Paul Flaherty

Paul has always been around media since he was young. His father worked building ships at the State dockyard before entering radio, TV and then starting one of the largest advertising companies in Newcastle. It was then he learnt his first trade of Cine-cameraman and worked as a freelance operator for many years for most of the major TV stations and media companies.
Paul’s Grandfather was a merchant seaman so he has always been around and involved with boats and discovered a love for them in his late teens.
Before starting with Buyaboat, Paul was traveling around Australia and the Pacific with ET (Andrew Ettingshausen) filming “Escape With ET”. This involved many long live-aboard sea journey’s at places like NZ, Fiji, Vanuatu, New Guinea, The Solomons, NT, SA, QLD, WA and more.
Paul had to attain his commercial drone license while filming and has racked up many hours flying at sea in adverse conditions.
Paul’s specialty is fishing boats, from small lake and estuary, to larger game boats.

Paul loves all types of boats and this shows in his passion for them.
