The Leigh-Smith Lounge

A small boutique lounge tucked inside our Sanctuary Cove Marina headquarters — owners welcome to stop by, relax and talk boats.

An owners' room at HQ

Small, friendly, all about boats

The Leigh-Smith Lounge is a small boutique space inside our Sanctuary Cove Marina headquarters. It isn’t a clubhouse and it isn’t trying to be — it’s simply a quiet, comfortable corner kept aside for our owners. Pop in during opening hours, settle in with a fresh coffee or a light refreshment, and spend a while talking boats with our team or whichever owners happen to be passing through that day.

Light refreshments

Fresh barista coffee, tea, cold drinks and a small selection of pastries and snacks served throughout opening hours.

Relax dockside

A handful of comfortable seats, soft lighting and a quiet marina outlook — a calm place to pause between inspections, sea trials or a day on the water.

Talk boats

Drop in to swap stories, share cruising notes or chat through a project with our brokers and the owners who happen to be in that day.

For the love of boating

No sales pitch and no agenda — just a small boutique room set aside for people who genuinely love yachts and the lifestyle around them.

Owners' privileges

A quiet thank-you to our owners
