Mike Parker – CEO and Founder
Mike has been boating since he got his first Kayak for Christmas as a child, and being on the water has been his passion ever since. He has owned small sailing and rowing dinghies, and large yachts and launches.
​
Mike served his engineering apprenticeship with McRae Engineering in Whangarei and was actively involved in the construction, and repair of small inshore fishing vessels right up to large ocean-going purse seine tuna vessels and everything in between. His passion for all things on the water saw him open a marine refit and spray-painting company in his hometown of Whangarei, and Pacific Gloss is still running today.
​
Mike has seen every side of boat ownership during his career, and this has formed his strongly held beliefs around boat ownership. He says owning a boat should be fun, and the maintenance should be easy, and this is his philosophy when it comes to buying or selling a boat. Mike is the Managing Director of Parker Marine Group, based in Whangarei, and he brings his extensive boating industry experience to the buying and selling of new and used yachts, and launches. If you have a boat to sell, or if you’re looking to buy, then please contact Mike anytime.

Conor Brown
Kia ora,
My name's Conor, and I've had a passion for boats for many years now.
​
I grew up in Taupo around the lake and spent many years aboard Loloma as she was skippered by my Grandfather.
​
Her beautiful 40ft steel hull had no trouble powering through the lake pushed by its twin 6.2L diesel engines.
​
I later had the pleasure of watching my dad build his own flat bottom 18ft plywood boat in the driveway, and we had many happy hours fishing on, and being towed behind that little boat.
​
Couple my childhood with dad's stories of sailing through French Polynesia and having family ties to the smaller Island of Niue, I knew very quickly that boating, and the wider marine industry was something I wanted to be involved in, to facilitate a circumnavigation in the future.
In 2016-17 I moved to Tauranga to start working in fiberglass and carbon fiber superyacht construction at Pachoud Yachts. There we built Powercat’s, 60ft and above, and I learned skills that would help me better understand the stresses and requirements of ocean-going vessels. Unfortunately, in late 2018 I suffered a fall that resulted in a significant spinal injury, this meant I had to step away from the construction position I loved.
​
Almost 6 years down the track, a couple of surgeries, and some intense physio to help me learn to walk again, and my passion for boats is still unwavering. While searching for my own live aboard vessel, Mike from Parker Marine Group offered me a position with their team as a broker, for the Tauranga area, and it is my hope that I can use my skills and knowledge to assist our clients in securing quality vessels that meet their expectations.
