Shipyard · New build & refit
McMullen & Wing
Auckland yard on the Tamaki River that built a run of custom superyachts from the late 1990s to 2016, including the 45 m explorer Big Fish and the 50 m Chirundos. Today its own site puts commercial work first, with electric and hybrid ferries, aquaculture vessels and workboats, alongside refit and maintenance for recreational and commercial craft.
