The Wharf Welcomes Prestigious Yachting Experts at The Boat Works

The Wharf is the latest development at The Boat Works, featuring architecturally designed, premium office premises that will accommodate Chapman Yachting and other yachting businesses in the heart of this renowned superyacht facility. This state-of-the-art space enhances the exceptional services and offerings at The Boat Works.

A Hub for Marine Professionals at Boat Works

The new additions will bolster the existing 100 on-site trades and marine businesses that operate from The Boat Works. This will be the last office development to occupy space at The Boat Works, with one premium top-floor office space still available for yachting brands and businesses in the marine refit and service epicentre of southeast Queensland.

“We are thrilled to welcome some of the biggest names in yachting to The Wharf,” said Tony Longhurst, CEO and owner of The Boat Works. “The Wharf offers marine businesses a superb setting, landscaped gardens, restaurants, service sheds, haul-out equipment, and facilities, with immediate access to all the professional trades and suppliers on-site, and more within the Gold Coast Marine Precinct. There are 2,000+ people on-site every day, and the place is buzzing with activity. We welcome hundreds of superyachts and boats of all sizes year-round. There’s no better facility in the southern hemisphere. Owners and Captains feel at home here, and our partners enjoy the influx of vessels.”

Chapman Yachting has secured a bespoke office within the newly finished The Wharf building in the north yard Superyacht facility. With the new headquarters on-site at The Boat Works, Chapman Yachting will provide an extensive range of services, including refit, antifouling, and detailing.

“I have a great deal of respect and admiration for the ethos and attention to detail of the trades on-site and The Wharf management team,” said Cooper Chapman, Founder & Managing Director of Chapman Yachting. “The Boat Works is home to 100 on-site marine businesses who love what they do and do it well. They are committed to exceptional service and world-class quality. The Boat Works is the ideal pitstop for all vessels travelling south to north each year. We intend to raise the bar in refits and maintenance for all our clients.”
