TESTIMONIALS

Excellent quick outcome for all concerned.

Virtually a 3 day process from walking into the brokerage, to a successful sale for WWBB, for the purchaser and for us, with the transaction completed at end of day three!

The photos, video and drone footage didn’t even have time to hit the website!

However, great for us to have as a memento and for the new owners to share with friends and family.

Nothing was too much trouble with Ant driving to Brisbane to pick up the interstate prospective buyers, then driving them about as they had to fully provision the boat.

Positive and painless experience all round, many thanks to the whole team.

Jayne & Paul – Sellers of Leopard 43 PC

Ant’s professionalism, knowledge and character can’t be overstated enough. Never once did I feel he wasn’t working 100% on my side. He was honest and forthright, didn’t play games, and got me a very fair deal, in quick order, by using his extensive network of contacts and treating everyone involved in the transaction as an equal.

My ninth boat sale / purchase and I would have zero hesitation is naming Ant as by the far the best broker I’ve ever used. He is well respected in the industry for a reason, he gets the right results, not just any result.

We finished our crossing of the South Pacific and ended up in Australia. With a bit of apprehension, we put our beloved sailing catamaran and home up for sale.

Selling a boat in Australia isn’t exactly straight forward. Ant and World Wide Boat Brokers were there helping us every step of the way. 

It was re-assuring while walking the docks in the marina that everyone I talked to who knew Ant had nothing but positive and glowing responses. Ant was clear, professional, helpful, and sold our boat quickly for a good price. When we’re ready to get back in the boat market we’ll definitely reach out to Ant and WWBB for help.

Dan and Kristy Formerly SV Te Poerava

We have both sold a boat and bought a boat through Ant. We found him to be professional, honest and very helpful in all aspects of the process.

He has a great depth of knowledge of all boats and his attention to detail is exemplary.

We find Ant to be a very genuine, personable gentleman.

We would highly recommend Ant to anyone to sell their boat or those on the lookout for a boat. We are fortunate to now regard Ant as a friend.

Toni and Ron Borrett , Cruising Kitty

The whole sales process in Fiji went smoothly with Ant and we recommend him to anyone that wishes to purchase a vessel offshore.

Jim F , seller of FP Orana 44

In the short 5 months since our first contact with yourself we have moved from having a dream of owning at 380 LAGOON to now being the owners of a fully imported vessel thanks to your efforts.

Your support and advice has assisted Teena and I immensely though the sometimes daunting process of purchasing an international vessel.

Warmest regards from 2 very happy individuals.

Ces & Teena Maree – NIANTIS 

Thanks Ant and Lisa for taking the time and walking us through one of the biggest, scariest and yet most exciting purchase of our lives.

You have made the process easy through regular communication and helpful advice and service that is extending beyond the handover date. It was our pleasure meeting you and Lisa and we hope to see you again for sundowners soon.

The Bruce family on Aqua Bar

Thanks Ant and Lisa for the fantastic job you did selling my boat.

Your years of experience are obvious with your suggestions in preparing and presenting the boat for sale and keeping me updated, all done in an extremely professional manner.

I was also very impressed and grateful for the assistance you gave to the buyer, a win for everyone! Kind regards

I am very happy with the professionalism of Ant and his company.

He answered every query, and gave valuable information on the issues that can be present with certain models of my preferred brands. The information he gave me was used in the assessment of every yacht I looked at, and was crucial when finally making my purchase. I found Ant to be knowledgeable, honest, and honourable, and I have no hesitation in recommending him to seller, and buyer, alike.

Steve Little. Victoria. Australia.

“Who do you trust with your purchase of a lifetime?

We went with a broker for the purchase of our 42ft Leopard Catamaran and we are so pleased we found World Wide Boat Brokers and Ant in particular! Ant has well and truly gone above and beyond to ensure our purchase went smoothly from afar and we are very grateful for all he has done. Ant helped with negotiations, fielded questions from us to the previous owners, organised sea trials, insurers and even mooring.  His friendly professional service and approachability helped make the entire process quick and easy and at all times we felt completely secure in our decision to purchase with Ant as our broker.  Ant mentioned right at the start that he doesn’t sell boats, he builds relationships and fosters win-win situations. This is certainly our experience and we highly recommend his services.

Big thanks to Ant for helping us purchase our dream!”

John and Loren

Kim and I would like to thank Ant for guiding us through the purchase of our Fontaine Pajot catamaran.

This was the first time we had ever purchased a boat of this size and had very little experience with the whole procedure, it was an extremely big commitment and one that we were very apprehensive about. Ant understood our reservations and led us through the procedure step by step and at a pace we were comfortable with, while explaining along the way any and every question a couple of novice boat purchases had. Dealing with Ant proved to be stress free and made us feel at ease with our decision to undertake such a huge commitment. We had been putting the purchase of for a few years, but after dealing with world wide boat brokers we wish we had of taken the leap earlier. They handled everything berthing to insurance thanks Lisa.

Still waiting for the hats!!!!

Cheers John and Kim

Ant was very welcoming when we walked into the office, chatting about the boat and the boat owner.

We never felt rushed or pushed into making a decision. Ant gave us his contact details and encouraged us to contact him if we had any further questions.

Lisa was very helpful with information regarding insurers and insurance required in Australia and in international waters. They were very knowledgable about local moorings and which type of boat storage was best for the boat. They helped us find an alternative mooring once the sale had gone through and were extremely helpful with all the necessary paperwork.

Ant and Lisa are people who want to help boat buyers find exactly what they want – the perfect boat for them. 

For me, Ant’s words say it all: “We always say, we don’t sell boats here, we make new friends”. 

We can’t speak highly enough of Anthony Kovacevic. He went above and beyond for us and made our purchase easy and enjoyable as we are on the Gold Coast.

He was happy to take the boat out on 2 test runs, even on a Sunday. He fuelled the boat for us and even took it to the slips for us for a Survey inspection. Nothing was a problem.

We highly recommend Anthony and his company. His 1st class service made us feel like we were purchasing a multimillion-dollar boat with his helpfulness, knowledge, efficiency and friendly attitude. This is our 4th boat and by far our best experience with buying a vessel.  

John and Deb

Happy New Boat Owners

Nothing but positive comments regarding our engagement with Ant at WWBB. From the initial online contact, the first viewing of the vessel, through to the sea trial, financial negotiations and finally contractual arrangements, nothing was too much trouble for Ant and all completed with the utmost courtesy and professionalism.  

Doug, Queensland

Happy New Boat Owner

Lisa (Insurance) & Ant are what I would say are not only consummate professionals in their respective fields, but also genuine, respectful & considerate in all facets of the/my boat buying process. Although engaged by the vendor, Lisa & Ant’s support for me, on a few levels is something I have never experienced in 40 years of my own business dealings. Not only would I wholeheartedly recommend their outstanding services, but I will certainly employ their services moving forward. Thank you for your assistance, & support in realising my 20 year dream.  

Kenn Grigg, Queensland

We recently purchased a sailing vessel through World Wide Boat Brokers in Tin Can Bay. The sale process was made easy and ran smoothly due to the professionalism of the team. Peter was knowledgeable, approachable and made things happen. Nothing was a problem. As a result we are now proud owners of a great sailing boat and look forward to many new experiences.  

Peter Bathe 

Ant and his team were great to deal with, going above and beyond of what is expected. We can highly recommend WorldWide Boat brokers to anybody looking for an honest and easy to deal with company.

Lynch Yacht Sinking Off Sicily Proves as Baffling as It Is Tragic

As bodies were recovered, the authorities and experts wondered how a $40 million, stable and secure vessel could have sunk so quickly.

• Share full article

By Emma Bubola and Michael J. de la Merced

Emma Bubola reported from Porticello, Italy, and Michael J. de la Merced from London.

Two months after being cleared in a bruising legal battle over fraud charges, the British tech mogul Mike Lynch celebrated his freedom with a cruise. He invited his family, friends and part of his legal team on board his luxury sailing yacht, a majestic 180-foot vessel named Bayesian after the mathematical theorem around which he had built his empire.

On Sunday night, after a tour of the Gulf of Naples, including Capri, and volcanic islands in the Eolian archipelago, the boat anchored half a mile off the Sicilian coast in Porticello, Italy. It chose a stretch of water favored by the Phoenicians thousands of years ago for its protection from the mistral wind and, in more recent times, by the yachts of tech billionaires. The boat was lit “like a Christmas tree,” local residents said, standing out against the full moon.

But about 4 a.m., calamity unfolded. A violent and fast storm hit the area with some of the strongest winds locals said they had ever felt. Fabio Cefalù, a fisherman, said he saw a flare pierce the darkness shortly after 4.

Minutes later, the yacht was underwater. Only dozens of cushions from the boat’s deck and a gigantic radar from its mast floated on the surface of the sea, fishermen said.

In all, 22 people were on board, 15 of whom were rescued. Six bodies — five passengers and the ship’s cook — had been recovered by Thursday afternoon, including that of Mr. Lynch, an Italian government official said, adding that the search was continuing for his daughter.

It was a tragic and mystifying turn of events for Mr. Lynch, 59, who had spent years seeking to clear his name and was finally inaugurating a new chapter in his life. Experts wondered how a $40 million yacht, so robust and stable could have been sunk by a storm near a port within minutes.

“It drives me insane,” said Giovanni Costantino, the chief executive of the Italian Sea Group, which in 2022 bought the company, Perini, that made the Bayesian. “Following all the proper procedures, that boat is unsinkable.”

The aura of misfortune only deepened when it emerged that Stephen Chamberlain, 52, a former vice president of finance for Mr. Lynch’s former company and a co-defendant in the fraud case, was killed two days earlier, when he was hit by a car while jogging near his house in England.

Since June, the two men had been in a jubilant mood. A jury in San Francisco had acquitted both on fraud charges that could have sent them to prison for two decades. There were hugs and tears, and they and their legal teams went for a celebratory dinner party at a restaurant in the city, said Gary S. Lincenberg, a lawyer for Mr. Chamberlain.

The sea excursion was meant as a thank-you by Mr. Lynch to those who had helped him in his legal travails. Among the guests was Christopher J. Morvillo, 59, a scion of a prominent New York family of lawyers who had represented Mr. Lynch for 12 years. He and his wife, Neda, 57, were among the missing.

So, too, was Jonathan Bloomer, 70, a veteran British insurance executive who chaired Morgan Stanley International and the insurer Hiscox.

The body of the ship’s cook, Recaldo Thomas, was recovered. All the other crew members survived. Among them was Leo Eppel, 19, of South Africa, who was on his first yacht voyage working as a deck steward, said a friend, who asked not to be identified.

Since the sinking, the recovery effort and investigation have turned the tiny port town of Porticello, a quiet enclave where older men sit bare-chested on balconies, into what feels like the set of a movie.

Helicopters have flown overhead. Ambulances have sped by with the sirens blaring. The Coast Guard has patrolled the waters off shore, within sight of a cordoned-off dock that had been turned into an emergency headquarters.

On Wednesday afternoon, a church bell tolled after the first body bag was loaded into an ambulance, a crowd watching in silence.

The survivors were sheltering in a sprawling resort near Porticello, with a view of the shipwreck spot, and had so far declined to comment.

Attilio Di Diodato, director of the Italian Air Force’s Center for Aerospace Meteorology and Climatology, said that the yacht had most likely been hit by a fierce “down burst” — when air generated within a thunderstorm descends rapidly — or by a waterspout , similar to a tornado over water.

He added that his agency had put out rough-sea warnings the previous evening, alerting sailors about storms and strong winds. Locals said the winds “felt like an earthquake.”

Mr. Costantino, the boat executive, said the yacht had been specifically designed for having a tall mast — the second-tallest aluminum mast in the world. He said the Bayesian was an extremely safe and secure boat that could list even to 75 degrees without capsizing.

But he said that if some of the hatches on the side and in the stern, or some of the deck doors, had been open, the boat could have taken on water and sunk. Standard procedure in such storms, he said, is to switch on the engine, lift the anchor and turn the boat into the wind, lowering the keel for extra stability, closing doors and gathering the guests in the main hall inside the deck.

12 guests occupied the yacht’s six cabins. There were also 10 crew members.

Open hatches, doors and cabin windows could have let in water during a storm, according to the manufacturer.

The New York Times attempted to reach the captain, James Cutfield, who had survived, for comment through social media, his brother and the management company of the yacht (which did not hire the crew), but did not make contact.

So far none of the surviving crew members have made a public statement about what happened that night.

Fabio Genco, the director of Palermo’s emergency services, who treated some of the survivors, said that the victims had recounted feeling as if the boat was being lifted, then suddenly dropped, with objects from the cabins falling on them.

The Italian Coast Guard said it had deployed a remotely operated vehicle that can prowl underwater for up to seven hours at a depth of more than 980 feet and record videos and images that they hoped would help them reconstruct the dynamics of the sinking. Such devices were used during the search and rescue operations of the Titan vessel that is believed to have imploded last summer near the wreckage of the Titanic.

After rescuers broke inside the yacht, they struggled to navigate the ropes and many pieces of furniture cluttering the vessel, said Luca Cari, a spokesman for Italy’s national firefighter corps.

Finally, as of Thursday morning, they had managed to retrieve all but one of the missing bodies, and hopes of finding the missing person alive were thin. “Can a human being be underwater for two days?” Mr. Cari asked.

What was certain was that Mr. Lynch’s death was yet another cruel twist of fate for a man who had spent years seeking to clear his name.

He earned a fortune in technology and was nicknamed Britain’s Bill Gates. But for more than a decade, he had been treated as anything but a respected tech leader.

He was accused by Hewlett-Packard, the American technological pioneer that had bought his software company, Autonomy, for $11 billion, of misleading it about his company’s worth. (Hewlett-Packard wrote down the value of the transaction by about $8.8 billion, and critics called it one of the worst deals of all time .) He had been increasingly shunned by the British establishment that he sought to break into after growing up working-class outside London.

He was extradited to San Francisco to face criminal charges, and confined to house arrest and 24-hour surveillance on his dime. In a townhouse in the Pacific Heights neighborhood — with security people he jokingly told associates were his “roommates” — he spent his mornings talking with researchers whom he funded personally on new applications for artificial intelligence. Afterward, he devoted hours to discussing legal strategy with his team.

Despite his persistent claims of innocence, even those close to Mr. Lynch had believed his odds of victory were slim. Autonomy’s chief financial officer, Sushovan Hussain, was convicted in 2018 of similar fraud charges and spent five years in prison.

During Mr. Lynch’s house arrest, his brother and mother died. His wife, Angela Bacares, frequently flew over from England, and she became a constant presence in the San Francisco courtroom during the trial.

After he was finally acquitted, Mr. Lynch had his eye on the future. “I am looking forward to returning to the U.K. and getting back to what I love most: my family and innovating in my field,” he said.

We guarantee to represent your boat better than any other broker in South East Queensland. 

If your boat is presented to its highest potential, you can expect the highest offer for your boat.

What do I need to do to get my boat ready for sale?

First impressions count! To get the highest possible price, you must make sure your boat presents well. You can do this by making sure it’s clean and uncluttered. Clutter is a horrible first impression and makes photography very difficult. The less you have on a boat, the larger it looks and feels. 

We understand you may still have personal belongings on board, however we recommend you do your best to keep them hidden from sight. Most of the time, a buyer will know instantly if they are buying the boat or not, so it is worth spending a bit of time and a couple hundred dollars to ensure the boat is in tip top shape.

Most buyers will check every nook and cranny, including the bilges which speak volumes and spark questions around whether the boat has leaky hatches, engines etc. 

SCYB highly recommends any vendor getting their boat ready for sale to empty and clean the bilges with an environmentally friendly detergent.  Clean bilges is also beneficial for a boat owner, so that if any leaks appear you will know straight away. If the bilge already has oil and water in it you won’t notice if you get a new leak.

Engine Room:

Once again, the engine room says a huge amount about how a boat has been maintained. Oily engines with flaky paint are red flags for potential buyers. Give your engine a wipe down and even respray it with some high temp paint, it will make a world of difference.

Although not always important, a smelly boat could turn buyers away. Keep your toilet clean and free of any smelly odours. Bad smells could indicate problems with the hoses and/or sewage systems. It is worth making sure the head is in good working order to prevent putting buyers off.

Most used boats will not have perfect sails; however, bad conditioned sails can turn a buyer off instantly. A little-known fact is that it can actually be quite cheap to have a sail maker clean and repair sail, which instantly appeals to all buyers.

Rust Stains: 

Most boats get rust stains. Even timber and fibreglass boats. Rust stains drip down from metal objects such as rigging, exhaust pipes, water outlets etc and can really bring down first impressions. This problem is easily rectified – you can purchase rust stain remover from any hardware or boating store and wipe them off.

The Rest of the Boat:

We suggest you do your best to ensure all items are in working order. Broken or non-functioning items devalue a vessel in the buyer’s mind. If it doesn’t work and is beyond repair – take it off the boat.    Mould and dirty surfaces can be a common occurrence, especially inside cupboards and bathrooms. This is highly unattractive to a buyer. It can be good practice to keep dehumidifiers in places that are prone to mould, and air fresheners spread throughout the boat to ensure it smells great.  All in all, for the highest chance of getting the desired price for your vessel, it must be in good working order, and be as clean and decluttered as possible. First impressions count!

After all, we are here to help you. Ask us “what can I do to help sell the boat?” We know what we are talking about and it is often easy for us to see small things that don’t require money to be spent, but can make a huge difference.

The last word

No boats are guaranteed to sell fast, even if everything is in tip top condition and smells amazing. There is no magic formula to tell how long a boat will take to sell.
