Latest on Offshore Marine Master boat stolen from Mooloolaba Marina

A family’s much-loved $100k boat is still missing as police reveal where it was last sighted after a dramatic break-in at the Mooloolaba Marina.

A Sunshine Coast family's $100k boat was stolen in a daring robbery from the Mooloolaba Marina and was last captured on CCTV at a petrol station south of Gympie, heading north on the Bruce Hwy being towed by a Ford Ranger, just before midnight on July 9.

Police are still on the hunt for a $100,000 boat stolen after thieves cut through the fence of a Sunshine Coast marina last month.

The 6.8-metre aluminium plate boat, an Offshore Marine Master, was parked in the hardstand area of the Mooloolaba Marina when it was taken on July 9.

Thieves cut a hole in the fence and also pushed over a fence post with their vehicle during the break-in.

Sunshine Coast Water Police Senior Constable Murray Lyons said the boat, being towed by a Ford Ranger, was last captured on CCTV at a petrol station south of Gympie being driven north on the Bruce Hwy just before midnight on July 9.

Tradesman and dad-of-one Andrew Scotland, 40, was upset not only because his custom-built boat was gone but 15 years worth of marks, or good fishing spots, were also stolen.

Andrew Scotland, 40, and Francesca Molina, 28, are devastated after their boat was stolen from the Mooloolaba Marina on Sunday night.

His partner Francesca Molina said the couple was still “super bummed” about the incident.

“We don’t know how something of that size goes missing and there’s no further word of it,” the 28-year-old mum-of-one said.

The 6.8m aluminium plate boat, an Offshore Marine Master, was stolen from the Mooloolaba Marina.

She said the couple had discussed their situation with their insurer and the claim was “on hold” in the hope their boat was found.

“We loved that boat,” Ms Molina said.
