Paul MacDonald

About

Paul’s passion for yachting began as a young sailor. He sailed alongside Sir Peter Blake in the 1985/86 Whitbread Round the World Race on Lion New Zealand, before moving into boat building as General Manager of Marten Marine.

As a founder of Marten Spars he then joined Southern Spars as a shareholder and director, and was the Global Head of Super Yacht Sales for the past 18 years – including a half decade where he was based in Europe.

He has been a Board Member of NZ Marine (Export group), Chairman of NZ Marine (Export Group), and Chairman of NZ Millennium Cup for its European debut. Paul utilises his extensive experience to connect his clients with some of the world’s most thrilling yachts.
