Most brokerages (and brokers too for that matter), have little familiarity with traditional or classic yachts of either gaff or bermudan rig (marconi), and therefore do their best to either steer clear of them entirely, or represent them poorly. Remember, European and American classics of every type from catboats to schooners, and even Baltic traders are our speciality! We make it a point to research each and every listing to find out as much as we possibly can, and have that information available to you, the customer.

While unusual yachts represent a splendid niche for us, we also realise that most people are looking for more standard types of yachts, such as sportfisherman, trawlers, and motoryachts, and so do our best to maintain a selection of these as well. Finally, because we spend a lot of time wandering around the lesser-known boatyards in search of classic and custom yachts, we often come across boats that are either about to come on to the market, or COULD be for sale if the price was right. For this reason, if you are looking for a particular yacht, please feel free to give us a call. WE LIKE TO DO YACHT SEARCHES!

Topsail Yachts is centered and headquartered in the sailing and boat-building capital of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, and offers superlative levels of service and sales expertise including financing, insurance, moorage and equipment to fit your cruising, racing, power and sail brokerage needs. You may see us in the future on our corporate yacht 'Veteran' (see photo above), which we intend to use as a mobile office at boatshows and remote locations. Keep an eye out, and feel free to knock on the hull and say hello!

Have a look at our current listings, and check back frequently! If you don't see the boat you are looking for, please send us an email and we will scour the market to find you the right boat at the right price for you.

Best Regards,
Eric Husher CEO Topsail Yachts

Featured Boat 43' Vertens Kreuzer 1970 US$ 150,000 A beautiful and beautifully-kept classic motor-yacht, 'Ausonia II' is now available to a discerning new owner! Absolutely spotless in every respect (please have a look at the latest photos to see for yourself!), 'Ausania II' is a perfect coastal cruiser for a family or couple, with all the amenities normally associated with much larger vessels. The owner has spared no expense over the years, and the price is more than reasonable, even in these difficult economic times. The interior is elegant and refined, ready for the most discerning and sophisticated yachtsmen, and her exterior is a 'head'turner' wherever she goes! If you have been thinking of cruising the coast and islands of Scandinavia, or perhaps the rivers and canals of France, the Netherlands and Germany, you would be hard-pressed to find a more suitable yacht to do so. Please have a look at the attached photos and full specifications for more information, and I know you too will be most impressed!
