When a 56ft Iliad Catamaran looks that comfy, you know the shed is built for something bigger. Welcome to our superyacht-scale facility.

When a sailing vessel is hauled out of the water using a travelift, its deep keel poses a structural and height challenge on a standard flat hardstand. The keel pit allows the boat's keel to lower safely below ground level.
• Waterline Access: It enables marine contractors and boat owners to work efficiently and safely at eye level under the waterline.
• Keel & Rudder Services: It provides the necessary ground clearance to completely drop, install, or perform engineering overhauls on massive rudders and complex keel structures.
• Safe Hardstand Support: Lowering the keel into the pit stabilizes high-performance racing yachts during hull treatments, anti-fouling, and major refit projects.

Today, we welcomed a group of enthusiastic Year 9 students from Coombabah State High School to explore the many career opportunities available within the marine sector (organised by The Smith Family).

From dock operations and yacht sales to risk management, marketing, vessel refits, consulting, and project management, students discovered that the marine industry offers far more than they may have imagined.

A huge thank you to our DryStore team for the demonstration, Chloe (Dockmaster), Adam (Risk Officer), Thornton (Yacht Broker), Valerie (Marketing Manager), Hannah from Baily Marine Consulting, Aaron from ACMS, and our project management team for sharing their experiences and giving students a behind-the-scenes look at life in a thriving marine precinct.

One of the highlights was visiting our superyacht sheds, where students saw firsthand the expertise and teamwork involved in managing major vessel refit projects.

We're proud to support the next generation and help young people discover rewarding careers in one of Australia's most dynamic industries.
