"The Wharf" is the latest development at The Boat Works, architecturally designed, premium office premises that will accommodate up to eight yachting businesses in the heart of the superyacht facility.

The state-of-the-art new offices have welcomed the country's most recognised brands, including Selene Yachts, Horizon Yacht Australia, Pantaenius Insurance, Sydney based yacht management team Chapman and Geoff Lovett International Brokerage, representing Baglietto yachts from Italy.

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 of the office developments to ever 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 south-east 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 all year round. There's no better facility in the southern hemisphere. Owners and Captains feel at home here, and our partners benefit from the influx of vessels."

Perry James, Managing Director at Geoff Lovett International (GLI), says they are looking forward to moving into The Wharf.

"Our office will showcase Baglietto, the brand and its range, and we will have several brokerage boats in the marina. The 40-metre Baglietto DOM 133, sold to a long time GLI customer earlier this year will eventually be based at The Boat Works.

"The office space itself will be designed by Sarah Egan from BoatStyle, and will be something a little bit different, bringing the Italian 'atelier' glamour to the space to create a haven of superyachting, not just a workspace.

"We are looking forward to expanding GLI Yachts and Baglietto Australia at the world-class The Boat Works facility." Perry Jame (GLI) Sydney's longest established yacht management and all-inclusive yachting company Chapman have secured their onsite bespoke office within the newly finished The Wharf building in the north yard Superyacht facility.

Chapman will have their Gold Coast headquarters on-site at The Boat Works providing refit, antifouling, and detailing services.

"I have a great deal of respect and admiration for the ethos and attention to detail of the trades on-site and The Boat Works' management team," said Cooper Chapman Founder & Managing Director.

"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." Cooper Chapman.

The Boat Works Marketing Manager, Charmaine Webb commented, "We are thrilled to announce our latest onsite partners in the new development, The Wharf which offer our customers more choice by welcoming a variety of top-tier marine professional businesses.

"Located at the entrance to the Superyacht facility, these offices will overlook the next phase of major marine infrastructure, including the in-water sheds, an advancement set to revolutionise our marine industry," she continued.

"The Owners' commitment to reinvest in the The Boat Works' facilities ensures continuous enhancement of our range of services. New sheds, new hardstand, and a sixth machine added to the fleet by the end of 2024; we are poised to accommodate even more boats, creating additional job opportunities.

"We look forward to welcoming our new partners and providing exceptional, world-class service for our customers."
