About us

“At the end of your career, you are only left with your reputation”

Why choose me? Simply, I’m not your typical salesperson. Working for the vendors to me is a privilege, and I treat it that way to get you the best result.

I have been houseboating on Lake Eildon continuously for almost 20 years now. Over those 20 years, I have learnt a lot! Not just from personal experience, but from other generations of my family on the lake and fellow houseboat owners. I offer a fair bag of tips and tricks that you won’t get from others.

As a fellow houseboat owner, the most important thing for me is to maintain integrity, honesty and transparency, especially for new owners to the lake life and houseboats. My background in boating started when I was 5. Growing up in Adelaide, I spent a lot of time skiing and houseboating on the Murray, and offshore fishing. Throughout my career, I’ve been a mechanic, fiberglass/boat repairer, member of Victoria Water Police Squad which included overseeing the vessel fleet maintenance portfolio. I am an A grade electrician. I currently drive charter vessels and deliver private vessels up and down the east coast of Australia and I hold Commercial Vessel Qualifications.

Why am I now brokering houseboats and other vessels? Because I love it. Our family has always had boats, and it’s kept us all thick as thieves. There is nothing more satisfying than guiding new buyers to their first boat, knowing all the good times that lay ahead for them also.

For the seller, I’ll learn your boat inside and out, so you won’t have to think about it once you engage my services.

I’m pretty confident to say that I am Lake Eildon’s most experienced and knowledgeable broker when it comes to vessels and what you need to know and look for. I can teach you how to drive them, and any basic maintenance you need to keep on top of. How much detail and tuition you want is entirely up to you.

I’m not the most experienced sales person on Lake Eildon, that’s for sure, and I don’t use your typical sales tactics. I believe I offer a completely genuine experience for both sellers and buyers. That experience being friendly, honest and enjoyable.

Chris.
