SEAbbatical Summit Brisbane
Event Information
Description
*****Please note that the only space we have left on Sunday June 19th is on the Aquila 44 - the Seawind and Outremer 45 are now full *****
We are bringing together a panel of five expert guest speakers who will present a formula on how to re-energize careers and lives through an adventure at sea as part of a day-long conference, then followed by sea trials of various boats the following day to round out a full weekend and start of an exciting life experience.
There will be a collective summary of advice, information and stories, the Seabbatical Summit explores how successful entrepreneurs and professionals have managed to escape the demands of high stress working environments to avoid burnout and instead provide a focused period of time out to progressively reenergize their careers and find the time to reconnect with loved ones.
The process Brent mentions includes their 5 Waypoints to Paradise which include, 1. Plan a suitable course, 2. Purchase a boat for purpose, 3. Prosper from running your boat as a business, 4. Prepare your skills and family, 5. Prevail with a successful Seabbatical and exit plan for an efficient sale.
The event’s host, Brent Vaughan of Multihull Central explains the concept further,
“A SEAbbatical is not just a holiday, it’s an adventure and a path to self discovery all at the same time, as it tests your character in pursuit of paradise without safety nets. As one of my customers says, it’s one of the last great adventures”. Brent Vaughan
On Sunday June 19th, we will be hosting a boat demonstration day, where you will be able to come and test sail our boats. We will have an Outremer 45, an Aquila 44 and a Seawind 1250.

Brent Vaughan grew up on an island inside Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, where his family taught him to dive, fish and sail. As a young boy, he sailed onboard his uncle’s charter yacht that instilled an early appreciation of the sea and sailing. He later went onto study Business at University, with a focus on Marketing and Tourism, while promoting and booking charter boats as he worked at the local marina.
After graduating from university, he worked for 13 years as the Sales and Marketing Manager for Seawind Catamarans, that went onto become Australia’s largest sailing boat manufacturer and exporter, winning countless marketing and export awards.
During this time he helped set up dozens of charter boats for customers across Australia and overseas. Following Seawind’s move to Asia, Brent established Multihull Central, Australia’s fastest growing multihull specialist yacht brokerage, with a team of multihull expert sales agents.
Brent has become a leading expert on charter boat ownership programs with a focus on the outcomes for the boat owner.
