About Peter
A life built on the water
Peter bought his first ski boat at sixteen. Boats — power and sail — have been his greatest passion ever since, and that passion became a career that now spans more than forty years and the globe.
Born in Germany and educated in Australia, Peter studied mechanical engineering and went to work for one of Sydney’s most reputable engineering consulting firms. His career then took him to the Middle East, where as Head of Sales for Caterpillar’s international division he managed sales and client relationships across the entire region — an apprenticeship in big-ticket, high-stakes, cross-border dealmaking.
The pull of the water brought him home. Today Peter is Managing Director of Fraser Yachts Australia and Director of Fraser Australasia, successfully representing buyers and sellers globally from his base at Sydney Superyacht Marina.
The approach
The client’s interests first
Peter’s longevity in this industry is no accident. Whether a client is buying, selling or building, his focus is the same: structure the transaction so it achieves the client’s objectives, in the manner most beneficial to the client.
His engineering background gives him a technical fluency few brokers can match — he reads a specification the way others read a brochure, and he asks the questions that save owners millions. His years in international sales taught him that a good deal is one where both sides feel well served, and that reputation is the only asset that compounds.
Colleagues describe Peter as a natural leader and mentor; the industry has appointed him Chair of the NSW Superyacht Association, a member of the Boating Industry Association and a Justice of the Peace. He speaks English and Russian.
Peter is
An engineer at heart
Technical fluency from day one — specifications, systems and surveys read with a professional eye, not a sales pitch.
A dealmaker
Forty years of structuring transactions so every party reaches the outcome they came for.
Global, with local roots
Fraser’s worldwide network behind every deal, with unmatched knowledge of the Australasian market.
Committed
Around-the-clock availability, unswerving attention to detail, and a genuine care for getting it right — because his name is on every transaction.
