About us

Fullard Boat Co was founded in 2018 by Will and Kelly Fullard, who both grew up in East Gippsland.

Will began his apprenticeship in 2007, and since then has worked on everything from restoring tall ships in Melbourne to building high-end yacht tenders in the UK.

After living and working abroad, Will and Kelly returned home to build Fullard Boat Co around the Gippsland Lakes.

What started in a small single-car garage has grown into the professional marine workshop you see today, servicing clients across Lakes Entrance, Paynesville, Metung, Bairnsdale and beyond.
