RB-MARINE COVERS New Creative Workshop at Gold Coast City Marina
One of the Gold Coast’s longest-established marine service businesses, RB-Marine Covers, has expanded its operations with the opening of a new creative workshop and full-service facility at Gold Coast City Marina (GCCM). The expansion strengthens the company’s presence across the northern Gold Coast and reflects growing demand for high-quality, tailored marine solutions.
Well known for their thoughtful design approach and meticulous workmanship, the RB-Marine Covers team has built a loyal following among local boat owners. Their services span custom boat covers, clears, upholstery, antifouling and detailing, delivered with a strong emphasis on durability, fit and finish. The new GCCM location features a purpose-built workshop alongside an impressive showroom, showcasing a wide range of cover samples and an extensive selection of marine upholstery fabrics, colours and textiles.
With operations now based at both Coomera Marine Precinct and Runaway Bay Marina, RB-Marine Covers offers a convenient, one-stop marine service solution. Ideally positioned on the Coomera River and the Broadwater, the facilities cater to boat owners looking to rejuvenate, protect or upgrade their vessels, whether for everyday use or longterm storage.
MARINE COVERS AND UPHOLSTERY BUILT FOR AUSTRALIAN CONDITIONS
Australia’s marine environment is among the harshest in the world, making quality protection essential for vessels that are berthed, trailered or stored outdoors. As experienced marine trimmers, RB-Marine Covers uses only premium, UV-stable materials including Sunbrella and WeatherMax 80, paired with lifetime PTFE threads such as Profolin, Helios and Tenara.
Every cover is professionally finished with reinforced edges, sealed seams and waterproofing treatments to ensure longevity and performance. The team repairs and replaces biminis, camping covers, clears, zips, midge screens, window shields, hatch covers and full boat covers, as well as complete interior and exterior upholstery and bedding throughout the vessel.
PROTECTIVE BOAT COVERS BY FUNCTION
Choosing the right boat cover makes a significant difference in protecting a vessel, but with so many options available, understanding functionality is key.
Trailering boat covers are designed to reduce wind lift and road debris damage during transport, while mooring boat covers protect against UV exposure, rain and bird droppings while afloat. Outdoor storage covers offer full protection for vessels stored ashore for extended periods.
RB-Marine Covers offers multiple installation options, including tie-down systems, snap-on installations and ratchet strap setups, ensuring a secure fit across a wide range of boat styles.
The team works across numerous vessel types, including flybridge and offshore cruisers, pontoon boats, centre consoles, bass boats, V-hull boats, ski and wake boats, deck boats, bowriders, jet skis and PWCs, as well as sailboats.
CUSTOM BOAT COVERS: THE ULTIMATE PROTECTION
For owners seeking the best possible fit and performance, custom boat covers remain the gold standard. Made to order and crafted to match each vessel’s exact dimensions and features, custom covers provide superior protection from water ingress, UV damage and debris accumulation.
Constructed from marine-grade materials such as polyester, acrylic and canvas, these covers incorporate waterproof coatings, abrasion resistance, breathability and advanced UV protection. Each fabric is treated specifically for marine conditions, ensuring durability in all weather environments.
SHADE SOLUTIONS AND EXPERT ADVICE
Beyond covers and upholstery, RB-Marine Covers also supplies and installs bimini tops, shade systems and umbrellas, tailored to enhance onboard comfort without compromising aesthetics or functionality.
