Labor Practices
Stradbroke Yachts prides ourself on providing exceptional craftsmen, quality suppliers and skilled artisans. Producing an enviable product.
We can ensure this by paying real living wages to all staff and contractors in the Stradbroke Yachts team, Our commitment to ethical labor practices produces a skilled, hard working team dedicated to producing you an exceptional vessel.
Environmental Sustainability
Our aluminium hulls are built using recycled aluminium and the hull can continue to be 100% recycled infinitely. Unlike most materials that degrade with each recycle, aluminium will never loose its quality. One Ton of recycled aluminium will create one Ton of new aluminium, with zero waste. It takes only 5% of the energy to recycle aluminium than it does to manufacture new aluminium. In fact we can recycle 20 aluminium cans with the same amount of energy that it takes to make just one new can.
Throughout the interior of our boats we strive to use as many natural or recycled natural products as possible. Ensuring your health and the planets.
This ain't no plastic boat!
Social Impact
Stradbroke Yachts is passionate and proactive about mental health within our workplace. In Australia we loose a construction worker to suicide every 2 days.
Funky Shirt Fridays is an initiative created by Trade Mutt, founded by our mates Daniel Allen and Edward Ross. A social impact workwear brand designed to start conversations about mental health by wearing funky eye catching work shirts. They are real conversation starters!!
