The marque
The story of Southerly Yachts.
Southerly builds bluewater cruisers with a party trick that changes what a yacht can do: a swing keel that lifts to a shoal draft, letting her cross bars, take the ground and lie in creeks and anchorages a fixed-keel yacht can only look at.
It is a British marque with a devoted following among sailors who want a true offshore boat that can also go where others can't.
Australian dealer
Why we represent Southerly Yachts.
World Wide Boat Brokers is the Australian dealer for Southerly. We specify, order, deliver, and support your yacht every step of the way. This isn't a boat bought unseen from overseas, but one configured with you and commissioned specifically for our waters.
We were attracted by how these yachts refuse to compromise on freedom. Innovative swing-keel technology lets owners explore shallow anchorages that most sailors can't reach, then dry out safely overnight. Proven bluewater pedigree meets genuine coastal versatility. Adventurous cruising, without the usual limitations.
The range
Southerly Yachts models
Variable-draft bluewater cruisers, built to order, that trade nothing offshore for the freedom of shoal draft.
Build & design
Engineered with intent.
The lifting keel and protected rudder are engineered as serious offshore systems, not a gimmick: deep and stiff for windward work, raised for gunkholing and drying out upright. Around them sits a properly found bluewater yacht, strong, sea-kindly and set up for long passages.
Ownership in Australia
Looked after, here.
As your dealer we handle import, commissioning and handover in Australian waters and coordinate warranty, servicing and parts locally, including the keel and its systems. For owners planning extended cruising we help specify the boat around the passages you have in mind.

At sea
A Southerly opens up a coastline: deep-draft ability offshore, shoal-draft freedom inshore. She is a go-anywhere cruiser in the most literal sense. The tide stops being a barrier and starts being an opportunity.
