Types of Bluewater Cruising Yachts
Bluewater Cruising Monohulls
Bluewater cruising monohulls are valued for their reliability, seaworthiness, and efficient upwind performance. Designed to handle long ocean passages with confidence, they offer better handling in heavy weather and can maintain steady cruising speeds over long distances. Their deep keels provide excellent tracking and stability, making them a strong choice for experienced sailors seeking performance and simplicity offshore.
Bluewater Cruising Multihulls
Bluewater cruising multihulls, including catamarans and trimarans, are prized for their stability, space, and comfort at sea. With wide, open layouts and minimal heeling, they offer an ideal platform for liveaboard sailors and families seeking a more relaxed cruising experience. Their shallow drafts allow access to remote anchorages, and the dual-hull design provides added safety and redundancy for long-range adventures.

Thank you to Nick in particular, and Luca, at Ancasta’s Dartmouth office for their very professional sale of our boat, aided by some excellent pictures at sea captured by their drone. Whether it was liaising with our buyers or with the arrangements for survey and handover, we were always kept up to date. We would recommend them without hesitation.Lesley B
We have just sold our Malo 36 Katrina with the Ancasta Dartmouth team. We had Katrina on the market with one of Ancasta's competitors for 6 months with no success. Luca from Ancasta had been in touch and we decided to give them a try. In a very difficult market for selling sailboats the Ancasta Dartmouth team persevered and advised on pricing and marketing to sell Katrina. They found a good buyer and successfully managed the negotiations, survey and sea trial and completed the sale efficiently. Luca and Nick were a pleasure to deal with and provided a thorough and professional service. Be...Mike and Nicky P

The boat broker is a gift for anyone looking for a boat. He works with complete conviction and is very friendly. Thank you very much.Herbert Horsmann
From the beginning of our purchase discussions some months back through to final handover this week, the entire team at Ancasta have been totally supportive and have continuously gone the extra mile to make everything as easy and enjoyable as possible. Buying a yacht can be quite a daunting experience and it was good to always have somebody knowledgeable and experienced at the end of a phone or in close email contact to sort out the many queries and issues which inevitably arise when purchasing a boat, especially a 42’ catamaran which is being specified and fitted to undertake an imminent pass...Mr Harris
