classic style boat FAQ

We're committed to making yacht buying easier, so if you can't find what you're looking for just ask.

  • Because classic yachts are not one type, instead conforming to a previous and celebrated design, many different yachts styles can fal into this camp. As our overview review states, there are certain, common classical style notes, and these can create some defined yacht types.

    Common classic designs include the Picnic Boat, the Lobster Boat, the Pilothouse, the Gentleman's Launch or Yacht, which all conform to similar design traits. 

  • This is not always the case, but it is fair to say that classic yachts often sit at the higher end of the market. This is partly due to economies of scale with smaller yards, building fewer yachts. At the same time there is often greater personalisation on offer, with a high degree of detail and quality materials.
