A discreet, hand-picked selection of motor and sailing superyachts from 24 metres and above — represented by the Leigh-Smith Yachts brokerage team.
Leigh-Smith Yachts is one of Australia’s most experienced superyacht brokerage desks, representing buyers and sellers of significant motor and sailing yachts both at home and across the world’s major cruising grounds. We act as your buyer advocate — sourcing globally, negotiating discreetly, and closing every transaction through an Australian solicitor’s trust account so your money is protected from first deposit to delivery.
A dedicated superyacht desk representing buyers and sellers across Australia, the Mediterranean, Asia-Pacific and the Americas — from a single Gold Coast point of contact.
Engaged exclusively for the buyer, we sit on your side of the table — sourcing, vetting, negotiating and project-managing the purchase end-to-end, with no listing-side conflicts.
Access to on- and off-market vessels worldwide through established broker, shipyard and central-agent relationships — not a public-listings aggregator.
Six decades of personal relationships with surveyors, class societies, captains, designers and yards — the people who quietly determine whether a deal is the right one.

Buyer and seller funds are held in an audited Australian solicitor's trust account, with contracts drafted and reviewed by maritime lawyers — your money is protected at every stage of the transaction.
Superyacht transactions routinely involve seven and eight-figure transfers across borders. We close every deal through an audited Australian solicitor’s trust account, with deposits, balance funds and acceptance payments held under statutory protection until contractual milestones are met.
Memorandums of Agreement, bills of sale, escrow instructions, registration, import documentation and flag-state filings are all drafted and reviewed by experienced maritime counsel — protecting buyers and sellers in equal measure.
Audited, regulated and bonded — your funds are quarantined from operating accounts until the deal conditions you agreed to are met.
MYBA / IYBA-style contracts adapted for Australian law, with full international transferability.
Direct relationships with the world's finest motor and sailing yards — new-build slots, semi-custom briefs and brokerage referrals.
Flag selection, VAT/GST, temporary importation and delivery logistics handled end-to-end.
Six decades and several hundred yacht transactions later, our value is in the people we know — current owners, captains, designers, classification surveyors, shipyards and the trusted advisers around them. When you buy or sell through Leigh-Smith, you inherit that network.
We agree the cruising program, capacity and budget, then sign an exclusive buyer-advocate or sale mandate so our duty of care sits clearly with you.
Global search across central agents, shipyards and our owners' network — including off-market candidates — distilled into a tightly shortlisted brief.
Sea trials, surveys and class reviews coordinated worldwide; commercial terms negotiated discreetly on your behalf, never the other side's.
Funds held in an Australian solicitor's trust account, MOA and bill of sale drafted by maritime counsel, registration, import and delivery all coordinated through to handover.
