Roles
- Vice Chair, Superyacht Group Great Barrier Reef Committee
Andrew Rokstad has worked in the Marine Industry since 2003, predominantly with commercial passenger vessels. Andrew was a captain on vessels 24m-35m for 11 years, 3 years as Operations & Maintenance Manager for a fleet of 4 vessels moving up to General Manager of Operations. During this time he fostered close working relationships with local shipyards, suppliers and service providers who regularly service Superyachts visiting the Cairns region. In 2018, Andy was appointed Marina Manager for Ports North, a role he held until May 2025. During this time, he significantly expanded his knowledge of marina facilities and the services provided.
A large part of his role involved liaising closely with captains, crew, and agents. With both his previous experience in the marine sector and the expertise gained in this position, Andy developed a strong understanding of the needs and expectations of visiting superyacht captains and crew.
