Marley spent his childhood sailing the waters of Australia’s East Coast before completing a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and Management in 2011. On completion, he started a yacht management business in Sydney where he learned the importance of being customer focused to achieve success as well as intimately learned the systems of yachts of all shapes and sizes. With an opportunity to join the crew of a 52m Superyacht in Thailand, he left Sydney chasing adventure. He went on to skipper a range of long passage deliveries around Asia including to Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and India.

In 2014 Marley was asked to deliver a Nordhavn 60 “Last Samurai” from Cabo, Mexico to Sydney, Australia. This exciting 4 month voyage through Hawaii, Fanning Island, Samoa, Fiji, New Caledonia then Sydney not only gave him intricate understanding of the N60’s systems and operations but is where his passion for the Nordhavn brand was born.

Marley went on to head up a well respected Marina and Yacht Brokerage business in Sydney where his knowledge and experience, coupled with his down to earth and honest approach lead to success. In 2020 he spent the Miami Boat Show with the PAE team onboard the N120 Aurora and also spent the 2022 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show onboard the N41 with PAE.

In early 2023 Marley unloaded the first Nordhavn 41 to hit Australian Waters and with the new owners, prepared and delivered her from Newcastle to her home Port of Brisbane. Marley received the following feedback from the owners of the N41

“We cannot speak too highly of Marley’s professionalism.  He is the consummate gentleman and we could not have undertaken what we have achieved in the last ten days without his assistance.  He is a wealth of knowledge and a great communicator.  There is no doubt that he has the expertise and professional contacts to deal with any situation.  It is obvious that he has respect at the highest level within the industry.  We appreciate PAE in providing Marley to us.  He represented your company in the best possible way and greatly set our distress at ease.  He carried this out with discretion and has given us the confidence that we are seeking” – Anthony and Anne – N41-21

He went on to join PAE as our Sales Manager for our second Australasian Sales Office and he and his team bring clients a wealth of genuine Nordhavn experience as well as a professional, honest and enjoyable buying experience. With offices in multiple locations around Australasia, he is dedicated to giving Nordhavn owners the level of service and support Nordhavn are known to deliver. Marley’s passion for the Nordhavn brand and close relationships with the entire PAE team ensures his client’s questions never go unanswered.

Always up for a chat and keen to help in any way possible, he is excited to be part of the Nordhavn Family and will ensure unwavering support for the Australasian Market.
