World Wide Boat Brokers (WWBB) has been appointed the Authorised Agent for the HanseYachts AG throughout Queensland by Performance Cruising Yachts, the exclusive Australian dealer for HanseYachts AG. The appointment marks a significant milestone in WWBB’s continued expansion into premium new boat sales.

The partnership expands WWBB’s offering to include five internationally recognised yacht brands across both sailing and power, giving Queensland boaters access to Hanse, Dehler, Moody, Fjord and Sealine alongside its established brokerage services.

Together, these brands provide options across performance sailing, luxury entertaining and family cruising. By combining WWBB’s understanding of Australian boaters and personalised approach with Performance Cruising Yachts’ factory relationships, technical expertise and support network, customers benefit from a seamless new yacht experience from model selection through to delivery and beyond.

The appointment coincides with the launch of WWBB’s new redesigned website. This allows prospective owners to explore the new brands, configure their ideal vessel, request quotations and access the new Ask Skipper AI assistant. The feature helps customers identify suitable models and connect directly with the broker best equipped to assist, creating a more personalised buying journey.

Supporting this growth is the appointment of Alex Wenger as WWBB’s New Boat Sales & Liaison, leading new boat sales across the HanseYachts AG brands. A lifelong sailor fluent in English, French and German, Alex brings international marine experience to connect Australian owners with world-class brands and shipyards.

With eight locations across Australia, WWBB’s team brings together a diverse range of marine expertise, from naval architecture and superyacht operations to competitive sailing, fishing charters and cruising. This experience complements the breadth of the HanseYachts AG portfolio, enabling the team to connect owners with vessels suited to their individual boating ambitions across some of Queensland’s most iconic cruising destinations, including Moreton Bay, the Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef.
