MAKE IT HAPPEN
Any boat. Any brand. None of the dealership dramas!
I use real-world experience and industry insight to help buyers avoid the wrong boat… and avoid paying too much for the right one. Whether you’re comparing options, sanity-checking a deal, or just want a second set of experienced eyes before you commit, this is the layer most buyers don’t realise they’re missing.
Behind the scenes, SONAR — our digital first mate — dives below the surface to uncover details often glossed over on manufacturer websites and socials.
The goal is simple: help you buy with clarity and confidence.
Buying a boat should be exciting — not a gamble or a guessing game.
START HERE
Expert Second Opinion
Before you sign anything, get an experienced second opinion on the boat, the pricing, and the deal.
Most buyers don’t get burned because they’re careless — they get burned because no one showed them what to look for, what to ask, or what “normal” actually looks like in today’s market.
I’ll give you a straight, buyer-focused take on the boat, the pricing and the deal — including the things that usually only become obvious after the paperwork is signed.
Just as importantly, it gives you breathing room. Many clients simply say, “I’m getting Angelo at Boat Experts to go over the deal before I commit.” That alone takes the heat and emotion out of the conversation while you make a clear-headed decision.
Every Expert Second Opinion includes a full sanity check of the boat, the numbers and the fine print — so you know exactly what you’re committing to.
Because I prioritise the buyer, the goal isn’t to rush you to the finish line — it’s to make sure the decision stacks up before you get there.
What you get:
-
A straight assessment of the boat you’re considering — and whether it genuinely suits how you plan to use it
-
A pricing and value check against the current market
-
A red-flag scan covering specs, inclusions and common gotchas
-
The exact questions I’d be asking the dealer before proceeding
-
Clear next steps: proceed, negotiate, or walk away
From AUD $375 per deal
Independent. Confidential. Buyer-focused.
Hi, I'm Angelo, your personal
boat expert.
After decades reviewing, designing, marketing, and selling boats for other people, I know how exciting — but often overwhelming — buying the right boat can be.
That’s why I launched Boat Experts — a personalised advocacy service for trailer-boat buyers who, unlike the big-boat end of town, have largely been left to fend for themselves… until now.
My mission is simple: put YOU in the helm seat by removing the stress, pressure, and guesswork from buying a boat. I work for you — not the dealers — and I bring the experience, contacts, and inside knowledge to help you make the right call before you commit.
If you’re looking at a new or near-new trailer boat — or a smaller moored boat in the 14’–30’ range — no need to go it alone. I’ll help you navigate the potential minefield so you never feel out of your depth.
DON'T MISS THE BOAT
Helping you buy the right boat is my business.
And I know a great deal about what a GREAT DEAL really looks like — not just on paper, but out on the water where it actually matters!

POWERED BY SONAR
Smart tech.
Real-world boat intel.
SONAR is our digital first mate — short for Smart Objective Navigation And Research — working quietly in the background to keep buyers one step ahead.
It scans real listings, specs, dealer packages and online pricing across the market to spot things like inflated margins, lowball trades, missing inclusions, spec mismatches, and the small details often glossed over on manufacturer websites and socials.
On its own, that’s useful.
Paired with decades of on-water experience and industry insight (what I like to call Angelo Intelligence™), it builds a much clearer picture of what you’re actually looking at — before momentum and emotion take over.
The result? Fewer surprises. Better decisions. Less buyer’s remorse.
HAVE YOUR SAY
Informed buyers.
Better boating outcomes.
These are some of the many buyers who trusted me to make sure their deal was above board.
Hi Angelo, appreciate you going over everything. The last time I felt this certain was when I said yes to getting married! We’re leaning toward the Harris now.

Thanks for your help today, Angelo – you’re a true gentleman. A booze bus checkpoint tried to slow me down, but I made it. Let’s lock in that Welshpool flathead mission when the Barcrusher arrives"

The boat arrived this afternoon and it’s absolutely amazing. We’re thrilled with it — and your weekend reply was a surprise! You’ve been fantastic to deal with from start to finish."
