Shane Subichin GM The Boat Works welcomes Rikky Burkett and his team at Paradigm Training Group, October 2019
Cooling towers

Now available For Hire onsite.

A genius idea from a environmental and work perspective, the cooling tower replaces the job of saltwater at sea when the yachts are out of the water in the yard. Allowing for the whole boats systems such as refrigeration, air conditioning and AV to continue to function as if normal.

Reduces the internal impact by eliminating the existence of moisture or simple overheating and frees up the yards use of water as it continually recycles the water content within the unit.

Crew will continue to work as if the vessel was still at sea.

How it works;

-Cooling tower simulates normal sea water circulation through the boat

-tower connects directly to the sea water inlet and outlet points

-efficienct, eco-friendly and a healthy option for keeping vessels at normal operating mode when not afloat

-keeps vessel in full operational mode removing the need for crew hotels etc. for shorter stay works

-maintains the interiors furnishings etc. in the best stable environment whilst out of water

-not need to defrost the fridge, maintains the temperature of the beer!

With a compact and portable design the unit is available for hire:

Here we grow again!

The Boat Works welcomes the newest heavyweight in town, weighing in at 150 Tonnes. 

300t Boatlift begins hauling January 2020

Australia’s sprawling 55 acre shipyard and marina, The Boat Works is proud to announce the arrival of the Gold Coast’s largest ship lift, the 300 Tonne marvel named “Rhino” for its grit and hauling power.

Gold Coast Marine Precinct | TBW expansion will double its footprint

With 2.8m wheels and a stonking 12 metres in height, towering over the newly completed additional slipway, the 300 Tonne Marine Travelift now takes pride of place at the new Superyacht Facility and is on track to begin lifting January 2020.

The new 300 Tonne mobile boat hoist adds to the compilation onsite sharing the expansive footprint with the 70t lift, 100t Marine Travel Lift and the 45t Hydraulic Sealift.

Only three years ago, The Boat Works added the 100 Tonne ship lift to its facilities in the southern yard that today has over 1,000-+ people working onsite and 60 onsite tenants comprising the gamut of marine professionals.

Shane Subichin, General Manager proud to welcome the new acquisition

The new 300 Tonne shiplift arrived only last week from the US and a week later was standing proud & complete– an impressive feat which matches the pace of construction in the new superyacht yard. Over half of The Boat Works’ new superyacht yard is taken up with 40,000-square-metres of concrete, and expansive steel beams and walls are going up each day for the 18 massive individual refit sheds.“The pace is incredible to say the least,” commented Shane Subichin, The Boat Works General Manager. “The new superyacht yard has really taken shape in only the past three months since we hosted the ASMEX and the Marina Industries Association Marinas19 delegates in May.

“There is nothing comparable in Australia, and most likely, the world. The environmental initiatives, including water filtration and large tracts of bio gardens, are unique.”

Scheduled for official early 2020, The Boat Works Superyacht Yard will feature allocated work bays for superyachts up to 50m with a choice of 18 individual refit sheds, dedicated hardstand space, Captains and Owners’ lounge, 75m superyacht service berth option, an extra 50 work berths, all within what will be the greenest and cleanest facility.

Scott Alger, Director of Asia & Oceania Sales at Marine Travelift said “Marine Travelift is grateful for our continued partnership with The Boat Works team including the recent addition of a 300 CII Marine Travelift mobile boat hoist to their marina.

“With the new 300 CII The Boat Works has significantly increased their lifting capability which now enables them to expand their market presence.”

Mystery Box Rally Supporting Cancer Research

Meet Fredl our Marine Professional here onsite from Yachtsmen International. Fredl will trade in his working day on-board many a Boat to participate with his beloved Merc in this years Mystery Box Rally raising much needed funds towards Cancer research.

The Mother Truckers they call themselves.

Local Marine Professional, Fredl van der Merwe is dedicated & 100% committed to the rally’s cause after being personalised impacted within his family circle to the dreaded disease of cancer and loosing his father in law 2 years ago to brain cancer. He is teamed up together with co-driver Joshua Dabadie to take on the challenge in the 1984 Mercedes Benz 190E Sedan.

Over the last nine odd years, Mystery Box & Shitbox Rally has raised up near $20 million for Cancer Council. The annual event is dedicated to raise much needed funds towards cancer research and they kick off again for this weekend from Byron Bay. ‘Its such a terrific cause and this year so far it looks like funds raised could be close to $1million, which is incredible’ says Fredl.

Teams will drive their own 25+ year old cars along a mystery route in this unique 5 day challenge, all in the name of cancer research. The route is a loop starting and finishing from Byron Bay, but all the other details are kept under wraps, only given to the teams each morning.

We wish Fredl & Josh all the very best of support for this journey ahead and congratulate the Mystery Box and Shitbox Rally’s for encouraging and continuing to support the cause.
