The last 12 months has been action packed within the Brisbane Superyacht industry. We have seen the refit of a 52-metre oce Anco, the total refit of Trinity Yacht’s Ulysses and the completion of Seafaris’ construction. The coming year is proving to be equally exciting. Brisbane has along history of manufacturing and servicing superyachts and luxury vessels. Our history dates back to before the turn of the 20th century, and long before superyachts were an industry unto themselves Brisbane manufactured luxury yachts up to 192’.

This directory will give you a flavour of Brisbane’s capabilities both past and present but consider the facts:

• Brisbane is the only Australian port in the Dockwise Yacht Transport Network;

• In early 2008, Brisbane will be capable of lifting600 tonnes;

• Brisbane’s current slipways will accommodate vessels up to 2500 tonnes;

• Brisbane has a dedicated marine workforce of over 5000;

• In the first half of 2007, projects completed in Brisbane won two Australian and one International superyacht awards; and finally;

• Brisbane is less than two days cruising from the start of the Great Barrier Reef.

I would encourage you to learn about the history, read the case studies on superyachts that have chosen Brisbane for significant work and contact Superyacht Base Brisbane to discuss the possibilities for your next refit, maintenance work and fit out.
