World Wide Boat Brokers (WWBB), an expanding yacht brokerage in the Australian marine industry, has announced its appointment as the exclusive Australian dealer for Southerly Yachts.
This appointment marks a major milestone in WWBB’s growth, as it enters the new boat sales market with a focus on innovation, performance, and versatility.
“We couldn’t be happier with regards to this collaboration. World Wide Boat Brokers are an incredible team,” said Alex Tucker, Head of Yacht Sales at Southerly Yachts.
Further cementing its position in the industry, WWBB was also recently announced as the Queensland dealer for Excess Catamarans, a dynamic brand redefining multihull sailing.
These strategic partnerships signal a significant evolution for WWBB, bringing two world-class yacht brands into its growing portfolio.
“These partnerships reflect our deep commitment to offering Australian sailors something different and innovative that combine exceptional design, comfort, and performance,” said Ant Kovacevic, Managing Director of World Wide Boat Brokers and qualified Naval Architect.
“We’ve built our business with a global mindset and were waiting for the right brands to take us into new boat sales. Southerly and Excess align perfectly with our vision and values.”
“Both brands are shaking up the yachting world in their own right. They offer something truly unique, and we’re incredibly proud to represent them and provide expert support and service to Australian clients.”
World Wide Boat Brokers’ dual appointments with Southerly Yachts and Excess Catamarans signify a significant step forward in offering Australian sailors a comprehensive and cutting-edge selection of vessels.
WWBB has encouraged all sailing enthusiasts to discover more about Southerly Yachts and Excess Catamarans by visiting their offices across the East Coast or exploring their website.
Southerly Yachts, globally recognised for their signature swing keel system, offer an unparalleled advantage for Australian cruising.
Now entering an exciting new chapter under the ownership of award-winning superyacht builders Concept Yachts, Southerly is redefining what’s possible in performance cruising.
For Australian adventurers, the brand delivers unparalleled freedom to access and step ashore iconic destinations such as Whitehaven Beach, K’gari (Fraser Island), and the Great Barrier Reef.
“Southerly Yachts unlocks an entirely new realm of exploration,” says Ant Kovacevic, Managing Director of World Wide Boat Brokers.
“The versatility of their swing keel is a true game-changer. You can be blue water to beach accessible in just 30 seconds.”
“Imagine sailing in comfort and safety right up to some of Australia’s most pristine, shallow-water destinations—places that were previously out of reach. Southerly makes true ‘go-anywhere’ sailing a reality.”
The variable keel also offers exceptional windward performance, while its geometry can be trimmed or fully raised for optimal downwind sailing.
This flexibility makes Southerly Yachts uniquely suited to Australia’s diverse sailing conditions.
“There’s a clear gap in the Australian market for this level of adaptability,” adds Kovacevic.
“We’re proud to be the access point for bringing Southerly’s world-class craftsmanship to Australian waters.”
Excess Catamarans is redefining modern multihull sailing by bridging the gap between high-performance and cruising comfort.
Created by Groupe Beneteau, Excess was built for sailors who seek more than compromise, delivering the exhilaration of performance sailing with the ease, space, and style of a true cruising catamaran.
Designed with input from renowned former racers and built using advanced materials and innovative technology, Excess catamarans are agile, responsive, and remarkably light without sacrificing the liveaboard comfort demanded by today’s cruisers.
With their open, social layouts and versatile performance, Excess is ideally suited to the adventurous spirit of Australian sailors, whether exploring coastal waters, island hopping, or embarking on extended blue water passages.
“Queensland’s diverse waters, from the protected Moreton Bay to the open ocean, are the perfect playground for Excess Catamarans,” states Kovacevic.
“These boats are about pure sailing pleasure, the feel of the wind, the responsiveness of the helm, and the joy of sharing those sensations with friends and family. They represent the next evolution in cruising catamarans.”
