A word from the Marine Brokers Association

It’s a great lifestyle and one of the most enjoyable experiences imaginable. Recreational boating on the spectacular waterways of NSW. And nobody knows more about how to get the most out of it than members of the the BIA Marine Brokers Association.

At any member BIA Marine Brokers Association outlet, families who are keen to get in to boating, will find a professional team ready to show them what the joys of boating are really all about.

They can advise them on what type of boat best suits their needs. Whether it’s for cruising, fishing or skiing. They can help with the purchasing process, provide assistance in securing finance, and offer specialised service and any ongoing support they might need.

Member brokers sell a range of boats up to 200 ft, with great value options all designed to accommodate every family’s needs. At Ensign Ship Brokers at The Spit in Mosman, they offer the largest boat brokerage boat network in Australia with hundreds of boats available in all types and sizes for all budgets.

"We guarantee that we can find a boat that meets anyone’s budget, size and style requirements and we have a range of fantastic entry level cruisers for those looking to try boating for the very first time," said Andy from Ensign.

"Plus, as agents for the Bavaria range of motor yachts, we are finding our new Bavaria 34 Hard Top is a fantastic boat for those looking for the latest European styling, excellent performance and a realistic price tag."

BIA Marine Brokers Association members can show customers not only how to operate and navigate a boat, but where the best spots are to drop anchor. Simply because they know the Sydney’s waterways like the back of their hand.

Andrew Moore from Andrew Moore Marine at the Royal Motor Yacht Club in Newport, has a long and proud reputation for offering vendors and buyers a personalised service, local knowledge and quality boats for sale.

"For the convenience of our buyers and vendors, almost all our boats for sale are located here on the marina for ease of inspection. We have a permanent sales berthing area in the most prominent position on the marina, where you can browse and inspect one boat after another for direct comparisons." said Andrew.

Boating in NSW can be a great family experience. The specialist BIA Marine Brokers Association members are ready to show everyone just how special it can be. And there is a great online resource to assist with questions you may have about boating in NSW called www.boatforlife.com.au.
