PETER HANSEN YACHT BROKERS IS A LONG-ESTABLISHED

BUSINESS IN TROPICAL QUEENSLAND WITH DECADES OF POWER

AND SAILBOAT SALES, WRITES KEVIN GREEN

P

eter Hansen Yacht Brokers’

current owner Ben Anderson

bought the business eight

years ago from Peter Hansen.

“The brand has been

around for a long time, so we like to

think we’re doing a good job,” Anderson

told Trade-a-Boat.

Located at the edge of the famous

“100 Magic Miles” that comprise

the world-class cruising area of the

Whitsunday Islands, the Mackay-

based business is ideally positioned.

Over the years, services have grown

to encompass real estate around

the modern Mackay Marina Village

and even the marina itself which is

managed by the brokerage – satellite

brokerages include Bundaberg and

an affiliated office in Raby Bay (south

Brisbane).

A major plus is the brokerage’s ability

to offer prospective owners a complete

package of sales, marina and even

chandler services that make the whole

buying process much easier and less

stressful, said Anderson.

“We have many repeat customers

and pride ourselves in getting the right

or at least best boat for the buyer,”

Anderson added. Other advantages of

the Mackay township include having

outlets for several of the major engine

brands, including Cummins, MTU and

Caterpillar.

MARINA FEATURES

The Mackay Marina is a convenient

base for exploration of the world-

famous Great Barrier Reef and the

myriad tropical islands of the southern

Whitsundays. The reef and islands off

the Mackay coast are relatively unspoilt

compared to the heavily touristed areas

farther north.
