Ian Mackenzie

Business Owner / Sales Broker

Ian is the business owner of Catamaran Company with 34 years experience in the Marine Industry. His passion for all things boating and the ocean is evident, having built two boats, completed 40,000 sea miles and still sailing regularly.

Ian’s vast knowledge of sailing and catamarans is well respected in the industry, offering buyers specialised advice and having them return to Catamaran Company to sell the boat they purchased years prior.

Ian has created a boutique brokerage that has stood the test of time as a result of his enthusiasm for boats, stating… “This is my hobby that I am still enjoying 34 years on, as it doesn’t feel like work”.

Sam Martel

Sales Broker

Sam has been sailing since he was 7 years old and still loves spending time on the water. Having owned and sold a number of his own boats and gone sailing on many more, Sam enjoys anything from racing on Skiffs to sailing across the Tasman on a Volvo 60 or just a weekend out windsurfing.

Currently a qualified Offshore Yacht-Master and Commercial Skipper, Sam has a background as a sailing and windsurfing instructor in addition to running adventure therapy through sailing expeditions.

When he’s not on the water, you can find him hiking, camping, or fishing.
