Who We Are

Sydney Marine Centre (ARK Boat Sales) is a Sydney-based boat dealership specialising in aluminium cabin cruisers from 6 to 10 metres. We work with serious boaters who want a vessel built for Australian conditions — tough, low-maintenance, and ready for everything from Sydney Harbour day trips to offshore coastal passages.

we has deep knowledge of the local marine market and a genuine passion for boating. When you visit our showroom, you're not dealing with a salesperson — you're talking to someone who understands the water.

Why Aluminium Cabin Cruisers?

We specialise in aluminium for good reason. In the Australian marine environment — with its intense UV, salt air, and variable sea conditions — aluminium outperforms fibreglass in almost every category that matters to a long-term boat owner:

• Durability — Aluminium hulls are exceptionally tough and resistant to impact, corrosion, and fatigue.
• Low maintenance — No osmosis, no gelcoat cracking, and significantly less ongoing upkeep than fibreglass.
• Lightweight — Better fuel economy, easier trailering, and more responsive handling on the water.
• Strong resale value — Quality aluminium boats hold their value well in the Australian secondhand market.
• Versatility — Our range suits harbour cruising, river exploring, offshore fishing, and extended coastal passages.

Our Range

Sydney Marine Centre stocks aluminium cabin cruisers across the 6–10 metre range, covering a variety of use cases:

• 6–7 metre models — Compact, trailerable day boats ideal for harbour use, fishing, and family weekends.
• 8–9 metre models — The sweet spot for Sydney boaters. Comfortable overnight cabins, full galley, and capable in coastal conditions.
• 10 metre and above — Serious offshore cruisers for extended passages and live-aboard weekends.

All vessels in our range are built to Australian standards and suited to the specific demands of Sydney's waterways — from the sheltered bays of Pittwater to the open swells beyond the Heads.
