The Boat Works has increased capacity, investing again in additional marine infrastructure that has created the largest superyacht refit sheds for the Gold Coast.
The new development offers boat owners and captains even bigger sheds with a staggering 20m clearance. Construction has not slowed down since the February 2020’s opening of the 25-acre Superyacht facility adjacent to the south boatyard.
Stage four, spurred on by the continued demand is now well under construction in preparation to cater to superyachts, charter vessels, expedition and game boats, particularly those with several decks or game towers, and complementing the 300 tonne capacity marine travel lift.
“We are the destination for boat maintenance and have again lifted the standard for visiting boats catering to every need of Owners, Guests, Captains and Crews.” stated Tony Longhurst, owner of The Boat Works.
The 20m high sheds will bring the total number of controlled working environments (i.e. individual refit sheds) at The Boat Works’ facility to 58 – unrivalled in the region.
The new sheds are forecast to open for the first quarter of 2022, when charter and private superyachts arrive to undertake their refinishing works, major refit projects and maintenance.
At 20m in height, the new sheds ensure plenty of space for the installation of scaffold and scissor lifts at 16-metres wide x 50metres in length, ample working and storage area.
“All sheds provide excellent LED lighting, ample power for vessels and trades, drainage that is channelled into a treatment process, and commercial curtains for privacy and reduction of noise and dust pollution.
“To maintain our green reputation and responsibility we will again invest in solar array and harvest the water onsite.”
The first vessels booked in in early 2022 are a sample of lofty motor yachts such as a tri-decks, luxury commercial vessels, several flybridge cruisers and a 30-metre passagemaker.
The Boat Works facility accommodates a collaboration of 80+ marine professionals, services and Chandlery, all experts in their respective fields with each department delivering first class service on every client’s request.
