Ancasta appoints group brokerage manager

Boat sales specialist Ancasta, headquartered at Port Hamble in the village of Hamble-le-Rice, near Southampton, has appointed Rob Seabourne as group brokerage manager in a newly created role.

Rob brings more than 20 years’ experience in the marine industry and rejoins Ancasta after seven years away. 

Having previously spent 16 years with the business in a variety of brokerage and new boat sales roles, he returns following senior positions with a luxury yacht sales company in Mallorca, where he oversaw sales across Germany, Spain and the Balearics.

In his new role, Rob will work with brokerage teams across Ancasta’s network to support performance, share best practice and identify new opportunities across the business.

Rob said: “I’m delighted to be returning to Ancasta at such an exciting time for the business. 

“The company has a long-standing reputation for professionalism, integrity and outstanding customer service, and I am looking forward to working with our brokerage teams across the UK and Europe to build on those strengths.

“With an exceptional network of offices, experienced brokers and an unrivalled range of sailing and motor yachts, Ancasta is ideally positioned to continue leading the brokerage market, and I’m excited to be part of the next stage of that journey.”

Rob’s appointment reflects Ancasta’s continued investment in its brokerage leadership, strengthening the business as it expands its UK and European sales network and responds to growing demand across the used boat market.

Stuart Brotherton, sales director at Ancasta, added: “This is an important appointment for Ancasta as we continue to invest in our brokerage business across both the UK and Europe.

“Rob will play a key role in supporting our brokerage teams, developing opportunities and helping drive our used boat sales business further forward.

“His combination of brokerage expertise, commercial leadership and deep understanding of Ancasta makes him uniquely qualified for this role. 

“He knows our business inside out, understands our customers and shares the values that have always set Ancasta apart.”
