38 South Yacht Sales is the only destination in Victoria for the largest range of new yachts from the largest yacht manufacturer in the world – Jeanneau.
However we are also the market leaders and experts in second hand yacht sales for not only Jeanneau, but also brands such as Dufour, Bavaria, Beneteau, Hanse, Elan, Catalina, Lagoon, Fountaine-Pajot and Nautitech.
Originally starting out as VicSail Melbourne, the business is one of the longest established yacht brokers in Australia. However around 2011, the name was changed to 38 South Boat Sales which is more reflective of the latitude that is synonymous with the heart of boating in Victoria and at the time was also taken over by former multiple Moth World Champion and twice Rolex World Sailor of the Year finalist Rohan Veal.
In 2022 it was decided to split the business up and create 38 South Yacht Sales to concentrate specifically on the sale of new and used cruising yachts, new and used sailing multihulls and new and used race yachts on Port Phillip Bay and the Gippsland Lakes.
We cover marinas such as Sandringham, Brighton, Docklands, St Kilda, Yarra’s Edge, Pier 35, Williamstown, Geelong, Martha Cove, Hidden Harbour, Mornington, Blairgowrie, Metung, Paynesville and now Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron in Brisbane due to growth in the cruising and racing catamaran market up there.
We also have over 200 years of combined staff boating experience which includes 5 x World Titles, countless National Titles, and 20 x Sydney to Hobarts races.
Feel free to ask around and you will quickly find that this level of service, experience and qualifications is unprecedented. We are also members of the BIA (Victoria) and are one of the few yacht brokers in Victoria that have a Second Hand Dealers licence.
We know boats, we own boats, we race boats and we only offer honest advice to customers and boat owners.
