Cordina Marine

What Cordina Marine does

Cordina Marine is a family-owned custom aluminium boat builder headquartered at 11 Contest Link, Henderson, Western Australia, within the Australian Marine Complex. The company designs and fabricates bespoke commercial and recreational aluminium vessels ranging from 4m to 22m, including the RHB Series (Rigid Hull Boats with proprietary D-section foam-filled collars and TPU outer skins), the Work Series of commercial vessels, and the Tourism Series for whale watching, island hopping, and sunset cruise operators. All construction adheres to DNV welding standards, with select models holding NSCV 2C and NS Survey certifications required for Australian commercial use, and the workshop is equipped with CNC router cutting technology for precise interior fit-out components.

The business operates four product lines alongside its vessel builds: the TAT Trailers division produces custom aluminium boat and plant trailers supplied to Rio Tinto, Parks and Wildlife, Fisheries, and Marine Rescue groups; the Onsite Services division delivers maintenance, welding repair, fabrication, engine alignment, fuel and water systems, cathodic protection, and repower work at boat lifters in the Fremantle and Henderson areas. The founding leadership comprises Managing Director Joe Cordina (22 years of aluminium boat building experience, apprenticed at Alu Craft), Production Manager Nat Harmsen (19 years of boat building and cabinet making), and Business Officer Tracey Cordina (prior corporate financial management at Morgan Stanley and Rio Tinto, Six Sigma qualified).

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time project-based contracts for new custom vessel construction, supplemented by hardware sales of TAT Trailers and professional services revenue from onsite maintenance and repair work. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based with no published rates, distribution is entirely direct-to-client within Australia, and the customer base spans enterprise (Rio Tinto), government (Fisheries, Parks and Wildlife), nonprofit (Marine Rescue groups), tourism operators, and individual recreational buyers. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding and currently operates with a 7-person team.
