The depreciation of the Australian dollar and tighter economic climate have sparked an increase in superyacht refit and repair enquiries in Australia.
“Owners are now choosing to smarten up their existing vessels ahead of embarking on new ventures. Others are snapping up pre-owned bargains and then modifying according to personal preference,” says Azzura Marine Managing Director and Superyacht Base Australia Chairman David McQueen.
Azzura Marine Newcastle is Australia's premier superyacht refit and repair facility. “The premium quality of Azzura Marine’s workmanship coupled with the current exchange rate makes our refit service a very appealing option,” states David.
Given the state of the dollar, Azzura Marine’s vast technical experience, its impressive superyacht site features and its close proximity to some of the most stunning cruising destinations in the world, it is little wonder that owners are seriously considering refit options Down Under.

Testament to the high standards of Azzura Marine, the client's representative confirmed that "all reports back on the work undertaken by Azzura Marine are excellent and the result of the project has exceeded the owners' expectations."
