South Pacific Boat Sales is a boutique boat brokerage based in Opua in the Bay of Islands, providing professional yacht and launch brokerage services for owners and buyers across Northland and Auckland. Specialising in quality keeler yachts, catamarans, and launches, the company offers a personalised approach to boat sales that prioritises experience, integrity, and careful representation.

Owned and operated by marine broker Ron Mossman, alongside First Mate Tracye Mossman, South Pacific Boat Sales focuses on delivering a highly attentive brokerage service built on real-world boating knowledge and strong client relationships. The business represents a limited number of vessels at any one time, ensuring each listing receives dedicated attention and carefully considered market positioning.

Ron Mossman brings a lifetime of hands-on boating experience to the role. Raised in a sailing family in Auckland, he completed his first offshore passage at just ten years old aboard the family’s 65-foot ketch. Over the years he has combined extensive time on the water with successful business ownership, including ventures within the marine sector. His background in sales, negotiation, and practical boating provides clients with balanced, experienced guidance whether buying or selling power or sail.

Supporting the brokerage is Tracye Mossman, who contributes extensive marine industry experience through previous leadership roles including Project Leader for the Auckland On Water Boat Show with NZ Marine, Race Management Coordinator for the NZ Millennium Cup Superyacht Regatta in the Bay of Islands, and National Course Coordinator for Coastguard Boating Education. Her organisational expertise and client-focused approach ensure the brokerage operates smoothly while maintaining strong communication with buyers and sellers.

South Pacific Boat Sales manages the full brokerage process, from vessel preparation and professional marketing through to negotiation and completion. Listings receive tailored marketing exposure across major boating platforms, supported by professional photography and carefully written presentations designed to position each vessel effectively in the market.

Operating from Opua, the company assists clients throughout the wider region, including Gulf Harbour, Sandspit, Tutukaka, Whangarei, Kerikeri, and beyond. The brokerage also works with international buyers and sellers, offering guidance on foreign vessel registration, importation, and tax considerations.

By combining deep boating knowledge with a deliberately personal service model, South Pacific Boat Sales aims to deliver careful representation and successful outcomes for every client navigating the process of buying or selling a vessel.
