Campbell joins the team with a lifetime on the water behind him. He started sailing Sabots at Greenwich aged six, joined the CYCA’s original Youth Sailing Academy intake, and has raced yachts ever since, completing 16 Rolex Sydney to Hobarts and regattas worldwide from J70s to TP52s. He spent seven years aboard Ron Holland’s 72 foot “Golden Opus” as crew and later Captain, sailing over 60,000 nautical miles.
Before joining d’Albora, Campbell spent several years in new and brokerage boat sales, across both power and sail and vessels of all sizes. He is focused on guiding clients through their ownership journey and earning their trust through advice and support at every step.
Before boats, he was a sommelier in hatted restaurants, so ask him about chardonnay. He lives in Bondi with his wife and toddler and sails as often as he can.
Thornton’s pathway to boat brokerage has been far from traditional. From buying and selling motor vehicles on the side of the road before he could legally drive, to Sales, Marketing Go-To-Market positions with Tesla Motors and John Deere, Thornton has developed a unique ability to find customer solutions in any industry.
Growing up in Auckland and the Bay of Island, New Zealand, Thornton found a passion for the water and boating, turning this into a career through commercial and recreational vessel sales and operation before relocating to the Gold Coast with his young family.
Joining the d’Albora team, Thornton brings an in-depth knowledge of the local Queensland market with a sales track-record of brands including Riviera, Clipper, Jeanneau, Boston Whaler, Grady White and Belize to name a few.
If you are looking for trustworthy, results-driven professional for your next transaction, look no further than Thornton and the d’Albora Yacht Brokers team.
