New Boat Sales

TEN YEARS on and some 500+ boats sold... Business partners Andrew Rose and Darren Finkelstein continue to ride a wave of success at St Kilda Marina. Our boutique Boat Sales and Service Centre businesses are thriving because our service is great, our prices are competitive and our approach is straight-down the line. We offer boat owners the full range of marine services to ensure their boating experience is both complete and pleasurable. Wonderfully located right on the water’s edge at St Kilda only 8kms from Melbourne CBD, each boat we service is fully bay tested giving our clients the added peace of mind. We are truly a one-stop shop!

With expertise and experience spread over our businesses, Andrew runs the Service Centre team of qualified mechanics and Darren manages Boat Sales. A business partnership that is strong, customer focussed, its longevity and strength is testament.

We're in the LIFESTYLE business, we are constantly Making Dreams Happen. Every boat buyer, has at some time dreamt of a boat they’d love to own, the fish they want to catch or the destination they want to anchor. Our customers are wanting to voluntarily, take a step back from the everyday be-it; the office, the traffic or the daily routine. Now they can play boats, in the fresh-air, on the water, out in the sunshine. There's simply nothing better to recharge and refocus, it clears the head. Remember 'quality time' with family, friends or even by yourself. It's all about Lifestyle,  afterall 'Life Is Too Short'.

We have been described as the guys that give 'boating advice straight-up', without the 'fluff and without obligation'. Really well-respected, majority of our business is by referral from delighted customers telling their colleagues, friends and family. Most wanting to share their experience of dealing with us!

Our success didn’t come by chance nor overnight, it has been many years in the making and even some mistakes along the way. It all started when we were kids, with a love of all things boating – the passion still continues today and passed down to our kids who love the water as well.

St Kilda Boat Sales - Caribbean Dealer - New and Used Cruisers

St Kilda Boat Sales and our Service Centre are both located at St Kilda Marina, in bayside Melbourne suburb of Elwood. The famous St Kilda Marina was originally built from reclaimed swamp land by Archibald (Arch) Wilberforce Spooner in 1969. Make no mistake, St Kilda Marina is the home of Caribbean Boats....

Today still hand-making Caribbean Boats the old fashion way, the next generation of Spooners led by grandson Richard (the 3rd generation) is the companies Managing Director. Arch's youngest son Greg manages the St Kilda Marina location. Interestingly, the Spooners were the first to introduce fibreglass into the process of boat building here in Australia. True industry pioneers, now having all three generations, hands-on building boats!

Now fifty years on and some 50,000+ boats later, International Marine are still boat building at their original Caribbean Gardens factory in the outer eastern Melbourne suburb of Scoresby. Proudly, still Australian made and sold all over the world.
