Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race 2026

Cruising Yacht Club of Australia

Marina Facility

The Cruising Yacht Club of Australia offers deep-water berthing facilities, including a floating marina accommodating up to 224 yachts, along with crane access for marina occupants.

A range of on-site marine services are available in close proximity, including rigging, shipwrights and a ship chandlery. Additional services such as fuel and sewage pump-out are available at the adjacent d’Albora Marina.

For competitors in the Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, one night of berthing at CYCA is included as part of your entry.

Subject to availability, visiting boats not permanently berthed or moored in Sydney Harbour will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to overseas and interstate entries.

Berth Booking

All visiting yachts are required to complete the berth booking form to confirm their requirements.

Southport Yacht Club

Berthing at Southport Yacht Club is included upon arrival for all competitors.

Due to ongoing marina redevelopment works at Southport Yacht Club, berthing arrangements for the 2026 Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race will operate differently this year.

The Club’s 160-metre Megayacht Berth has been allocated for the event and will be configured to accommodate rafting. This arrangement was successfully utilised during the recent Surf to City Yacht Race, and SYC staff and volunteers will assist all competitors with the rafting process upon arrival on the Gold Coast.

Please note that, due to the marina redevelopment, all competing yachts must vacate the marina by 1000hrs on Wednesday 29 July 2026 unless they are entered in the GCCM Gold Coast Mackay Yacht Race, which commences on Thursday 30 July 2026.

Competitors wishing to remain on the Gold Coast beyond this time are encouraged to contact alternative marinas directly to arrange berthing. Local options include:
