As international yacht brokers Henley Sales and Charter Ltd represents boat owners all over Europe, and works in partnership with many independent and creative boat builders on the Thames and also in different parts of the country including the South West, East Anglia, Cumbria and increasingly now in France, Holland and Switzerland. Our passion is to keep the traditions of our maritime history alive by acting as brokers and advisors to other enthusiasts. Generally classic boats are cheaper to buy than their modern GRP or steel counterparts. It is true that there are maintenance costs but this means that an owner can personalise their vessel and enjoy being part of the “project”. Within Europe there are some spectacular on the water events to attend where one can meet like-minded individuals. Classic boats are beautiful so there is immense aesthetic pleasure and pride to be gained from ownership.
