Swan Marine

Swan Marine is a Western Australia–based marine brokerage specialising in the sale of commercial vessels and marine businesses across all commercial marine sectors. Proudly operating from Fremantle, WA, Swan Marine brings deep local knowledge and a strong connection to Australia’s maritime industry.

Unlike traditional brokerages, Swan Marine are mariners first and brokers second. The business is built on real-world operational experience, with a focus on matching the right vessel or business to the right buyer, and ensuring transactions are fair, transparent and commercially sound for all parties - not simply driven by a desire to close a sale.

Commercial operations are led by Mike Hourn, a Commercial Skipper with over 20 years’ experience managing and operating commercial fleets across fishing, charter, harbour services and government marine work. This firsthand experience allows Swan Marine to provide practical, experience-backed advice grounded in how vessels and marine businesses actually operate.

Swan Marine has developed a strong niche in marine business sales, including charter and tourism operations, licensed businesses and fleet packages. The team has a deep understanding of domestic and international survey requirements, licences, safety systems, crew structures and the regulatory environments that directly impact value, risk and buyer suitability in the commercial marine sector.

To support secure and efficient transactions, Swan Marine provides personalised, tailored contracts and legal support, developed in conjunction with an experienced marine legal team. This approach protects both buyers and vendors, ensures clear and equitable terms, and often removes the need for costly external legal advice or separate contract oversight during negotiations.

Beyond the transaction, Swan Marine offers personalised after-sales support and access to a trusted network of surveyors, engineers, maintenance providers and marine specialists, ensuring continuity and confidence following settlement.

With a reputation built on trust, transparency and genuine industry expertise, Swan Marine offers a brokerage service shaped by experience, integrity and a commitment to achieving the right outcome for both buyer and seller.
