At this year's Monaco Yacht Show, Superyacht Australia unveiled the trailer for the "Australia InDepth" documentary.
Superyacht Australia CEO David Good, spoke remotely with Superyachts.com to highlight the numerous virtues awaiting superyacht owners and charter guests 'downunder'.
David explained how recent changes in charter regulations have made for an influx in superyacht visits to Australia, saying "It's the most exciting thing that's happened, as we have been chasing charter legislation for foreign yachts for about 20 years".
Despite the challenges of COVID-19, David told the Europe-based publication that “COVID-19 in 2020 was beneficial to Australia market. [Vessel owners] saw Australia as a safe place for the crew, using Australia for refit and maintenance work”.
One key cornerstone of the Australian superyacht industry is its refit sector, with an ever-expanding fleet of refit yards making Australia even more accessible and attractive to its growing superyacht guests.
Rivergate Marina & Shipyard features among the world-class refit and maintenance facilities attracting superyachts from around the region and increasingly, from Asia, the US and Europe.
“Being an island, Australia is probably best seen by yacht,” David continued, introducing the “Australia InDepth” trailer, which promotes the much-anticipated documentary.
