Gold Coast marine precinct with deep-water access near the Broadwater, GCCM supports superyacht servicing, refits and marine maintenance, with more than 80 marine businesses operating from the site.

The facility also provides fuel services and includes more than 200 wet berths for vessels up to 75 metres and 300 enclosed dry stack storage spaces.

The facility also has five hectares of hardstand area, enclosed sheds from eight to 45 metres and undercover work areas for vessels up to 100ft (32 metres). Equipment onsite includes 50-tonne and 300-tonne travelifts, 12-tonne and 14-tonne forklifts, as well as a 45-tonne hydraulic trailer.

Julien Pouteau, managing director of d’Albora Marinas said: “This is an exciting step forward for d’Albora as we continue to grow our presence in key marine markets. Gold Coast City Marina & Shipyard is an exceptional facility with a strong legacy, and we are thrilled to welcome it into our network.”

As part of the transition, Darrell Barnett, a certified marina manager and board member of the Marine Industry Association, has been appointed general manager of GCCM. Paul Vernon will also support operations at the marina and shipyard, with experience in engineering, boat building and shipyard work.
