Just over two months ago construction began on a new Whitehaven 6500 Sports Yacht. Production is on schedule for her to land in Australia in September 2021 and her arrival is hotly anticipated as this custom yacht has an impressive specification list.

Whitehaven Motor Yachts is proud to announce Australian Marine Sales as the Sydney Harbour dealer for the brand. The team headed by Jane McNeill and Travis McCurry will be co-located within the new Whitehaven office on Sydney Wharf in Pyrmont.

Vince and Jana commissioned their Whitehaven 6000 Flybridge in 2017. It wasn’t their first motor yacht but their first Whitehaven. In 2020, they took the opportunity of a global pandemic preventing their usual European holiday and Whitehaven Motor Yachts’ offer of a Whitsunday Rendezvous to take Bella Sky north. It was their first trip doing so and was a great success yet it was the trip back home which proved the strength in this luxury motor yacht.

The second hull in the Harbour Classic 40 range has been sold to a Sydney-based customer. Her bronze hull has been spotted out and about on the harbour which inspired her creation in the first place.
