FAQ

What types of vessels are sold at Australian marine auctions?
Everything from small tinnies and jet skis to trailer boats, cruisers, sailboats, and commercial working vessels. Common sources include bank repossessions, deceased estates, and government/commercial fleet disposals.

Are marine surveys required before bidding?
Auction vessels are typically sold as-is without a survey. For anything above a tinny, a pre-purchase marine survey is strongly recommended. Arrange this during the inspection period before the auction closes.

What should I check before bidding on a boat?
Hull condition, engine hours and service history, trailer condition, registration status, and any finance encumbrances (check PPSR). Ask the auctioneer for any available service records.

How is a boat transferred after purchase?
Marine registration varies by state. The auctioneer will provide the transfer paperwork; you’ll need to register the vessel in your name with your state maritime authority.

Rod’s Tips

Inspect in person if at all possible. Boat condition is difficult to assess from photos alone. Water damage, osmotic blistering, and engine wear are hard to spot without a hands-on look. Attend the preview day and bring a knowledgeable friend if you’re not experienced with boats.

Factor on-costs into your budget. Beyond the hammer price and buyer’s premium, budget for mooring or storage, insurance, registration transfer, and any compliance work. A cheap boat can become an expensive boat quickly.

Bank repossession auctions offer genuine value. Repossessed vessels are typically sold without reserve. The bank wants its money back, not a profit — which creates buying opportunities for well-prepared bidders who’ve done their homework.

  • Cattle, Boat & Plant Trailers

    Cattle, Boat & Plant Trailers

    Sun 9 Aug 2026 • Milperra, NSW • 12 lots • Grays Online

    A range of unused trailers is hitting the auction block in Milperra, NSW, with Grays handling the sale. The standout lots include a 2026 galvanised dual axle 12′ x 6′ cattle trailer, a 2025 tipper cage trailer, and a heavy duty galvanised dual axle boat trailer.

    More detail

    If you’re in the market for new towing gear, this one’s got the lot. All the featured units are listed as unused, meaning you’re effectively getting brand-new stock without the dealership hold-up. The 2026 cattle trailer is built for the job with a galvanised dual axle setup, while the 2025 10X6 tipper cage trailer is ready for work on the farm or the building site.

    The 2026 galvanised box with cage steps it up with a 3,400kg ATM, so it’s a solid option for heavier loads. And for the water lovers, the 2025 heavy duty galvanised boat trailer rounds out the lineup. With 12 lots total and a close date still to be confirmed, it’s worth checking the listing now to suss out what you want. There’s no word yet on whether all 12 are in the same condition, but the featured trailers are all unused, which is a strong start.

  • NSW (Milperra) Boat Auction 04/08

    NSW (Milperra) Boat Auction 04/08

    Mon 10 Aug 2026 • Milperra, NSW • 4 lots • Grays Online

    A lineup of four boats heads to auction in Milperra, NSW, with Grays handling the sale. The pick of the bunch includes a 2003 Whittley Cruiser 660 and a Huntsman Xscape 190, plus a couple of alloy cabin runabouts from Monark and Savage.

    More detail

    The Whittley Cruiser 660 is the headline act here, a proper family cruiser with the kind of fibreglass build that holds up well if it’s been looked after. The Huntsman Xscape 190 is another fibreglass option, more of a day boat or ski rig, while the two alloy boats, a Monark Star Craft 4.9m half cabin and a Savage Alumacraft cabin runabout, suit buyers after something lighter and easier to tow.

    All four lots are closing on 10 August, so there’s time to do the homework. Check the photos and any service records before bidding, especially on the outboards, because a boat like this can be a bargain or a money pit depending on how the previous owner treated the engine. If you’re after a project or a ready-to-go rig, this sale covers both ends.

  • Online - Grays - NSW Trucks And Boats Auction (Milperra)

    Online – Grays – NSW Trucks And Boats Auction (Milperra)

    Mon 10 Aug 2026 • Milperra, NSW • 4 lots • Grays Online

    A mixed lot of trucks and marine gear is hitting the online auction block through Grays, based out of Milperra, NSW. The standout picks include a 1998 Mitsubishi Fighter FM600 6×2, a 2001 Hino FB4J 4×2 tray truck, a VIP Vivian 184 bowrider, and a 2018 Yamaha GP1800 jet ski.

    More detail

    The Mitsubishi Fighter is the heavyweight here, a proper 6×2 workhorse for anyone needing a serious hauler without paying new-truck money. The Hino FB4J tray truck is the more nimble option, suited to local deliveries or site work where a smaller footprint counts. Both are older units, so check the service history and rust spots before bidding.

    On the water side, the VIP Vivian 184 bowrider is a solid family ski boat, while the 2018 Yamaha GP1800 is the modern thrill machine of the lot. The jet ski is the youngest item and likely to draw the most attention, so factor in a realistic top bid if you want it.

    Bidding closes August 10, and with only four lots, this one moves fast. Inspections are your friend here, especially on the trucks, so get in touch with Grays if you need a closer look before the deadline.

  • 2018 Yamaha GP1800 Jet Ski

    2018 Yamaha GP1800 Jet Ski

    Mon 10 Aug 2026 • Milperra, NSW • Grays Online

    A Yamaha GP1800 jet ski is sitting at $5,200 right now, part of a big watercraft clearance with Grays Online. The lot list also includes powerboats and other jet skis, all spread across the Milperra, NSW area, so there’s plenty to pick through if you’re after a deal on the water.

    More detail

    This one’s a standalone boat lot from Grays Online’s ongoing auction, and the Yamaha GP1800 is the headline act. It’s a used unit, and the current bid reflects that, but for someone chasing a proven performance ski, it’s worth a close look. The GP1800 is a solid choice for pulling skiers or just getting out on the harbour, and with 301 images on the listing, you can check the condition thoroughly before committing.

    Beyond the Yamaha, the broader auction covers a mix of powerboats and jet skis, so if you’re after a runabout or a second ski for the family, there’s likely something here. Grays runs these listings across multiple locations, but Milperra is the one to focus on for this lot. Bidding’s already active, so check the close time on the individual lot and have your max number ready. No reserve games here, just a straight auction on used gear.

  • VIP Vivian 184 Bowrider Boat

    VIP Vivian 184 Bowrider Boat

    Mon 10 Aug 2026 • Milperra, NSW • Grays Online

    A 2016 VIP Vivian 184 Bowrider is sitting at $10,000 with the reserve already met, so it’s a live chance for a decent runabout. This is a single-lot Grays Online auction out of Milperra, NSW, and it’s a proper family ski boat, not a tinny.

    More detail

    The VIP Vivian 184 is a solid fibreglass bowrider, built for towing skiers and tubing without breaking a sweat. It’s powered by a sterndrive setup, which gives you better handling and fuel economy than a lot of outboard rivals in this size. The 18-foot hull is roomy enough for a crew of six, and the bow seating means the kids aren’t crammed in the back.

    Grays has this listed as a used unit, and the current bid reflects that. The reserve is met, so the seller is committed to letting it go at this price or better. If you’re after a weekend boat for the harbour or the Hawkesbury, this is worth a look before the timer runs out. Check the photos carefully for wear on the upholstery and any service records, as is standard with private-sale-style listings through this platform.

  • Stacer Runabout

    Stacer Runabout

    Mon 10 Aug 2026 • Carlton, NSW • Grays Online

    A used Stacer runabout is sitting at $301 right now, with plenty of watercraft to follow in this Grays Online sale. The lot list includes powerboats, jet skis, and assorted marine gear, so there’s room to pick up a solid hull without stretching the budget.

    More detail

    This one’s a single boat lot from Grays Online, based out of Carlton, NSW. The Stacer runabout is the headline here, and it’s a brand that holds up well in salt and fresh water alike. At $301, it’s still in the low end of the bidding, which leaves room for a bargain if you’re after a project or a weekend rig.

    The wider auction covers more than just this runabout. Powerboats and jet skis are coming through as individual lots, so you’re not forced into a package deal. That’s handy if you only need one hull or a specific PWC. Check the photos carefully, as condition varies lot to lot. The close date is listed as TBC, so keep checking back for the final countdown. If you’re in the market for marine gear, this one’s worth a close look.

  • Searay 315 Boat

    Searay 315 Boat

    Date TBC • Yennora, NSW • Grays Online

    A Searay 315 is up for individual sale in Yennora, NSW, with Grays handling the listing. This is a solid mid-size cruiser, so check the hull and engine hours before bidding.

    More detail

    The Searay 315 is a proper offshore-capable cruiser, not a tinny. You’re looking at a boat built for weekend runs and overnight trips, with a cabin setup that handles sloppy weather better than most bowriders. Grays has it listed as a single lot, so no need to wade through a multi-vessel package.

    Powerboats, jet skis, and other watercraft are also rolling through the same auction window, but this Searay is the headline act. If you’re serious, factor in a pre-purchase inspection and a trailer check, because moving a 31-footer isn’t a casual job. The close date is 10 August 2026, so there’s time to do your homework, but don’t leave it to the last minute.

  • Huntsman Xscape 190

    Huntsman Xscape 190

    Date TBC • Milperra, NSW • Grays Online

    A 2023 Huntsman Xscape 190 is going to auction in Milperra, NSW, with Grays Online handling the sale. This one’s a proper Australian-built plate alloy boat, and it’s listed as a single lot, not part of a mixed clearance.

    More detail

    The Huntsman Xscape 190 is a serious bit of kit for anyone chasing a versatile offshore or bay runner. Built with welded 5mm plate alloy, it’s designed to take a pounding, and the 190 hull is known for a dry, stable ride. This lot includes the boat itself, and you’ll want to check the full listing for what’s bolted on, but expect the usual fit-out for this model, like casting decks, rod holders, and a decent livewell.

    Grays is running this as part of their online watercraft sale, so you’re bidding against other boaties, not dealers. The close date is set for 10 August 2026, which gives you time to do your homework. If you’re after a tough, no-frills trailer boat that holds its value, this is worth a serious look. Inspections are typically available before the close, so get down there and check the welds, transom, and trailer condition before you commit.

  • 2003 Whittley Cruiser 660

    2003 Whittley Cruiser 660

    Date TBC • Milperra, NSW • Grays Online

    A 2003 Whittley Cruiser 660 is up in Milperra, NSW, with Grays Online handling the sale. This one’s a proper family runabout, and it’s part of a bigger watercraft clearance, so expect powerboats and jet skis alongside it. The Cruiser 660 packs a cabin, decent deck space, and a hull built for coastal and bay work, not just river puttering. Check the photos for the outboard condition and any wear on the upholstery before bidding.

    More detail

    The 2003 Whittley Cruiser 660 is the standout in this marine-only lot. Whittley built these with a solid glass hull and a deep-V entry, so it handles chop better than a lot of similar-sized bows. The 660 model gives you a compact cabin with a berth, plus a self-draining cockpit, which makes it practical for overnighters or just a long day on the water. If the original powerplant is still on the transom, you’re looking at a well-proven package, likely a 150hp outboard, but confirm the hours and service history from the listing photos.

    Grays has grouped this with other watercraft in a rolling format, so the bidding window for this boat closes on 10 August 2026. The Cruiser is a single lot, so don’t expect trailers or extras unless they’re shown in the images. Milperra pickup means you’ll need to arrange transport, and check the registration status if you plan to tow it straight to the ramp. For a buyer after a genuine Australian-built plate boat with cabin comfort, this one’s worth a close look before the timer runs down.

  • 2006 Bayliner 175 Bowrider

    2006 Bayliner 175 Bowrider

    Date TBC • Milperra, NSW • Grays Online

    A 2006 Bayliner 175 Bowrider is up as a single boat lot with Grays Online, based out of Milperra, NSW. This one’s a solid entry-level runabout with a 3.0L MerCruiser petrol engine, ideal for lake or river work. Check the photos for upholstery and hull condition before you bid.

    More detail

    This Bayliner 175 is a classic family bowrider, and it’s listed as an individual lot rather than bundled with other gear. The 175 hull is known for a forgiving ride and decent storage, and the MerCruiser 3.0L is a simple, cheap-to-maintain four-cylinder that sips fuel compared to V6 options. If the trailer is included, that’s a big plus for getting it home without extra cost.

    Grays is running this as part of a broader watercraft clearance, so expect the auction to move at its own pace. Inspect the deck for soft spots, check the transom for cracks, and ask about service history on the outdrive. The close date is 17 August 2026, so you’ve got time to do your homework, but don’t leave it to the last minute to register.

  • 2011 Blue Fin Catfish 3.65m Alloy Punt and Trailer

    2011 Blue Fin Catfish 3.65m Alloy Punt and Trailer

    Date TBC • Bathurst, NSW • Grays Online

    A tidy 2011 Blue Fin Catfish 3.65m alloy punt with trailer is up in Bathurst, NSW, through Grays. It’s a practical little tinny for river fishing or a weekend run, and the trailer’s included so you can tow it straight home.

    More detail

    This is a single-boat lot pulled from Grays’ broader watercraft clearance, which has been rotating through powerboats, jet skis, and assorted gear. The Catfish is a solid entry-level alloy punt, light enough for a standard car to tow, and the 3.65m length suits sheltered waterways rather than open ocean.

    The trailer is the key part here, as bare hulls often sell cheap but cost plenty to move. Check the trailer’s rego and bearing condition before bidding, and factor in a possible service on the punt if it’s been sitting. No motor is listed, so this one’s for buyers who already have a small outboard or want to fit their own.

    Bathurst is a fair drive from the coast, but that can work in your favour, fewer locals chasing a tinny compared to Sydney or Newcastle auctions. Bid with the trailer in mind, and you could end up with a decent project boat for not much coin.

  • Savage Alumacraft Cabin Runabout

    Savage Alumacraft Cabin Runabout

    Date TBC • Milperra, NSW • Grays Online

    A 2016 Savage Alumacraft cabin runabout is up for individual sale in Milperra, NSW, through Grays Online. It’s part of a larger marine auction that’s also putting powerboats and jet skis on the block, so if you’re after a solid family rig or a weekend toy, this one’s worth a look.

    More detail

    The Savage Alumacraft is the pick of the watercraft lots here, a proper cabin runabout built for protected bays and rivers rather than offshore work. It’s the kind of boat that suits a first-time buyer or someone wanting a tidy, no-fuss package without chasing a dealer. The cabin gives you shelter from the breeze, and the layout is straightforward: open cockpit, basic galley potential, and enough room for a small crew.

    Grays is running this as a rolling auction, so the close date is a guide, not a hard stop. That means you’ll want to check the listing close to the day, because the timer can shift. The lot list is light on specifics, but the photos and description should tell you the engine hours and trailer condition, which are the two things that matter most on a boat like this. If the trailer is included, factor that into your bid, because moving a runabout without one is a pain.

    For anyone in Sydney’s southwest, Milperra is a straightforward pickup, and Grays has handled marine gear long enough that the transfer process is smooth. Just be ready to inspect before the close, because once the hammer drops, it’s yours, warts and all. If you’re chasing a cheap entry into boating, this Alumacraft could be the one.

  • Monark Star Craft 4.9m Half Cabin Boat

    Monark Star Craft 4.9m Half Cabin Boat

    Date TBC • Milperra, NSW • Grays Online

    A 4.9m Monark Star Craft half cabin boat is up for individual sale in Milperra, NSW, through Grays Online. It’s part of a broader watercraft lineup, so if you’re after a solid family tinny with cabin protection, this one’s worth a look before the close date of 10 August 2026.

    More detail

    This is a proper half cabin setup, which gives you shelter up front without turning the boat into a floating caravan. The 4.9m length suits estuary and river work, and the Star Craft hull is known for handling chop better than most plate alloy tinnies of this size. You’re not getting a brand-new showroom rig here, but for a secondhand buy, it’s a practical base for a weekend fishing or skiing rig.

    Grays is running this as part of a larger watercraft auction, so expect powerboats, jet skis, and other towables nearby if you’re loading up a trailer. Check the photos for wear on the transom, floor, and any signs of saltwater corrosion, as these are the usual weak points on older half cabins. Also confirm whether the trailer is included, as that’s often the difference between a bargain and a logistics headache. Bidding closes on 10 August, so get your inspection sorted early.

South Australia

  • 2023 Stacer 449 Assault Pro Runabout Boat

    2023 Stacer 449 Assault Pro Runabout Boat

    Mon 10 Aug 2026 • Kilkenny SA • 1 lots • mgs

    A complete 2023 Stacer 449 Assault Pro package is up at mgs in Kilkenny SA, and it’s ready to go from boat to trailer. You’re getting the 15ft alloy hull with a 60hp Yamaha four-stroke, plus a 2022 Telwater single-axle trailer with reg until October 2026.

    More detail

    This is a turn-key runabout setup, not a project. The Stacer 449 Assault Pro features the Alloy Revolution V-hull design, a fold-away sun shade, underfloor 24L fuel tank, and underfloor storage. It seats four and comes with a weather cover. The Yamaha outboard is a 60hp high-thrust model with a 20-inch long shaft, electric start, and a set of keys. Battery is included.

    The trailer is a 2022 Telwater alloy single-axle, GVM 998kg, with alloy wheels, a spare, jockey wheel, and a hand-operated cable winch. It’s registered until 26 October 2026, which saves you the immediate hassle. No GST applies to this lot.

    The boat, motor, and trailer are all listed together as one lot. If you want a tested package without chasing separate bits, this is the one to inspect. Usual auction conditions apply, and the Adelaide-based auction house has been running these sales since 1980, so the process is straightforward.

Queensland

  • 2004 Mustang 2800 Series 3

    2004 Mustang 2800 Series 3

    Mon 10 Aug 2026 • Pinkenba, QLD • Grays Online

    A 2004 Mustang 2800 Series 3 is on the block in Pinkenba, QLD, via Grays Online. This one’s a proper cabin cruiser, not a tinny, so expect serious fibreglass and a decent-sized cockpit.

    More detail

    The Mustang 2800 Series 3 is a solid all-rounder for anyone after a family-friendly weekender or a serious fishing platform. It’s a 2004 model, so you’re looking at a well-established hull design that’s proven itself in Australian conditions. The 2800 series was built for coastal work, with a deep-V hull and plenty of freeboard, so it won’t shy away from a bit of chop.

    This lot is part of Grays Online’s watercraft clearance, which includes powerboats, jet skis, and other marine gear. If you’re in the market for a boat, it’s worth checking the full listing for condition reports and any photos of the deck, motor, and trailer. The 2800 typically runs a single outboard, and with a 2004 build, you’ll want to factor in servicing or potential repower costs depending on hours and maintenance history.

    Buyers should inspect what’s available before bidding, especially for things like transom integrity, upholstery, and electronics. It’s a private sale style auction, so no dealer hand-holding, but the price could be sharp if you do your homework. The auction closes on 10 August 2026, so there’s time to line up a pre-purchase inspection.

  • UNRESERVED - 1991 Sea Ray 270 Sundancer

    UNRESERVED – 1991 Sea Ray 270 Sundancer

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    A 1991 Sea Ray 270 Sundancer is going to auction with no reserve, so the first real bid takes it. The boat is sitting at Pacific Point Marina on the Gold Coast, and marine auctioneers are running the online sale from Brisbane.

    More detail

    This is a proper weekender, not a project boat. The 270 Sundancer is a well-regarded cruiser from Sea Ray’s golden era, with a cabin that actually sleeps four, a small galley, and a head. If the lot list is anything to go by, you’re looking at a single-engine setup with outdrives, likely a Mercruiser, and the sort of layout that suits bay runs and overnighters more than offshore heroics.

    The auction runs from Tuesday 25 August to Monday 31 August 2026, closing at 2pm AEST. Bidding is online only, and the auctioneer is pushing hard for an inspection before you commit. That’s standard for a boat this age, but with no reserve, the condition is everything. Check the hull for blistering, give the engine bay a proper look, and test every switch on the dash.

    Pacific Point Marina is a decent spot to view it, and the Gold Coast location means it’s likely been used for estuary and coastal cruising rather than hard commercial work. If the photos and inspection stack up, this could be a cheap entry into twin-cabin boating, but you’ve got to do your homework before the hammer drops.

  • UNRESERVED - 1980 Mariner 39

    UNRESERVED – 1980 Mariner 39

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    A 1980 Mariner 39 is going to auction with no reserve, and it’s sitting up in Cairns. This is a proper bluewater cruiser, so expect a full keel, heavy displacement, and a layout built for serious passages, not just weekend harbour hops.

    More detail

    The auctioneer has this listed as unreserved, which means the highest bid takes it, no matter how low that lands. Given the age and the fact it’s a Mariner 39, you’re looking at a solid fibreglass hull from a respected Taiwanese builder, a design known for its seakeeping ability and volume down below. The current condition is the big unknown, so the inspection in Cairns is strongly recommended before you commit.

    While the lot list hasn’t been published, a boat of this vintage and style typically carries a decent inventory of sails, ground tackle, and engine spares. The key here is the hull and rig condition, so factor in a surveyor’s report if you’re serious. Bidding opens on Tuesday, 25 August 2026 and runs through to Monday, 31 August 2026, finishing at 2pm AEST. Get your own inspection done, know your budget, and be ready to move when the timer starts.

  • UNRESERVED - 1994 Robertson 9.45m Cruiser/Racer SV Sloop

    UNRESERVED – 1994 Robertson 9.45m Cruiser/Racer SV Sloop

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    A 1994 Robertson 9.45m cruiser/racer sloop is heading to online auction, and it’s unreserved. The yacht, listed by marine, is sitting in Manly, Queensland, and comes with a full sail wardrobe, in-mast furling, and a Yammar diesel, so it’s ready to sail away rather than sit as a project.

    More detail

    This is a proper offshore-capable cruiser/racer, not a harbour toy. The Robertson 9.45m is a known quantity in Australian waters, and this one has been set up for shorthanded sailing with in-mast mainsail furling and a furling headsail. You’re looking at a boat that can handle a coastal passage or a club race without needing a full crew to manage the canvas.

    The lot list includes the usual deck gear, safety equipment, and ground tackle, but the standout is the engine. A Yammar diesel with low hours is a big tick for anyone who wants to avoid a repower bill in the first year. The interior is laid out for cruising, so there’s a proper galley, heads, and quarter berths, not just a stripped-out race shell.

    Inspection is highly recommended, and given it’s unreserved, the final price will reflect what the room is willing to pay, not what the owner hopes to get. Bidding opens on Tuesday, 25 August 2026 and closes Monday, 31 August 2026 at 2pm AEST. If you’re serious, get down to Manly and poke around before you commit.

  • UNRESERVED - 1996 Radford R400 Cutter Sloop

    UNRESERVED – 1996 Radford R400 Cutter Sloop

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    A 1996 Radford R400 cutter sloop is heading to online auction with no reserve, out of Tin Can Bay. Marine Auctions Brisbane is running the bidding from 25 August, closing 31 August at 2pm AEST, and this one’s worth a hard look for anyone chasing a serious bluewater cruiser without the usual price tag.

    More detail

    The Radford R400 is a well-regarded Australian design, and this example looks to be set up for real sailing, not just marina living. The cutter rig gives you flexibility in heavy weather, and the 1996 build means it’s got solid bones without the premium of a newer boat. Inspection is highly recommended, and given it’s unreserved, the final price will come down to who turns up on the day.

    Key details to weigh up: the R400’s reputation for a comfortable motion at sea, decent headroom down below, and a layout that suits extended cruising. If the lot list includes sails, electronics, or a recent engine service, those will be the items to focus on during a pre-bid inspection. Don’t expect a showroom finish, but do expect a boat that’s ready to be sailed away if the previous owner has kept up with maintenance.

    Bidding opens on Tuesday, 25 August 2026, and runs through to Monday, 31 August 2026. With no reserve, the risk is low to bid, but the reward depends on how closely you check the hull, rig, and systems beforehand. Get down to Tin Can Bay for a look if you’re serious, because online photos only tell half the story.

  • Overdue Storage: AB Nautilus 13 DLX Inflatable RIB

    Overdue Storage: AB Nautilus 13 DLX Inflatable RIB

    Date TBC • Coolum, QLD • Grays Online

    A tidy AB Nautilus 13 DLX inflatable RIB is up in Coolum, QLD, through Grays Online. This one’s a proper tender or tow-behind, with the hypalon build and rigid hull that make these boats a solid buy if the price stays sensible.

    More detail

    This overdue storage listing is a single boat lot, but it’s part of a bigger Grays Online watercraft clearance that’s pulling in powerboats, jet skis, and other RIBs. The AB Nautilus 13 DLX is a well-regarded 4.2m inflatable with a deep-V fibreglass hull, so it handles chop better than a soft-floor blow-up. If the tubes hold air and the transom’s sound, you’re looking at a versatile rig for estuary runs, diving, or as a yacht tender.

    Check the photos for wear on the fabric, especially around the seams and keel, and factor in the cost of a trailer if one isn’t included. Grays rolling auctions mean the close time can shift with late bids, so treat the listed date as a guide, not a guarantee. Bidders who’ve done this before know to inspect in person if possible, and to have a tow vehicle sorted before the gavel drops.

  • 1998 Riviera Platinum 39 Open Flybridge

    1998 Riviera Platinum 39 Open Flybridge

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    A 1998 Riviera Platinum 39 Open Flybridge is up for auction through marine, listed from Brisbane QLD. This 39-foot cruiser comes with twin diesel Volvo Penta engines and a full electronics suite including GPS, radar, and autopilot.

    More detail

    This is a well-known Australian build for serious offshore work. The Riviera 39 Open Flybridge has a solid reputation for handling rough conditions, and this example has been kept in Port Lincoln, South Australia. Inspection is highly recommended given the age and location.

    The boat features a full flybridge with bimini, a spacious cockpit with boarding platform, and a well-laid-out cabin with two berths. Electronics include a Garmin GPSMAP 5212, Furuno radar, and a Simrad autopilot. The galley is equipped with a stove, microwave, and fridge. Mechanicals include a generator and shore power.

    Bidding opens Tuesday, 25 August 2026 and closes Monday, 31 August 2026 at 2pm AEST. Given the Riviera pedigree and the condition unknowns, a pre-bid inspection in Port Lincoln is the smart play.

  • 2007 Dufour 40

    2007 Dufour 40

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    A 2007 Dufour 40 set up for extended passage making is going to online auction, with the vessel currently located in Fiji and the sale run by marine out of Brisbane QLD. The fitout includes a furling main, electric winches, and a full batten main, plus a bow thruster and a watermaker for self-sufficient cruising.

    More detail

    This Dufour 40 has been prepped for serious offshore work, not just harbour hopping. The practical upgrades include a removable inner forestay for a storm jib or staysail, plus a Monitor wind vane for backup steering. On deck, you get electric Lewmar halyard and sheet winches, a Raymarine ST60+ wind instrument, and a new Garmin GPSMAP 922 chartplotter at the helm. The furling main and Profurl headsail furler make short-handed sail handling straightforward.

    Below decks, the boat comes with a full inventory for liveaboard cruising. A 12V fridge-freezer, two-burner gimballed stove with oven, and a Force 10 cabin heater cover the essentials. The electrical system runs on 440Ah of house batteries with a Victron Multiplus 3000VA inverter charger and 380W of solar panels. Water is handled by a Spectra watermaker, and there is a 12V freshwater pump with accumulator tank. The engine is a Volvo Penta D2-55 with 2,200 hours, and the sail drive was serviced in 2025.

    The online auction opens Tuesday 25 August 2026 and closes Monday 31 August 2026 at 2pm AEST. Given the boat is in Fiji, any buyer will need to factor in transport or a delivery sail back to Australia. The setup suggests a vendor who has already spent on the gear that makes extended cruising manageable.

    UNRESERVED – 2002 Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 40

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    A 2002 Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 40 is up for auction, listed through marine and moored in Brisbane QLD. This is a serious cruising yacht with a solid fibreglass hull, a Volvo Penta engine, and a full inventory including sails, electronics, and galley gear.

    More detail

    The owner is based in the UK and wants this sold, so inspection is highly recommended before bidding starts. The boat itself is located in Yamba, New South Wales, not Brisbane, so factor in transport if you’re buying from further afield.

    Bidding opens Tuesday, 25 August 2026 and closes Monday, 31 August 2026 at 2pm AEST. Given the vendor’s location and the need for a clean sale, this one should attract attention from anyone looking for a proven bluewater cruiser without the usual dealer hold. Check the lot list for the full gear inventory, but expect a turnkey setup for coastal or offshore passages.

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    A custom 22-foot timber motor launch from 1920 is going to online auction, with bidding opening on 23 July 2026. The boat, listed by marine and located in Manly, Brisbane, is a classic timber vessel that needs a close look before you bid.

    More detail

    This is a restoration project or a chance to own a piece of maritime history. The 1920 build means old-school timber construction, and the auctioneer stresses inspection is highly recommended. You are buying sight unseen at your own risk if you skip it.

    Bidding starts on Thursday, 23 July 2026 and closes on Wednesday, 29 July 2026 at 2pm AEST. Get down to Manly to check the hull, timber condition, and any fittings. With no reserve listed, the final price depends entirely on who turns up to bid.

    UNRESERVED – 1956 Alby Prior 42 Moreton Bay Timber Cruiser “Werona”

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    A 1956 Alby Prior 42 Moreton Bay timber cruiser “Werona” is heading to online auction through marine. This classic vessel comes with a Yanmar 4JH3-TE diesel engine, a Garmin GPSMAP 4212 chartplotter, and a full suite of safety gear including life raft and EPIRB.

    More detail

    This is a genuine piece of Queensland maritime history. Built by renowned shipwright Alby Prior, the 42-foot Moreton Bay cruiser “Werona” has been a familiar sight in local waters. The timber hull and superstructure are complemented by a recent refit that includes a new fuel tank, upgraded electrical system, and fresh anti-foul.

    Bidding opens on Thursday, 23 July 2026 and closes on Wednesday, 29 July 2026 at 2pm AEST. The boat is currently moored at Raby Bay, Brisbane, and inspection is highly recommended. Serious buyers should factor in the cost of a professional survey and transport. This is a live-aboard capable vessel with a separate shower, galley, and two berths, making it suitable for extended cruising or as a floating weekender.

    National Online Salvage Caravans, Recreational & Marine

    Wed 12 Aug 2026 • Various Locations, NAT • 134 lots • Pickles

    A stack of salvage caravans and campers is going to online auction, spanning everything from late-model Crusaders to older Jaycos. Pickles is running it nationally, with bids open until August 12th. The standout early pick is a 2022 Crusader Musketeer, but there’s also a 2021 Opus OP4 and a 2013 Humpback Smartvan if you want something different.

    More detail

    This is a salvage-title auction, so the condition will vary wildly from lot to lot. The Crusader Musketeers from 2021 and 2022 are the obvious headline acts, but the 2019 MDC and the 2020 Stoney Creek Campers Scout 14 are worth a serious look if you’re chasing an off-road style rig. The older stuff, like the 2001 Jayco Westport and the 1999 Coromal Seka 505, could be a cheap entry point if you’re handy with repairs or just need a project.

    The marine side is mixed in as well, so don’t expect a clean, uniform lineup. Some lots are listed without a certificate of compliance or are single-axle camper trailers, which means you’ll need to do your homework on rego and roadworthiness before bidding. Pickles has photos and condition reports up for each lot, but with salvage stock, assume the worst and bid accordingly.

    Location-wise, this is spread across multiple sites nationally, so factor in transport costs before you get excited. A cheap bid on a caravan in one state can quickly turn into a headache if you’re not set up to move it. Check the lot-specific pickup details early, and work out your budget for haulage before the close date.

  • Motorbike, Marine & Recreation Assets Auction

    Motorbike, Marine & Recreation Assets Auction

    Wed 12 Aug 2026 • Location TBC • 23 lots • Lloyds Auctions

    A mixed bag of boats, caravans, and a serious personal watercraft is going to online auction with Lloyds Auctions, closing 12 August. The standout is a 2025 Yamaha WaveRunner FX Cruiser SVHO with 260hp, but there’s also a 2005 Stabi-Craft Supercab centre cabin, a 2016 LDV V80 motorhome with 72,261km on the clock, and a 1958 timber cabin cruiser for the restoration crowd.

    More detail

    The marine lots are the core of this one, with something for every budget. The 2025 WaveRunner is the headline, barely run-in and ready for summer. If you’d rather stay dry, the 2024 Harvok 48V electric caravan is a modern, quiet option, while the 1999 Spaceline Odyssey Series II is a more traditional, budget-friendly tow-behind. The 2016 LDV V80 motorhome is a genuine tourer, not a weekend conversion, and the km reading suggests plenty of life left.

    For the tinkerers, there are two non-running jet skis that could be a cheap project, plus a circa 1980 fibreglass runabout and a 1990 SeaJay 4.3 BarraBoat. The 2004 Quintrex Breeze About comes with a Tohatsu M40C outboard, which is a solid combo for estuary fishing. The 6.5-metre centre console RIB is the one to watch if you want something seaworthy without paying new prices.

    Lloyds runs this as a multi-lot online auction, so registration and pre-bidding are open now. Check the condition reports on the timber cruiser and the older fibreglass boats carefully, as those are the ones where hidden rot can bite. Everything clears on the one close date, so factor in transport if you’re bidding

    Thu 20 Aug 2026 • Various Locations, NAT • 11 lots • Pickles

    A mixed marine lineup is going to online auction on 20 August, with Pickles running the show across multiple national locations. The 11 lots include three Scania DI16 16.4-litre V8 marine twin-turbo diesels, a 2020 Sea-Doo GTX 255 Limited, a 2022 Quintrex 400 Dart tinny, and a 1982 Sportscraft, plus a QuickShift Twin Disc MGX-5135SC marine transmission and a pallet of assorted engine parts.

    More detail

    The headline act here is the trio of Scania DI16 42M engines. These are serious 16.4-litre V8s with twin turbos, the kind of powerplant you’d find in a large cruiser or commercial vessel, not a weekend runabout. If you’re repowering something substantial or need a reliable spare, this is where the value sits. They’re listed as marine engines, so check service history and hours before bidding, but the potential saving over a new unit is significant.

    For the recreational buyer, the 2020 Sea-Doo GTX 255 Limited is the pick of the personal watercraft. It’s a late-model, high-spec ski with the 255hp Rotax, so it should still have plenty of life left. The 2022 Quintrex 400 Dart is a solid, no-fuss aluminium runabout, ideal for estuary fishing or towing behind the car. The 1982 Sportscraft is a classic fibreglass project or a budget entry into boating, depending on its condition. There’s also a 2014 Mudgway trailer in the mix, which could be the cheap part of a boat-and-trailer combo if you already own a hull.

    Don’t overlook the odd lots. The QuickShift Twin Disc MGX-5135SC marine transmission comes with a crate of engine components, and there’s a separate

    2001 Sea Ray 315 Sundancer/280DA-726

    Date TBC • Sunshine North, VIC • Grays Online

    A 2001 Sea Ray 315 Sundancer/280DA-726 is going to auction in Sunshine North, VIC, via Grays Online. This one’s a proper cruiser, not a tinnie, so expect serious fibreglass and a cabin setup that’s seen some weekends on the water.

    More detail

    This is the standout lot in a broader marine auction that’s putting up powerboats, jet skis, and assorted watercraft. The Sea Ray 315 Sundancer is a well-known American express cruiser, and the 280DA-726 tag suggests it’s been re-badged or re-powered at some point, so check the listing photos and service history closely.

    For buyers, the Sundancer’s appeal is the layout: a full cabin with a V-berth, a small galley, and a head, plus a cockpit designed for fishing or entertaining. The 2001 build means it’s from the era when Sea Ray was still using solid construction and decent hardware, but it’s also 25 years old now, so budget for engine checks, outdrive seals, and any soft spots in the deck.

    The auction closes 10 August 2026, and it’s a single-lot listing, not a fleet clearance. If you’re after a project boat or a liveaboard weekender, this is worth a look, but don’t assume it’s ready to launch. Ask for a survey or an inspection slot before bidding.

  • 1958 Classic Cruiser Custom Built

    1958 Classic Cruiser Custom Built

    Date TBC • Jandakot, WA • Grays Online

    A 1958 classic cruiser, custom built and full of character, is on the block in Jandakot, WA. Grays is offering this single boat lot alongside a broader range of powerboats, jet skis, and watercraft, so it’s worth digging through the listings for a solid weekender or a project.

    More detail

    This isn’t a production-line runabout. The 1958 Classic Cruiser is a custom build from an era when boats had real timber and personality. It’s the kind of thing you either restore with pride or run as a quirky river queen, depending on your patience and budget. The hull and layout will appeal to anyone who appreciates vintage lines over modern plastic.

    Beyond this cruiser, Grays has grouped it with a mixed catalogue of marine gear. You’ll find powerboats ranging from tinnies to offshore rigs, plus jet skis and other watercraft. That means if this particular boat doesn’t suit, there’s likely something else in the same sale that will. Check the condition reports closely, as older custom builds can hide surprises in the stringers and transom.

    Buyers should factor in transport from Jandakot, as this isn’t a trailer-sailer you can just hitch up without checking the trailer. If you’re chasing a classic with genuine curb appeal, or just a cheap way onto the water, this lot is worth a look. The close date is still to be confirmed, so keep checking the listing for the exact cutoff.
