Why Buy with G.L. Watso​n?



Expert Guidance

With decades of experience, we have unparalleled knowledge of the classic yacht market. We know all the major classics and their histories, we have records of all the yachts that were built and have tracked down many to forgotten backwaters and rescued them.

Seamless Journey

Once the right yacht is identified, we act for you through every stage of the buying process. The brokerage process holds no mysteries to us, and we regularly resolve the title and registration challenges associated with yachts whose paperwork falls short of current requirements. 

Technical Knowledge

Understanding a yacht covers many aspects from structural and engineering through to all the areas of outfitting. Classic yachts will also have a history of refit and restoration. We understand these areas and know the appropriate experts to give us additional specific knowledge when required.

Owning a classic yacht is about more than possession—it's about becoming a custodian of maritime history. With
G.L. Watson & Co., you gain not just a yacht, but an expertly restored piece of marine heritage, tailored to perfection and ready for new voyages.
