Ancasta Expands Yacht Sales Expertise Across Power and Bluewater Cruising

We are delighted to announce our continued investment in the expertise we offer our clients. Two new appointments strengthen our specialist knowledge across both bluewater sailing and luxury motor yachts.

Harry Lightfoot – Brokerage Manager, Ancasta Hamble

Harry Lightfoot is joining our office at Port Hamble as Brokerage Manager. He will also take on the role of in-house Brand Manager for Contest Yachts.

Harry brings more than ten years’ experience in yacht sales, with particular expertise in large, ocean-capable sailing yachts designed for extended offshore cruising and circumnavigation. His appointment gives you access to additional bluewater cruising knowledge, including practical insights and technical considerations for long-distance cruising.

“Ancasta has built a strong presence in both the UK and international brokerage markets, underpinned by the breadth and quality of the brands it represents. I’m very pleased to be joining a company with such a well-established reputation and experienced team, and I look forward to contributing to its continued success, particularly within the bluewater and offshore cruising sector.” – Harry Lightfoot
