The Yacht Sales Co Sail Paradise is one of the Gold Coast's premier yacht racing events, bringing competitive sailing to the spectacular waters off the city's iconic coastline. Hosted by Southport Yacht Club, Sail Paradise attracts an impressive fleet of racing yachts and crews for a celebration of high-quality bluewater racing, competition and the Gold Coast sailing lifestyle. In 2026, Sail Paradise incorporates the Australian Yachting Championships, bringing sailors from across Australia together to compete for national titles across multiple divisions. Racing takes place against the unmistakable backdrop of the Gold Coast, creating an exciting spectacle both on and off the water. From high-performance racing yachts to passionate crews competing for championship honours, the event showcases the strength and diversity of Australian sailing. Sail Paradise combines serious racing with the relaxed atmosphere of the Gold Coast, supported by an onshore program at Southport Yacht Club. It is a major fixture on the Australian sailing calendar and an opportunity to experience championship yacht racing in one of Queensland's most recognisable coastal destinations.
