Buying a Boat With Ancasta
Full Service Yacht Brokerage

Imagine stepping aboard your new yacht. Water gently laps the hull, the flawless teak deck feels warm underfoot, and a bottle of champagne is on ice ready to pop – congratulations! All that’s left to do now is slip the mooring lines and set sail for memorable adventures on the open sea. A dream come true.
And the journey to get to this point has also been something to cherish – Ancasta’s friendly and knowledgeable team has been there every step of the way to support you in finding the perfect vessel for your lifestyle, kitting it out with all of the things that you need to feel right at home, and getting everything ready for your maiden voyage.
Making Yacht Ownership Plain Sailing
Here at Ancasta, we believe that owning a boat should be an enjoyable and stress-free experience, so our experienced yacht brokers are here help you find the right boat for your needs and budget.
But it doesn’t stop there. We’ll also support you throughout your boating journey with ongoing yacht care and maintenance, and, when you want to sell or upgrade your boat, we’ll handle that too.
We believe that the experience of buying a new boat is a fundamental part of the journey to yacht ownership – those feelings of excitement, anticipation and sometimes a few nerves are all part of the adventure.
“From the first call to the purchase, to weeks afterwards the engagement was exemplary. As a newbie, buying my first boat, I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you.” F Joshi
