Boatshed Market

Come for the food, but look up while you’re here. Boatshed Market occupies a site with a remarkable boat-building past: Australia II, winner of the 1983 America’s Cup, was built here. Today it’s one of Cott’s best-known food destinations, with fresh produce, butcher and seafood counters, a bakery and patisserie, deli food and groceries. There are also flowers, coffee and chef-prepared meals. Upstairs, you’ll find BŌTO Teppanyaki + Wine Loft.

Enter from 40 Jarrad Street, near the southern end of the village. Follow the signed public approach into the market during trading hours.

Long before it became a food market, the site had been used as a wood yard, ice vendor and village blacksmith. Boat builder Steve Ward began leasing the premises in 1950 for five shillings a week and established a boat-building workshop here. Its most famous project was Australia II, the Ben Lexcen-designed yacht that broke the New York Yacht Club’s 132-year winning streak at the America’s Cup in 1983.

The fresh food market officially opened in December 1988. Upstairs, the Wine Loft carries local and international wines, while BŌTO Teppanyaki serves Japanese food using Australian produce. The market’s old industrial scale still gives the building much of its character, making this a place where Cottesloe’s fine food shopping and a rather famous piece of sailing history sit under the same roof.
