000°Personal yachting

Every yacht has a story. We make sure yours is the right one, whether she was launched in 1902 or is yet to be designed.

We are the specialists in classic yachts. From timeless schooners to modern classics, superyachts and expedition vessels, we match each client to the right yacht and crew. What you see here is a selection: many of the finest yachts are never advertised, and there are no limits to what you can charter, buy, sell or build.

270°One Ocean Initiative

We only have one ocean.

Many of our yachts were built in the 1900s and sail under the power of the wind. We work with every yacht to help guests reduce their impact while on charter.
