About Premier Yachting

A Melbourne brokerage trading continuously since 2001, run by named brokers with declared specialties.

Our story

Premier Yachting was formed in 2009, taking over the Webster Marine Melbourne boat dealership and brokerage, which had operated in Melbourne since 2001. The original Webster Marine business continues to operate separately in Gippsland.

Today Premier Yachting sells new and pre-owned sail and power vessels across Australia, brokers marina berths as Victoria's only dedicated specialist in that category, and works with an international network of affiliate brokers across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific and New Zealand.

Living up to the highest of ethical standards is vitally important in developing and maintaining clients in this industry. Our strength lies in the development of our relationships with our clients.— Jim Sismanes, CEO & Senior Yacht Broker
