In July 2021, Brisbane was announced as the host city for the 2032 Summer Olympic games. The Brisbane River already provides superyachts the ability to berth or moor downtown on the river which is relatively unique for an Olympics host city. This makes it very attractive for owners looking to relocate their yacht as their private base for the Olympic Games. Moreton Island and North Stradbroke Island are just two of the stunning destinations to cruise when visiting close-by Moreton Bay. Discover the surrounding areas too as there are plenty of exciting activities on offer as well as city luxuries for guests to indulge in.
