The Boat Works on the Gold Coast has become a world-leading marine facility, renowned for its state-of-the-art infrastructure and environmental practices. Spanning 55 acres and home to over 1,000 skilled professionals, it’s Australia’s largest and most environmentally friendly yacht refit and maintenance center. The latest addition to its offerings is the innovative Watersheds facility, which provides covered, in-water refit solutions for large vessels. The new facility features two 100-meter-long chutes, offering sheltered berths and a protected environment for maintenance and refits. This expansion enhances productivity, helps meet tight deadlines, and ensures the highest standards of service.
Sea Spray Marine is excited to be part of this new era at The Boat Works and cannot wait to take advantage of the Watersheds facility for future projects. Already, the new facility has proven its value, with Chapman Yacht Management using it to re-launch the 100-foot ‘SEA RAES’ ahead of schedule. Additionally, vessels like ‘BATAIVIA’ and ‘PLEIADES II’ have experienced faster turnarounds and improved efficiency thanks to the sheltered berths.
The Boat Works is not just about providing world-class facilities—it’s also a hub for local employment. With projects like the ambitious refit of the former Australian Navy ship ‘JeMaSa,’ up to 100 new jobs are expected to be created. The development supports local businesses and contributes to the economic growth of the region, with more marine businesses expanding and relocating to the area.
This growth aligns with the Queensland Superyacht Strategy, which predicts a 90% growth in the Australian superyacht sector by 2028, cementing Queensland’s position as a major hub in the Asia-Pacific region.
Sea Spray Marine looks forward to contributing to and benefiting from this incredible development, which continues to set new standards for the marine industry.
