Boat refit services:
A wealth of knowledge & industry experience
Finding the right people to execute a specific job or manage a complicated yacht refit can be daunting. At CHAPMAN, we’ve seen it all. With over 60 years’ combined experience in project management, servicing and maintaining high-end performance powerboats, world-leading sports cruisers, production motor yachts and superyachts, CHAPMAN has the knowledge, network, partnerships and people to deliver your repair, upgrade or overhaul efficiently, with careful attention to timelines and the highest standards of workmanship.
CHAPMAN specialises in large-scale, comprehensive refit projects and yacht upgrades. Our in-depth local knowledge is supported by an established network of tradespeople, specialist technicians, suppliers and shipyards. Whether you’re refitting your existing yacht or have purchased a vessel to upgrade to your requirements and tastes, a refit is the perfect opportunity to breathe new life into a vessel.
Operating from our Queensland headquarters at The Boat Works, CHAPMAN has been entrusted with projects aboard vessels including Shadow, the Greenpeace sailing yacht Oceania and the classic charter yacht SEA RAES. Our work spans a wide range of vessel types and project requirements, bringing practical experience and careful coordination to every stage.
The Boat Works’ in-water facility, The Watersheds, provides sheltered berthing and convenient access for our project management team, tradespeople, equipment and deliveries. These facilities help us coordinate works efficiently while providing a safer, more comfortable working environment.
Combined with the yard’s extensive hardstand areas, high-clearance Supersheds, haulout capabilities and established marine trade community, The Boat Works provides the infrastructure to support complex refits in one location. Dedicated crew amenities and waterfront hospitality also make it a practical and welcoming base throughout the project.
From individual upgrades to extensive overhauls, CHAPMAN brings the people, planning and oversight together to deliver a result that reflects your yacht’s needs and your vision.
