Boats For Sale Plymouth – Ancasta

Plymouth Yacht Haven, Shaw Way, Mount Batten, Plymouth, PL9 9XH
The city of Plymouth lies on the border of Devon and Cornwall with the River Tamar forming a natural boundary - the dramatic scenery of Dartmoor on one side, and the cool sweep of the sea on the other.

Plymouth is steeped in Maritime history and is the start and finish of many international yachting races including the Transat and Fastnet. In 2010, Plymouth Sound played host to the spectacle of the Americas Cup.

Situated in a beautiful natural harbour on the south Devonshire coast between the rivers Plym and Tamar, the city first started life as a small Saxon fishing village named Sudtone (or Sutton). With its open access to the Atlantic, the town found wealth and a national strategic importance during the establishment of British naval dominance in the colonisation of the New World. In 1620, the Pilgrim Fathers departed from Plymouth to establish the second English colony in America.

Promoted as the ‘City of the Sea’, Plymouth is the sailing capital of the Westcountry with over 1500 marina berths and easy access to all the major Westcountry ports, harbours and rivers. 

The Ancasta office in Plymouth is located in Plymouth Yacht Haven, situated in the shelter of Clovelly Bay. The Five Gold Anchor Marina, which has 450 fully serviced berths offering comprehensive facilities is just minutes from the open water of Plymouth Sound.

Thank you so much for your help purchasing the yacht - couldn’t have asked for an easier process. Super pleased - staff were really helpful, friendly, and went above and beyond expectations.
