About us

We are based on Poole Harbour - second only to Sydney; the largest natural harbour in the world and a stone's throw of the Solent and Cowes, the Mecca of world yachting - 30 miles from Southampton and the M3 motorway to London and Heathrow airport.

With a love for the sea and a passion for sailing, we believe we are very fortunate in offering for sale some of the most beautiful boats in the world and we consider it both our pleasure and our duty to guide you carefully towards ownership of the yacht that is right for you.

Of course there are choices to make but whether the artistry of William Fife, the balance of Olin Stephens, the sure footedness of a Buchanan or Holman and more contemporary yachts, we would want the love affair - which may start here - to be enduring.

Many of those we list may indeed be termed "Classic Yachts", conforming to fairly strict criteria for that full accolade. Nevertheless there's a host of yachts that surely qualify with such qualities of construction and sea worthiness, beauty, gracefulness and style - an almost natural quality about them - that cannot fail to inspire.

To that end we readily identify with the yacht designer and builder Nat Benjamin who said: “...I have tried to include the basic ingredients for safety, speed, and comfort, with a strong emphasis on good looks. I am not concerned with any rating system; I prefer to see men, women and children sailing with a smile. I feel it's very important to keep an eye on current trends, but not to be influenced by the glitter, only the grace.”

Our own sentiments indeed.
