I recently sold a Bakewell White 36 racing yacht with a view to acquiring a yacht that presented more of the creature comforts but still has the potential to be competitively raced in club and offshore races. Following my visits to this year’s Sanctuary Cove and Sydney boat Shows, I gravitated towards the Jeanneau brand [...]

After a ton of research and test sails we decided to purchase a Hanse 400E some years ago. The idea was to do some cruising with the family. We decided to keep the boat on Pittwater as we enjoyed the more tranquil environment even though we lived in the Middle Harbour area. A few years [...]

Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron chose Laurie Collins Marine and their new Integrity Motor Yachts 380 Sedan as the host boat for the Team New Zealand welcome home tour of Auckland Harbour.

John was glowing in his feedback for our new Sedan series and we took the time to ask him about his experiences with Integrity. Tell us about your [...]

Hinged transom for easy access on and off the boat, into the dinghy or for swimming. Traditional but stylish interior with a “warm” and comfortable feel. Choice of fixed [...]

Performance Boating Sales had one of our best Sydney International Boat Shows ever with five Jeanneau yachts and two Integrity motor yachts already confirmed and several other sales pending.
