Buying

Buying a classic yacht

Buying a classic yacht is rarely only about length and budget. We help you weigh condition, provenance, intended use and the true cost of ownership.

01

Tell us how you sail

Share how you like to sail or cruise — coastal weekends, bluewater passages, classic regattas, or a quiet family boat — and any designers or eras you favour.

02

Shortlist with care

We narrow the field using live listings and our knowledge of the wider classic market, then talk through the strengths and compromises of each candidate.

03

Survey & complete

From survey and negotiation through contracts and handover, we stay with you so completion is as considered as the search.
