With premium boat broker Flagstaff Marine joining the marina's community of businesses, Beneteau now has a fifth home on the eastern seaboard.

Setting the industry standard worldwide, French manufacturer Beneteau produces elegant and powerful sailing yachts and motor boats of enduring quality.

One of the oldest and most innovative boat-building companies in the world, Beneteau is also renowned for its exceptional, customer service.

An outlet based in Port Stephens gives Beneteau buyers in NSW a convenient option outside of Sydney for purchasing their sail or power boat.

Buyers can easily fly into Newcastle airport where they will be collected by a Flagstaff Marine team member and be at their office in Soldiers Point just 30 minutes later.

Current Beneteau owners-and Flagstaff Marine customers-also benefit from the new Port Stephens office as it gives them an additional port of call along the east coast.

The new office also provides residents of Port Stephens and the wider Hunter region with access to experienced and professional advice for buying and selling a wide range of second-hand boats.

As well as a Beneteau broker in residence at the marina, a beautiful Beneteau vessel has joined the marina's fleet of luxury boats for charter or membership.

SailTime Port Stephens, also based at Soldiers Point Marina, has a variety of options for aspiring mariners to try boating on their stunning 35ft Swift Trawler, Independence, without all the expense, hassle and commitment of full-time boat ownership.

Independence joins Liberty, a spectacular 38ft Jeanneau sailboat also available through SailTime Port Stephens.

Soldiers Point Marina (SPM) is one of only seven marinas in the world to be awarded Platinum Anchor accreditation under the Global Gold Anchor Scheme, recognising its commitment to delivering the highest level of customer service.
