In 10 years we have sold '000's of boats and serviced/repaired more than 3,000 of them, with many of our clients repeat buyers.

Recently Patrick Delany of Sydney (CEO Fox Sports) just purchased his 2000 model Caribbean Boat over the internet from us because he knows of our exceptional reputation and wonderful service!

Our clients are busy people who don't always have the time and expertise to solve boating problems. So that's exactly where we fit in.....You can trust our entire team of marine professionals to take the hassle out of boating. Our expertise takes all of the worry out of boat ownership, from the time you purchase your boat from us, boat handling lessons, ongoing service, repairs, fuel and regular washing and cleaning. It's our full service, concierge style offering - that is really appealing. After all, boat owners just want to be on the water living the dream - Life's Too Short.

Being based on-water at St Kilda Marina, means total convenience for owners and a high level of comfort in dealing with ourselves as industry experts, for the life-time of boat ownership. We have a team of highly skilled and customer focused marine professionals, who can assist to identify and solve boating problems. Never underestimate the importance of our bay testing in the real-world conditions of Port Phillip Bay - every boat we service and repair, before we hand her back to the owner. Now that's genuine peace-of-mind!

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.
