Classic motor yachts for sale

Owning a beautiful classic motor yacht can provide the ultimate luxurious pleasure, allowing you to explore wherever you choose, although diesel costs and maintenance can be expensive.

However, these boats are not just about luxury; they can also be tough and capable converted fishing boats, making them perfect for longer voyages. If you are looking for a boat that combines the best of both worlds, then a classic motor yacht could be ideal.

Liveaboard boats for sale UK

There are several advantages to purchasing cabin cruisers and motor boats. One of the main bonuses is that they are easier to handle than sailing yachts, and you don’t need to worry about sails. Another benefit is speed, meaning motor yachts can travel longer distances in less time without depending on the wind. Other advantages include a shallow draft that allows motor yachts to dock in tiny bays and shallower marinas to get shore power.

You’re usually going to have the luxury of hot and cold water, a sea toilet, a double berth for overnight stays, a seating area, a main cabin and a bow thruster. Wooden Ships has access to a small number of traditional motor yachts for sale, making your dream of owning a classic boat reality.
