Sailing Yacht Builders

There are yacht builders catering for every type of yacht from small cruising vessels up to massive ocean going yachts. Standard models are obviously cheaper than custom built, and there are building yards that will be happy to show you their workmanship. There are those who welcome the opportunity to work with a client's personal yacht designer or who can provide suggestions on yacht designers we know are reputable and suitable for specific projects.

There are also builders available that build semi-custom yachts in a cost efficient manner where high standards of interior fit and finish are recognized and appreciated. This approach to yacht construction gives the benefits of a custom design without the high costs and lengthy construction cycles normally associated with a custom yacht project.

The aim of all is to build the ultimate personal sailing yacht that delivers ease of handling, calm local water sailing or world class performance, and from economic interiors to the ultimate in luxury finishing.

Hulls are available that are constructed using foam core, E-glass, Kevlar, carbon fibre, vinylester or epoxy resins, wood, and steel, while spars can be chosen from wood, aluminium, and carbon fibre.

Classic Sailing Yachts

Whether your interest is for gaff rigged, ketch or a sloop or indeed any style of classic sailer, there are yachts available to suit every taste. As well as original classic sailing yachts there are some excellent builders who reproduce classic sailing boats from a bygone age.

Sailing Yachts Charter

Whether you are seeking a relaxing yacht charter on a crewed sailing yacht, or a bareboat that you skipper yourself, the choice is amazing. You can cruise through the fjords on luxurious yachts, relax in the sun on your own private yacht, sail in the Caribbean, and even take part in hairy racing. Crewed yacht rates vary with size of yachts, numbers of people, plus options and inclusions.

There are various clubs and associations for those who wish to share their love of these beautiful craft with other enthusiasts. There are also builders, brokers and dealers who deal in sailing yachts of various types.
