About Power and Sail Marine
More than just a brokerage
Power and Sail is one of WA leading Boat Brokers offering years of yachting experience. Whether you’re looking to purchase a preloved vessel or sell your boat, Power and Sail is here to help. We focus on the customer and their needs, we treat brokerage as a people business, focusing on offering tailored customer service to each of our clients. We firmly believe that a brokers role in the sales process is to listen and learn from our buyer or seller. We are committed to the journey and these strong relationships are why we sell boats 2, 3 or 4 times for their different owners.
The business was originally founded in 2008 by Neil Mason, after working in the WA boating market and recognising a need for a personal, quality driven company which operated with the highest integrity and minimum fuss.
Power and Sail Marine now operate the company from South Fremantle, Western Australia. We have developed great relationships with each of the boat yards and Yacht Clubs across WA, there’s no marina we won’t sell out of.
The business now also has a designated sales area in an extensive facility located in Wangara, WA, (off Ocean Reef Road, North of the River) which is managed by Boatox, an excellent place to house, detail or have the in-house mechanic service your boat. We have a number of boats at this facility for clients to climb on and get the feel of.
The company is driven by a focused solution led team, passionate about boating, who work 7 days a week up and down the coast of WA from Mindarie to Esperance. The team is composed of three yacht brokers – Lachlan, Dave and Ben. Dave and Ben manage our bustling Wangara facility and Lachlan is shore side, selling luxury motor yachts to trailer boats up and down the coast.
The team operates in a friendly and effective way safeguarding buyers and sellers with impartial and honest advice. So call us 7 days a week to find out more.

After 16 years of incredible service to the Marine Brokerage space, Neil sold Power and Sail Marine to Lachlan Boyd in August 2024.

Neil Mason
Previous Owner & Mentor
Neil founded Power and Sail Marine in 2008 after years of boating experience gained whilst serving in the Royal Navy from the age of 17. He worked on aircraft carriers for extended periods of time, launching and recovering aircraft on flight decks, where he discovered his love for the water. Neil travelled to Fremantle in 1986 to witness the America’s cup and was hooked on boats and Australia.
In 2020, he established a valuable partnership to operate the brokerage activity in Blue HQ’s extensive boat storage facility where over 400 vessels are housed- the largest of its kind in Western Australia. This is testament to the company coming of age and has cemented the level at which we operate in being a progressive service led organization. Working with the highest ideals to ensure our stakeholder are justifiably proud of the way that we do business.
Neil has passed the business on to Lachlan Boyd and besides coffee catch ups and offering advice from time to time, has no further involvement in Power and Sail Marine

Testimonials
We listed our boat with Lochie at Power & Sail Marine and could not fault his professionalism and commitment to finding a buyer. His communication with us was excellent and he made the process easy. Thanks Loch.

I have just sold my commercial charter vessel with Lachie and the team at Power and Sail Marine. The professionalism, communication and result we’re all first class and I highly recommend anyone doing business with them. Even me being 3500kms away didn’t deter him.
Thanks for getting me the result I was looking for.

Outstanding Broker!!
Went way above and beyond in selling my Caribbean 35 and he earned every cent of the commission plus some.
Couldn’t recommend Lachlan enough!
Wouldn’t hesitate in engaging Power and Sail in the future.
Greg Stacey
Seller Caribbean 35
Lochie has been a fantastic facilitator in both the purchasing and selling processes we have experienced in the buying and selling of our vessel. Nothing is too much trouble, he goes above and beyond to achieve positive outcomes for all parties involved.
