Inside This Week’s Boat & Marine Auctions – 37 Upcoming Sales inc Abalone Dive Boats, Flybridge Cruisers & Fishing Boats

This individual lot is part of Grays Online’s watercraft roster, which also pulls in powerboats, jet skis, and assorted towables. The Stacer Kill Fish is a proven offshore-capable hull, and the Shimano gear suggests the previous owner wasn’t mucking about.

Buyers should check the listing for engine hours and trailer condition, as those are the usual weak points on ex-fishing boats. Dandenong South pickup means you’ll want a tow vehicle and a clear day to inspect before bidding. If the hull’s clean and the motor’s been serviced, this could be a cheap entry into serious boating.

This is a single-boat lot, not a mixed clearance, so you’re looking at a near-new Leisure GR-FB02. Leisure’s FB series is built for inland and estuary work, with a shallow-ish draft and decent beam for stability. If the photos show a four-stroke outboard and a galvanised trailer, that’s the package you want to chase.

Grays is running this as part of their ongoing marine disposal program, so expect the usual terms: no test runs, inspect before you bid, and factor in pickup from Dandenong South. The 2025 build means it’s still under factory warranty if the registration paperwork is in order, but confirm that with the listing before you commit.

For buyers, the key is condition and hours. A near-new boat like this usually goes for a solid chunk under retail, but only if the trailer tyres, bearings, and wiring are sound. Check the transom and hull for any signs of hard use, and remember you’re bidding on the boat as-is, not a dealer-prep package.

This one’s a standalone lot in Grays’ marine lineup, which also runs powerboats, jet skis, and smaller watercraft. The Mustang 3200 is a big fibreglass cruiser, built for coastal work and overnight trips. You’re looking at a 1997 model, so check the transom, stringers, and engine hours hard. It’s a 32-footer, meaning it needs a decent tow vehicle and a berth with depth.

The auctioneer’s notes flag it as a single boat lot, so no bundling here, just the one vessel. If the original outboard or stern drive is still fitted, confirm its condition before bidding. Mustangs from this era are solidly built, but age catches up with seals, wiring, and fuel systems. Given it’s at Scarborough, the boat’s likely been in saltwater, so inspect for corrosion and osmosis blisters.

Buyers should also factor in registration and trailer status, neither is confirmed in the listing. If a trailer’s included, that’s a win, but don’t assume it. The auction close date is still TBC, so check the Grays page for the countdown. For anyone chasing a project boat or a budget offshore platform, this Mustang could be worth a look, just do your homework first.

The Stacer Kill Fish is a well-known plate alloy centre console, built for rough water and serious fishing. The 2009 model here comes as a single lot in Grays’ ongoing marine auction, which also includes powerboats, jet skis, and other watercraft. If you’re after a dedicated fishing platform rather than a ski boat, this is worth a close look.

Key things to suss out: the outboard’s condition, hours, and service history, plus any corrosion around the alloy hull. Stacers are tough, but saltwater use can take its toll, so inspect the trailer and bunks too. Grays lists this as part of a rolling sale, so the close date is flexible, meaning you’ll need to monitor the listing for updates. Bidding is straightforward online, but factor in pickup from Dandenong South if you win.

This lot is part of Grays Online’s ongoing watercraft disposal, and it’s a standalone Savage hull rather than a bundle. Savage is a well-known Aussie builder, so if you’re chasing a project boat or a budget runabout, this is worth a closer look.

The listing points to a powerboat setup, which typically means you’re getting the hull, engine, and trailer as a package, but check the photos and any inspection notes before bidding. No confirmed close date yet, so keep an eye on the Grays site for the timer to firm up. If you’re local to Dandenong South, inspection is your best move to suss out the condition.

The Stacer 37 is a no-frills Aussie-built tinnie, known for handling rough water better than its size suggests. This lot looks to be a bare-bones package, so factor in a trailer and outboard if they’re not included. Check the photos for hull condition, especially around the transom and keel, as alloy boats this age can hide stress cracks.

Grays has grouped this with other watercraft in the same rolling sale, so if you miss this one, there’s likely a jet ski or similar boat nearby. The close date is still TBC, so watch the listing for the countdown. If you’re after a project boat or a cheap runabout for weekend trips, this Stacer is worth a look, but do your homework on the rego and any outstanding fees before bidding.

The 1946 Redfin is the headline act here, a slice of maritime history with genuine ex-Navy provenance. It’s a rare chance to pick up a working piece of Australian naval heritage, though buyers should factor in the age and likely restoration needs. On the more practical side, the 2025 Green Pty Ltd dual-axle multi-roller trailer is about as new as it gets, and the 2010 VW Crafter Motorhome offers a ready-to-tour option for someone wanting to skip the build.

For water lovers, the 1996 Blaxell Surfrider with a Mercury 200hp stern drive is a solid classic, while the 6.5m fibreglass RIB centre console with twin engines suits serious offshore work. There’s also a project sailing vessel for those chasing a rebuild, and a Waterways fibreglass runabout around 14-16ft that could be a cheap entry point. On the camping side, the 2016 Black Series Dominator is a well-regarded off-road camper, and the 2016 Stirling SE adds another touring option.

Don’t overlook the tow and haul gear: a 2022 triple axle food trailer and a 2018 Josnet 7×4 Pantec box trailer round out the practical buys. With 12+ lots across marine, vehicles, and recreation, it’s a mixed catalogue that rewards a close

This is a proper working vessel, not a weekend toy. The 7m hull is built for abalone diving, which means it’s set up for real conditions, with aluminium construction that handles the knocks. Being in survey is the big tick here, it saves the next owner the time and cost of getting it certified before putting it to work.

The online auction opens on Thursday, 24 September 2026 and closes Wednesday, 30 September 2026 at 2pm AEST. Inspection is highly recommended, especially if you’re bidding from interstate. Port Lincoln is a long way from Brisbane, so factor in transport costs before you commit. If you know the abalone game, you’ll know this style of boat holds its value when it’s looked after.

The Ranger 44 has a solid reputation as a capable bluewater cruiser, and this 1990 example looks to be no exception. It’s sitting at Redcliffe Marina, which makes inspection straightforward if you’re in southeast Queensland, and the auctioneers are recommending you get down there before bidding starts. The flybridge layout gives you good all-round visibility, and the twin-engine setup should offer decent cruise speeds and manoeuvrability in tight marinas.

Key points to weigh up: the condition of the hull and running gear, the age of the electronics and any recent maintenance records. A boat this age always has a few surprises, so factor in a proper survey if you’re serious. The auction runs from 24 to 30 September, ending at 2pm AEST, so you’ve got time to arrange an inspection and line up your finance. Bidding is online, which means you can track it from anywhere, but don’t leave your final bid to the last minute, the system doesn’t wait for anyone.

The Symbol 41 is a well-regarded Taiwanese-built flybridge cruiser from the late 80s, known for a solid hull and comfortable layout. This example is being sold as a single lot, so you’re bidding on the whole boat, not a share or a project. The flybridge gives good visibility and deck space, and the interior typically runs to two cabins with a decent saloon, making it a realistic liveaboard or weekender.

Grays has this listed alongside other marine gear, so if the big cruiser isn’t your speed, there’s likely smaller stuff worth a look. Check the condition report closely before bidding, as older cruisers can hide issues with engines, electrics, or osmosis. The close date is still to be confirmed, so keep checking the listing if you’re serious.

This is a proper 27-foot bowrider cruiser, the Sundancer being one of Sea Ray’s most popular layouts from that era. You’re looking at a cabin with a V-berth, a small galley, and an enclosed head, which makes it a genuine overnight boat, not just a day tripper. The 270 was built for protected waters and coastal hops, so it suits Queensland conditions well.

The auction is unreserved, meaning the highest bid takes it, no matter what that number ends up being. That’s where the value sits for a buyer who’s done their homework. With the boat moored at Pacific Point Marina, a pre-inspection is the smart play here. Check the engine hours, the outdrive condition, and the upholstery, because a 35-year-old boat will always have a few surprises.

Bidding opens on Tuesday, 25 August 2026 and closes on Monday, 31 August 2026 at 2pm AEST. Online only, so register early and have your finance sorted before the final day. If you’re after a family-sized cruiser without paying dealer prices, this one’s worth a look.

This is a proper bluewater cruiser, not a weekend tinny. The Mariner 39 has a solid reputation for offshore work, and this one is being offered with no reserve, which means the highest bid takes it home. Inspection is highly recommended before you commit, given the age of the vessel and the fact it’s been sitting in tropical conditions up in Cairns.

The online auction kicks off on Tuesday, 25 August 2026 and winds up at 2pm AEST on Monday, 31 August 2026. That gives you a full week to do your homework, arrange a survey if you’re serious, and get a look at the boat in person. Given it’s unreserved, the starting price could be well below market value, but you’ll want to factor in any work needed on a 46-year-old yacht. Check the lot photos and any available condition reports before you bid.

The Robertson 9.45m has a solid reputation as a capable cruiser/racer, and this example looks to be a genuine project for someone wanting a well-sorted hull without the dealer premium. It’s a sloop-rigged fibreglass vessel, and the auction house is pushing hard for an inspection before you bid. Given it’s unreserved, the final price will be whatever the market decides on the day, so do your homework beforehand.

Key details to weigh up: the boat is located at Manly, which is a decent spot for a sea trial if you can arrange it with the auctioneer. The listing notes the auction runs from 25 August to 31 August 2026, closing at 2pm AEST. Check the rigging, engine hours, and sail condition before committing, because there’s no warranty and no second chances once the bidding stops.

For anyone after a 9.45m cruiser/racer, this is one of those auctions where the lack of a reserve can work in your favour, but only if you’ve seen the boat in person. The Robertson name carries weight in Australian yachting circles, so a sound hull with a bit of TLC could be a smart buy. Just factor in transport and any refit costs before you get carried away.

This is a proper offshore rig, not a weekend harbour toy. The Radford R400 is known for solid build quality and real sailing performance, and this example looks to be no exception. Being unreserved means the highest bid takes it, so the final price will come down to who shows up on the day. Bidding kicks off on Tuesday, 25 August 2026 and runs through to Monday, 31 August 2026, closing at 2pm AEST.

Tin Can Bay is a decent drive north of Brisbane, so factor that in if you’re serious. Inspection is highly recommended, especially on a boat of this age. Check the rigging, sails, and engine hours before you commit. The auction house hasn’t listed a full inventory of extras, so get in touch with them directly for the complete picture. If you’re after a capable cruiser and you’re prepared to do your homework, this one could come in well under market.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a clean, fresh lot list for anyone needing serious towing gear without the wait. All the featured units are listed as unused, which is rare for this category. The 2026 cattle trailer is the headline act, built for moving stock with a proper galvanised finish that handles the elements. The 2025 tipper cage trailer is the workhorse pick, ideal for green waste, rubble, or general site clean-up.

The 2026 galvanised dual-axle box trailer with cage, rated at 3,400kg ATM, is a solid all-rounder for fencing supplies or bulky loads. The 2025 boat trailer rounds out the mix, suited to launching and retrieving in salt or fresh water thanks to the galvanised build. With 12 lots total, there’s a size and configuration for most jobs. Buyers should check the close date as it’s yet to be confirmed, and factor in pickup from Milperra before bidding.

This is a single-lot offering from Grays Online’s marine auction lineup, which also includes powerboats, jet skis, and other watercraft. The trawler itself is the standout, offering serious bones for someone after a liveaboard or a restoration challenge. Custom-built in ’77, it’s the kind of vessel that’s had a working life, so expect the usual quirks of a converted hull, including potential engine room surprises and deck corrosion.

Buyers should factor in a thorough pre-auction inspection, especially around the timber or steel structure, depending on how it was originally laid down. The auctioneer hasn’t confirmed a close date yet, so check the listing regularly for the countdown. If you’re after a big-water cruiser without the showroom price, this trawler is worth a look, but only if you’re prepared to put in the sweat equity.

The Whittley 660 is a well-regarded Aussie-built trailer boat, and this 2003 example is the kind of thing that suits estuary fishing, bay cruising, or a weekend on the Hawkesbury. Fibreglass hull, cuddy cabin, and enough room for a crew without feeling cramped. If the lot list shows the standard 5.7-litre V8 or similar, you’re looking at a solid performer that’s cheap to run compared to newer plastic boats.

Grays has grouped this with other marine stock, so if the Whittley doesn’t float your boat, there’s likely a jet ski or smaller tinny nearby. Check the photos for wear on the upholstery and the outdrive, and factor in a trailer check if one’s included. No close date confirmed yet, so it’s worth setting a reminder and watching the listing for when the countdown kicks in.

The 2018 Yamaha GP1800 is one of the faster skis Yamaha has built, with a supercharged four-cylinder motor that pushes hard out of the hole. It’s a proper performance machine, not a putt-putt runabout, so expect firm handling and a ride that rewards experience. This lot is listed as an individual boat, meaning you’re not tied to a package deal, and it’s coming from Grays’ ongoing watercraft sale alongside other jetskis and powerboats.

Buyers should check the condition report closely, as these skis cop a hiding if they’ve been ridden hard. Look for service history, hull damage, and wear on the jet pump. Milperra is south-west Sydney, so it’s a manageable pickup for anyone in the metro area, but factor in trailer costs if you don’t already have one. The auction close date is still TBC, so keep an eye on the listing for the exact finish time.

The Gemini Waverider 505 is a solid entry-level RIB, built for coastal runs, estuary fishing, or towing the kids around on a tube. This one comes as an individual lot, meaning you can bid on it without chasing a package deal. Check the hull and transom for wear, and factor in a trailer if one isn’t included, as these often sell without one.

Grays is running this as part of a rolling watercraft sale, so other lots in the same catalog could be worth a look if you’re after a jet ski or a bigger powerboat. The 505’s alloy floor and Hypalon tubes are tough, but inspect the seams and valve condition before bidding. Somersby pickup means you’ll need to arrange transport, so budget for that if you’re not local.

The Sea Ray 275 Sundancer is a well-regarded weekend cruiser, and this 2002 example gives buyers a shot at a genuine offshore-capable boat without paying new-boat money. The Sundancer line is known for its cabin layout, so you’re getting a decent amount of living space for the size, plus the kind of build quality that’s held its value over two decades.

Grays is running this as part of a broader marine auction, so if the Sundancer isn’t your pick, there are other watercraft in the mix. Check the photos and any service records closely, as these boats often need attention after years in the water, especially the outdrive and upholstery. If you’re after a solid family cruiser or a weekender, this is one to inspect carefully before bidding.

The Capelli Tempest 600 is an Italian-built runabout that punches above its size, and this 2022 example is about as fresh as they come. It’s part of a Grays Online watercraft clearance that also includes powerboats, jet skis, and other toys, so if you’re after a complete setup, you can bundle a towable with this boat in one go.

For the money, you’re getting a modern hull with a deep-V design that handles chop better than most in its class. The 600’s layout is practical too, with a decent beam for stability at rest and enough room to fish or ski without tripping over each other. Check the service history and ask about the engine hours before bidding, but a two-year-old boat like this should have plenty of life left.

Given it’s a Grays rolling auction, the close time can shift as bids roll in, so don’t get caught out. The Mosman location means it’s likely been moored or trailer-stored locally, so inspect for any saltwater wear. If the price stays sensible, this is a quick way into a quality boat that’ll hold its value.

The Doral Monticello 28 is a Canadian-built sports cruiser that punches above its length. You get a full cabin with a double berth, a small galley and a head, so it’s genuinely set up for overnighting. The wide beam and deep freeboard make it a stable platform for the Hawkesbury or Pittwater, and the swim platform is handy for tying up or a quick dip.

Grays has listed this as a single boat lot, but the broader auction includes powerboats, jet skis and assorted watercraft. If the cruiser’s too much boat, there are smaller options that might suit a first-time buyer or someone after a runabout. Check the listing for engine hours and service history before bidding, as these boats are often sold with little mechanical detail. Brooklyn is a straightforward spot for a pre-purchase inspection, and the location means a test run on the river is possible if Grays allows it.

This one’s a straight shooter for anyone after a dedicated fishing rig. The centre console layout gives you clear deck space to move around, which is exactly what you want when you’re fighting a fish or working lines. Fibreglass construction means it’s a solid, repairable hull rather than a flimsy tinny.

Grays Online is running this as part of their broader watercraft listings, so expect the usual online auction process with a set closing window. No word yet on the exact close date, so check the listing regularly if you’re serious. The boat is located in Yarrawonga, NT, so factor in transport costs if you’re not local.

Given it’s a single lot, you won’t be competing against a full clearance sale. That can work in your favour if you’re the only one chasing a decent plate of fibreglass. Just make sure you’ve done your homework on the engine and trailer condition before you bid, because photos won’t tell you everything.
