Hello Sailors!
Nothing like a good book, some warm sun and a drink to look forward to as we view winter around the corner. But wait. Notice how the 'good book' has gone missing - replaced by a Kindle. And notice that the I Pad or Tablet has replaced the Herald and even a magazine? The letter box is fast becoming superfluous to requirements along with a drop in magazine sales as we constantly turn to technology to entertain, keep in touch and be informed. Frame the aerogramme and put the fountain pen on display! Much the same with boats really. Luckily, we sell brands that keep in touch with what buyers really want. So have a look at what we have in store for you via our website. | |

The 78 is like the little sister to the 98 Ocean Explorer, offering the same great features but in a more compact size.

They worked closely with renowned Dutch architect Guido De Groot and a team of international consultants to create a modern take on the long-range yacht. They also leveraged Jet Tern Marine's top-notch construction quality and their reputation for innovation in the displacement yacht sector. | |

Absolute 48 Coupe: 1/3 Ownership | |

The Affordable Alternative to Boat Ownership!
Yachtfinders Global presents a smart solution for those who don't have enough time to fully enjoy their boat: Fractional Boat Ownership. You can purchase a half, third, or quarter share in one of our luxury boats, allowing you shared use throughout the year. This means you only pay a fraction of the full price and ongoing costs yet still enjoy the boat as much as a sole owner. Yachtfinders Global ensures smooth sailing with a comprehensive contract. This isn't timesharing; it's sharing the expense of ownership. Each owner actually owns the boat and uses it when it suits them. Why own 100% of a boat you use less than 25% of the time? You can either get more boat for your money or spend less money for your boat. If this sounds like a better fit for your lifestyle than conventional ownership, contact us today to learn more! | |

Biggest 38' Family Cruiser in the World! | |
| |
The Selene 38 Voyager aft cabin is a true legend. This elegant and sophisticated yacht has been cruising the waters of British Columbia, the Bahamas, the Greek islands, and Southeast Asia for decades. Its unique layout, which ensures privacy for four people or two couples, has made it incredibly popular. Thanks to its moderate size, it can be hauled out by the smallest Travelift and accommodated in almost any marina worldwide. Designed by Howard Chen and the renowned marine architect Ted Hood, winner of the 1972 America’s Cup, the Selene 38 Voyager boasts classic lines and remains one of Howard Chen’s favorite yachts.
