Meridien Marinas Horizon Shores 
   
Deep into the hidden gem that is the Gold Coast waterway, with its prolific birdlife and pristine wetlands, Meridien Marinas Horizon Shores feels far away from the glamour of the glitzy Gold Coast just a few miles to the south. The marina village is, appropriately, a very civilised boating oasis befitting it's location midway between Brisbane and Main Beach. Undergoing significant upgrading and redevelopment in 2009, Meridien Marinas Horizon Shores is a world-class boating destination with five star facilities.

The modern marina village caters for vessels of all sizes whether staying one night or one year. Regardless of vessel size, there's a boat docking solution, including 550 wet marina berths, 260 undercover trailer boats, 360 fully enclosed rack storage bays and 50 shipyard hardstand cradles. Additionally, Meridien Marinas Horizon Shores has a 70 tonne travel lift, as well as one of the few refueling facilities on the Gold Coast. These highly sought after marina berths at one of Australia's most impressive marinas are now selling to boat owners desirous of a prestigious location.
Meridien Marinas Horizon Shores 

But location is not just about prestige, it's about convenience and Meridien Marinas Horizon Shores location is extremely beneficial to boat owners who like to get out on the water for a day, a weekend or even a week. The Gold Coast boasts a spectacular network of waterways comprising five main rivers, numerous creeks, lakes and canals, plus the expansive broadwater. According to the Gold Coast City Council, there are 480 km of rivers streams winding through the Gold Coast, plus another 774 hectares of lakes and canals. Meridien Marinas Horizon Shores is perfectly positioned to take advantage of it all.

Additionally, Moreton Bay with North and South Stradbroke Islands, is just a short distance to the north, while the offshore waters of the Pacific Ocean are easily accessible via Jumpin Pin Bar and the Gold Coast Seaway. All you need to decide is whether you're going to go offshore or stay inshore for your next cruise.
Meridien Marinas Horizon Shores
Meridien Marinas Horizon Shores Meridien Marinas Horizon Shores hosts a couple of hotly contested fishing competitions over the summer. The Berkley Summer Series is held over three Sundays and is a Classic way to get into the growing sport of tournament fishing. It's strictly catch and release, with a few other minor regulations to keep the fishing grounds fair. It's strictly lure and soft plastic fishing only, cast and retrieve style, so trolling and burley aren't used.

Run between December and February each year, contact Meridien Marinas Horizon Shores to enter the next competition and take home your share of the prizes on offer.
