Marking Our 120th New-Build Delivery

The delivery of a Hampton Endurance 680 marks our 120th new-build delivery to Australian shores. This milestone recognises years of work with owners, shipyards and the many people involved in preparing a yacht for life on the water.

Our new-build delivery history spans motor yachts from 38 to 95 feet. While the size and scope of each project vary, the starting point remains the same: understanding what an owner wants from their yacht.

A new build involves decisions well before construction begins. Model selection, accommodation, equipment and finishes all influence the finished vessel, as do practical considerations such as maintenance access, tender storage and everyday operation.

We bring our experience across yacht sales and shipyard operations to those discussions, helping owners consider how their choices support the way they intend to cruise.

The Endurance 680 delivery gives us an opportunity to acknowledge the trust our clients place in our team and the work behind each completed project. Every delivery represents an owner’s plans taking shape, and we’re proud to play a part in that process.

If you’re considering a new yacht, we welcome the opportunity to discuss your requirements and explore the options with you.
