Marine, Commercial, Defence and Private Projects By Marxcraft

Marxcraft Pty Ltd — Est. 2001

A Legacy of Craft

When you work with Marxcraft, you’re leaning on 25 years of experience and mastery in bespoke craftsmanship across superyacht interiors, private residential fine furniture commissions, government defence vessels, luxury transport and landmark commercial spaces. Every project is a partnership built on precision, trust and skill, delivered with integrity.

Years of Excellence

Our Portfolio

From production-scale catamaran programmes to once-in-a-generation superyacht commissions, each project has demanded something different of the people who made it.

For more than twenty-five years, Marxcraft has built a reputation on one unchanging standard: every project, regardless of scale or sector, is executed by an experienced team of Australian master craftsmen who take personal accountability for the quality of their work. That continuity of people, process and purpose is what distinguishes a Marxcraft engagement from a managed supply arrangement. The portfolio that follows spans marine, defence, commercial and heritage commissions. Across every one of them, the measure of success has been the same: work that holds, finishes that endure, and clients who return.

2009 – 2010: Multiple Award-Winning Vessel

A 50-Metre Sailing Masterpiece by Fitzroy Yachts, Dubois & Tessier

Commissioned by Fitzroy Yachts of New Zealand, Zefira was designed by Dubois Naval Architects with an interior conceived by Parisian designer Rémi Tessier. Marxcraft fabricated and supplied the custom bespoke interior furniture to select areas of the vessel, including a full-size on-site mock-up constructed to verify fit before remote installation. The project was realised in close collaboration with Van Geest Design of the Netherlands, a partnership that would continue across subsequent superyacht commissions. Zefira went on to earn multiple international awards recognising her build quality, exterior design and competitive sailing performance.

World Superyacht Awards: Zefira was recognised across multiple categories.

ShowBoats Design Awards 2011: Zefira received recognition for Exterior Design and Styling in the Sailing Yachts category.

Nautical Design Awards, Milan 2011: Zefira received the Innovation Award.

2010 — Exhibited Monaco Yacht Show

Lightweight Luxury at the Limits of Performance

McConaghy’s performance sailing yacht Singularity required a complete luxury interior within a strict weight budget, demanding materials that could not be sourced from conventional furniture manufacture. Marxcraft fabricated the interior using DuFlex composite panels by ATL Composites: aramid honeycomb cores with carbon-fibre skins, laminated with teak veneer by Marxcraft’s craftsmen with painstaking grain and colour matching. The interior was styled by British firm Design Unlimited. Singularity was subsequently exhibited at the Monaco Yacht Show, presenting Australian precision craftsmanship on the world’s most prominent superyacht stage.

Australia's Largest Commercial Superyacht, Reimagined

The 54-metre Baglietto Mischief underwent a major refit in 2024, repositioning the vessel as Australia’s flagship luxury charter superyacht operating across the South Pacific and Queensland coast. Through The Yard, Brisbane, Marxcraft was appointed as the principal interior contractor, delivering bespoke joinery, luxury furnishings and detailed interior refinements throughout the vessel. The project required exceptional precision and programme coordination given the vessel’s scale and the timeline required to return her to active charter service.
