This is a video showing the assembly of the all-new 485-ton superyacht hoist at Front Street Shipyard in the USA. One of the first vessels hauled by the hoist was the 130-foot charter yacht Magic. The yard is also planning to build a new building.

The well known US superyacht refit facility, Front Street Shipyard, has recently built their new 485-ton marine hoist. Below is a video made by Billy Black, showing how the machine came together and hauled the first couple of superyachts, including the 130-foot charter yacht Magic.

Now that Front Street Shipyard got the new lift, they need to get a new building big enough to fit it inside. The yard has been working with the Belfast City Council on getting final approval for the new facility. Construction of the new building is scheduled to start next spring.
