Colin Rees

Colin has been with Busfield Marine for 25 years as an established leader in New Zealand's yacht brokerage industry.

He holds a degree in boat design, and worked under the prestigious yacht design firms of John G Alden and Ray Hunt Associates in the states before cruising in his own yacht for a few years to arrive in New Zealand.

Colin has also worked as a professional yacht captain in the Caribbean, the USA and as a yacht delivery skipper with more than 100,000 offshore miles on many different vessel types.

During his time at Busfield Marine, Colin has brokered the sale of over 500 yachts and launches, with a high percent being sold to repeat customers due to his reputation and trustworthiness.

Colin believes that the sale and purchase of a boat is a personal experience and should be positive and stress free for both the buyer and seller. He provides his advice freely, using his connections and experience to the advantage of his customers. In essence, Colin 'knows boats and the market' and will strive to ensure you make the best decision when purchasing or selling a boat.
