From the camera to the helm.

Jane McNeill has been a high-end boat broker for more than ten years. She is the founder and CEO of The Yacht Business by Jane McNeill, the luxury brokerage she has led since 2015, and Australian Marine Sales, which supplies and installs marine equipment Australia-wide. Both operate from Sydney Boathouse and the Gold Coast.

Before boats, Jane worked in front of the camera as a model, appearing in campaigns for a range of brands and working on films including Rush with Chris Hemsworth. That background in presentation shows up in every boat she lists: she knows what makes people stop and look.

Today she is recognised as Australia's leading female boat seller. Her clients include some of the highest-net-worth individuals in Australia and abroad, who rely on her discretion as much as her market knowledge, and she brings the same care to first-time owners, families and women buyers.

Boats are a family affair. Jane and her family live on the Gold Coast waterways and have owned Sea Ray, Chaparral and Mariner boats over the years, so she has been on the buyer's side of the deal too.
