Collaborations & Partnerships

Meaningful, measurable collabs that grow Yea Buoy

We partner with aligned clubs, creators, and community groups who love life on the water. If you’d like to collaborate, please read our priorities and submit the application below. We prioritise opportunities that deliver clear value—content, reach, event visibility, and sales outcomes.

Brand Priorities

  • Family connection on the water

  • Gold Coast lifestyle and community

  • Affordable, safe, high-quality products

  • Authentic, bright, coastal visuals

Our Collaboration Principles

1) Audience Alignment

  • Families, boaters, Gold Coast locals, and water-lifestyle communities

  • Share audience size, engagement rate, and typical content performance

2) Value Exchange (measurable)

  • Tagged reels/posts (with expected reach/engagement)

  • Professional photos/video with usage rights

  • Event presence (demo/display) and signage

  • Newsletter inclusions, website features, PR mentions

  • Affiliate code or tracked offer to drive sales

3) Brand Fit

  • Family-friendly, safe, fun, and coastal lifestyle aesthetics

  • Clean visuals and messaging that enhance brand trust

4) Sustainability

  • Preference for repeat exposure and long-term relationships over one-offs
