The marina has 24-hour CCTV, a helipad available by booking and fob-controlled access. For refit and maintenance, the website points to the nearby Gold Coast Marine Precinct.

History: according to Wikipedia, the Sanctuary Cove project was launched in 1986 by developer Mike Gore and the community opened in 1988, with the first Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show held the same year. According to Afloat magazine (2019), Mulpha, owner of the marina, enlarged the basin with covered berths, described as the first in Australia's recreational marina industry.
