Ensign Update © Ensign Yacht Group

Welcome to our update with our latest top picks and luxurious new boats which are ready and waiting for your next adventure.


We hope that you are all keeping well and happy over these unprecedented times. We wanted to let you know that despite stage 4 lockdowns, border closures and new Covid caseswe are still operating all over the country and regularly listing and selling new and pre-loved vessels.

As winter is slowly easing the good news is that we are heading into Summer! Where life on the water is exactly what everyone wants. This year especially we will likely be seeing more Australians taking time out to enjoy what our brilliant country has to offer. Just like our recent customer who has purchased a brand new expeditionary Bering B77 so that they too can go off exploring!

As the situation is ever-evolving and the majority of us settle into a new pattern, we hope that you take extra care of yourself, your loved ones and those around you.

Our dedicated team are here to help you navigate today, tomorrow and beyond regardless of your circumstances. Ensign Yachts' sales and enquiries have been up and as a result weve helped many of our customers reach their ultimate getaway dream on the water.

Nonetheless, whether youre adjusting to a new routine and are in the position to either look at or sell your boat now or youre planning for this sometime in the near future, or perhaps you just enjoy looking at boats (like most of us do!) we encourage you to look below at what we have to offer in the market!

Happyboating!

Now's the time to sell! - An update on the selling market

Now is a good time to sell! Likely better than it will be for years to come if market predictions prove true. Lower than normal supply is currently achieving much better than forecast results.

For how long we don't know! Higher than anticipated interest levels in some demographics are keeping prices very buoyant. Forecasts suggest that once the downward curve starts, it will gain momentum rapidly. Staying ahead of the curve is paramount in achieving the best possible result. As the real economic effect of Covid is realised, we expect to see more stock come to market.

However, less imports in recent years means the gene pool of stock is shallow in comparison to past years in some market segments. I would encourage more boaties to consult Ensign Yachts regarding detailed information on the trends and market movements we are seeing firsthand. Being the largest brokerage in Australia helps us see the patterns and market trends first.

Due to challenging Covid travel restrictions the Ensign network's value is more apparent than ever. Having trusted colleagues on the ground all around the country in key centers is allowing us to service the demands of the domestic, interstate and international markets better and give both buyer and seller the confidence to progress.

Recent interstate, international and virtual sales are testament to the team's commitment to move with the times and provide transparent and professional service.

Although an uncertain period lies ahead, the entire Ensign Yachts team is here to help you navigate the conditions!

- Andy Howden, MD and Head of Sales
