Cruisers Headquarters – Now Open
The ever – evolving Boatyard & Marina, The Boat Works has evolved and welcomed yet another dimension to the comprehensive Resort for your Boat.
Opening a
dedicated 5,000-square-metres of additional hardstand especially for the
cruising community only.
Welcoming
the opportunity for the cruiser and liveaboard community to not only cruise
together but a chance to now work together on the Hardstand.
The
footprint accommodates up to 16 cruising catamarans and monohulls. This
workspace is ideal for cruising yacht & catamaran owners to undertake their
own antifoul and maintenance works, gathering with like-minded sailors and
complete with a liveaboard lounges, ensuites, free laundry and even a courtesy
car.
“It’s the
ideal ‘Cruising HQ’ for cruising customers who can meet others from around the
region and the world, take advantage of the fresh produce growing on-site,
bathrooms, laundry, recycled water plus access to the Super Chandlery and
access to all the trades and resources in the Marine Precinct,” says Shane.
Offering a one stop shop with the best
facilities, comprehensive array and choice of marine trades with the
convenience of a chandlery superstore onsite via the Marine Trade Supplies and
Chandlery. The Boat Works can lay claim to being Australia’s greatest boatyard.

comments from cruising couple from the UK, Jan & Richard, SV ‘Morpheus of
London’
Jan explained the new precinct is like
their own little community similar to when you’re on a marina and you welcome a
sundowner or two with your neighbours.
Connecting with cruisers, like-minded
boaties, we get together post a day on the tools and enjoy a BBQs in the new
facilities.
The air-conditioned lounge has offered a
relief and a safe haven out of the elements to catch up on emails and
correspondence.
The Boat Works’ owner and CEO, Tony
Longhurst said his aim is to create an oasis for owners, crew and the local
community through environmentally-friendly enhancements.
“This ethos underpins everything we do
here,” said Tony. “Our customers, owners and visiting crews are the
beneficiaries of this commitment to the highest standards, but it’s the River
and the environment that benefit long-term.”
