AUSTRALIAN SUPERYACHTS, exclusive distributor for Gulf Craft Majesty Yachts, has greatly expanded their team, offices and clientele and relocated their head office to the stunning Jones Bay Wharf in Sydney.
Making the investment in its team with a number of significant additions to senior management Australian Superyachts has expanded their Sales, Charter and Management headquarters with the purchase of the former JW Marine office in historic Jones Bay Wharf in Pyrmont.
The company will continue to maintain a permanent presence at Sydney Superyacht Marina in Rozelle Bay where it has been based since 2009. The Yacht Agency division, Australian Superyacht Services will remain based at the marina complementing its recently opened Cairns office.
Managing Director Richard Morris said; “It’s been an exciting year for us with new business requiring key senior staff appointments and expansion into larger premises from which to operate.”
“Our Gulf Craft sales team has enjoyed some significant recent successes and this has required the establishment of a dedicated in-house Technical Project Management division to oversee the new builds; complementing our Yacht Management and Charter divisions.”
“I am privileged to have built a highly professional team to guide our company through the exciting times ahead, and am confident that we have the most experienced and capable superyacht team in Australia to serve our clients.”
