Sailing Yachts For Sale

Yachts have a long and fairly resplendent history of service. The word yacht comes from a Dutch word that means "hunter," and yachts were traditionally designed to be small, quick crafts that handle well in a variety of conditions. Anchor Yacht & Ship Sales specializes in the sale and brokerage of sailing yachts from around the world.

The solo yachting craze can all be blamed on Joshua Slocum, if you think about it. Although pleasure boats have been popular with royalty and nobility for centuries, sailing alone for the sheer fun of it gained a huge boost in popularity when Slocum took his rebuilt 37-foot sloop around the world from 1895-1898. Since then, cruising has become a serious pastime and even a lifestyle for many. These days, you can find some excellent crafts that are safe, speedy, and beautiful pieces of art in their own right.

Here at Anchor Yacht & Ship Sales, we offer both used and brand new sailing yachts for sale. Depending on your disposition, level of expertise, and budget, a used yacht may make more sense for you than a brand-new one. While used sailing yachts can offer a distinct initial financial discount, purchasing one brings with it some level of risk that a new sailing yacht's warranty deftly avoids.

If you do choose to purchase a used sailing yacht, we can be of great service in both finding a craft and helping you make sure it's seaworthy and in excellent shape. We are experienced sailors ourselves, and we deal with sailors from across the globe. We have a network of contacts who give us inside information about specific vessels that otherwise would remain a secret. You can reach us by phone at (401) 246-2100, by fax at (401) 246-0060, or by e-mail at homeport@AnchorYachts.com should you have any questions or concerns.
