“Contemplating a journey into blue water sailing later in life and with a dearth of experience I contacted Anna Manach, Nautilus Yacht Management. A few short months later, with my son, we were sailing Fiji to NZ and beginning a huge new adventure in the journey of life. I absolutely know this would not have happened had it not been for the vast capability Anna brings to the task of facilitating the transfer of a very personal possession, from one owner to the next. Anna has a unique combination of knowledge, enthusiasm and patience which makes the transfer process as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Being on the buyer side, I was conscious that I should not be a burden, however every request for information or documentation was met expeditiously and with a friendliness that I will remember forever. Anna is one in a million and whether you are a buyer or a seller of a vessel I think you will be pleased.”
Anna, Just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work on the sale of our boat and for your patience, perseverance and understanding.
A friend recommended Anna to me and I will be forever thankful to him. From the first moment when we met her I felt that she knows how to present and market a boat properly. She demanded full disclosure and a survey and encouraged me to write down everything about my boat. She is so enthusiastic and professional about what she does and that spirit can be felt in the way she creates the advertisement. Not only the facts but also the feelings. Most of her boats sell within a very short time because she does things right. I would like to recommend her to anyone with the utmost confidence. She is honest, hard working and she definitely thinks outside of the box. She helped create the video, the pictures and edited my writings to present my boat properly. I have never met a yachtbroker as knowlegeable as her. My first impression already was right and I am happy that I followed my gut feeling. She is a rockstar in selling boats.

Hi Anna, I wanted to drop you a note to thank you for your really outstanding help, guidance and patience through our recent acquisition of Samirena. Transactions all have their own ‘hurdles’ and idiosyncrasies I’m sure .... but this one covered Negotiations, Agreements, and Documents in two languages and then different Jurisdictions for de-registration and Registration, again in two languages! A convoluted process. You were amazing with steady advice and guidance throughout to completion and settlement.... No doubt your patience was at times ‘tested’ but you kept your cool and saw it through very professionally. We are very grateful and would not hesitate to recommend you and Nautilus Yacht Management to anyone seeking to do a transaction on a yacht in the Pacific! Our very Best Wishes, Bill & Lindy.
Anna was honest and professional in all her dealings with us and did an outstanding write-up and description of our boat, which no doubt helped generate interest. The boat sold quickly and there were no issues or glitches in the process. She clearly communicated what we should expect at every turn. Working with her was easy and pleasant, we would not hesitate to use her services again whether buying or selling a yacht.
We've been around the block as blue-water mariners & conservation scientists on voyages spanning three oceans, working at sea. Across many countries and ports we've interacted with plenty of brokers, boat experts, surveyors, fixers and shipwrights. In all of these categories we've never met anyone with Anna's drive, capacities and combined skill-at-the-arts. If you have an opportunity to work with her you will find fresh wind, enjoy yourself, and count yourself lucky!! Anna handled all of the complex aspects of selling a 30 ton steel ketch, blue-water cruiser, SV Llyr, out of the SW Pacific with savvy, honest marketing, adroit skill, and earnest strong relationships that are the hallmark of a professional who is passionate about her work and life. That passion, tied to knowledge, is infectious and builds the perfect environment for seller and buyer to find each other and develop confidence and trust. In addition, as challenges in the field, or need for additional services, arose, Nautilus Yacht Management drew on their well of talent to solve any requirement, from captaincy, delivery, survey, insurance, and crew to keep us all on track and moving forward. Anna Manach's reputation is impeccable, Nautilus Yacht management's international reach is stellar and magnetic. If you are lucky enough to list and work with Anna & team you will feel fortunate, make new capable friends, and have a really fun experience! Sincerely, Brooks & Janis
