Buyer's side
Tell me what you actually need the boat to do. I find it, check it, and negotiate against your interests rather than the seller's.
Brokerage
Boats, bought and sold from the side of the table that matters.
I sail everything from Maxis and classics to superyachts and cruising boats, so I look at a boat as a sailor would — the rig, the loads, what has been replaced and what hasn't. That's the same eye I bring when you're buying or selling.
Seller's side
Pre-sale rigging and condition review, honest pricing, and a boat presented to buyers who are serious about it.
Rigging & refit oversight
Running rigging, decks and hardware specified, quoted and supervised — the work that quietly decides how a boat performs.
Crew & delivery
A good crew makes or breaks a season. I know who is skilled, who is free and who suits your boat — tell me the job and I'll put the team together, brief them, and hand over a boat that's ready to leave the dock.
How it goes
- 01
Enquiry
A call or an email — what you're after, what it's for, what it has to cost.
- 02
Search or prepare
I work the market for you, or get your boat ready to show properly.
- 03
Survey & sea trial
Rigging checked under load, systems run, the boat sailed before anyone signs.
- 04
Handover
Paperwork, delivery and the first season's rigging sorted with the same person.
Talk to me first
No listing agreements before we've spoken. Send me the boat, the plan and the number you have in mind — I'll tell you straight whether it works.
