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.

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.

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.

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

Hi Ant,

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. To purchase a 2010 model with all the additional fit out far exceeded our expectations of what we could have afforded, to buy in Australia would have seen us in a much older vessel with minimal fit out.

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 Jeacocke – NIANTIS (soon to be renamed “TEENA MAREE”)

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.

Cheers.

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

After 2 1/2 years of researching brands, models, and the associated pros, and cons, of each of my 3 favourite catamaran manufacturers, I recently bought a 2005 Fountaine Pajot, Lavezzi. The sale was brokered by Ant, from World Wide Boat Brokers, and I am very happy with the professionalism of Ant and his company.

I first met Ant at his Mooloolaba office in March of 2018 and told him I was researching 3 brands in preparation of purchasing my first ocean going catamaran. 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.

“When we first looked at purchasing a boat, we looked at boat lawyers and questioned if we should go with a broker, as our purchase was from afar and thus we imagined all sorts of complications and difficulties.  Who do you trust with your purchase of a lifetime?

In the end, 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!”

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. He pointed out all the extra features that had been added to make this boat so special. He took us to view the boat and allowed us to walk through and inspect it at our leisure, answering all our questions and explaining how things worked. He had a very good understanding of all the practical functions. 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. We felt free to photograph anything and everything in order to show our son what everything looked like inside, as he was unable to inspect the boat himself. 
Later we did a sea trial which was most instructive, having a skipper aboard, Ant was free to walk around with us as we filmed and photographed sails being put up and taken down, ropes being tidied away, etc. The skipper also told us about little safety issues and answered many 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 persons 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.
Anthony Kovacevic 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 multi million dollar boat with his helpfulness, knowledge, efficiency and friendly attitude.

This is our 4th boat and this is by far our best experience with buying a vessel.

Once again Thank You Ant for all your help and advice.

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.

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.

Happy New Boat Owner

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.

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.
