Ray White Marine – the largest full service marine brokerage in Australasia – has continued its national expansion program and established a new office within the exclusive Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Showroom in Melbourne.

Already with a strong local presence on the Gold Coast, Sydney and in Auckland, Ray White Marine is opening its doors in Melbourne, one of Australia’s two largest cities and luxury motor yacht markets.

CEO and founder Rick Rodwell said the business already had many existing luxury yacht clients in Melbourne, which was home to the highest number of megayacht owners (above 40m) in Australia, so the initiative will also provide local support for both these new and pre-owned brokerage vessel owners.

The business draws on its base of worldwide industry colleagues to identify, source, and survey the right vessel, with its specialist brokers often travelling to Europe, Asia or the US to personally inspect recommendations on behalf of their clients.

“Ray White Marine’s Melbourne office will provide the Victorian market with the first sales and service presence of a leading global euro luxury motor yacht brand as the exclusive Australian and New Zealand distributor for Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, and the iconic Riva marque. Other brands in the Ferretti Group include semi displacement and planing yachts from Custom Line, and the full custom superyacht from 45m to 90m built by the CRN shipyard,” Mr Rodwell said.
