As you probably already know, Cobli founders Peter Hrones and John Cowpe have long been the importers for some of the worlds most prestigious brands on the water. From sail to power they have spent the last few decades supplying the Australian and New Zealand markets. Having always supported the sharing economy, they felt that now was the ideal time to offer their luxurious brands through Cobli "the art of ownership"; a high-end equity ownership company now set to enter the Sydney market place.

Commenting on this new venture; TMG Managing Director, John Cowpe noted, "We have seen so much uptake in boating during this pandemic through our group; TMG, Yoti and Eyachts - more than any of us expected. Families wanting to live life as much as is currently possible, looking at alternatives to overseas holidays, seeking a safe haven whilst enjoying adventures together."

With hundreds of millions of tourist dollars now being spent locally in lieu of overseas holidays, both John and Peter have a firm belief that launching this service for the Australian market place is both well-timed and from early indications, something that will be firmly in demand for the upcoming summer season and beyond.

"Cobli is essentially an equity share opportunity in some of the worlds most trendsetting and sought after brands. Not here primarily for affordability but here because it makes sense to time-poor people, looking for efficient usage of the asset - who want a nice step on step off tailored solution. Run by us as the importers so our clients are not paying over the odds for the equity share. Shorter terms ensure our clients are always in the latest boats and get the best resale (equity back). It is without a doubt a clever use of money." Says Marnie Ebeling the groups marketing manager.

The flagship of the company (offering upwards of 2500 square feet in floor space) is the Lagoon SEVENTY 8; currently available for €1.1million including skipper and crew, with annual exhibitions on the Australian East Coast and beyond and with 60 days on the water for each of the 4 lucky owners. Whilst those looking for family fun on a catamaran based between Sydney and the Whitsunday Islands could look at a $215,000AUD investment for a 1/6 share in the new Lagoon 42. If it's fun and adventure on Sydney harbour that you seek then the incredible Axopar 28 or 37 could be the pick of the bunch starting at $65,000 for a 1/5 share with enough room for up to 9 guests on the trendsetting 28 footer. Or take the plunge and secure your investment in the latest Italian Pardo 43...the choice is yours and never has there been such an investment in this sector providing the scope and opportunity for local investment, adventures and fun!
