Recently returned from a circumnavigation, this Oyster 406 has proven her capability offshore and remains a solid, confidence-inspiring yacht for extended cruising. With the classic Oyster blend of strength, comfort and seakeeping, she represents an excellent opportunity for anyone seeking a proven live aboard or ocean passage maker. Below deck, the 406 benefits from a wide, beamy hull form that creates a notably spacious and comfortable interior for her size. The centre cockpit layout delivers excellent separation between living and sleeping spaces, giving her the cosy, private feel that l... read more

Built in 1953 by Sakuth Shipyard in Germany, this stunning 17m gaff ketch (23m includes her bowsprit) really is one of the lucky ones! She has been in the care of Arctic Shipyard in Cowes who specialise in wooden ships and their refit and maintenance of her is fully documented and photographed. All the work was carried out with the plan to preserve her heritage whilst making sure that she could continue to be sailed and enjoyed by her crews for many many years to come. Since her relaunch in April 2025 she has been gainfully employed, operating as a successful accommodation business wowing v... read more

There are not many of these useful little cruisers around now. Very solidly built, a very cheap first weekend cruiser. The high prow keeps her very dry in a seaway and there is a large boat feel down below. Simple reefing when shorthanded with a lot of the power coming from the large genoa, extended with an attractive bowsprit. Motors easily at five knots thanks to a three bladed prop, engine rebuilt in 2017. A very tidy boat for the year. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered. Register with Boatshed to see 38 extra photos of th... read more

This beautiful Bavaria 30 Cruiser is exceptionally easy on the eye - she is by far that best that I have seen and looks to have been meticulously and careful looked after. Following relaunch in April 2026, after anti foul, hull polish, leg service and a new sail drive gaiter, she looks fabulous - clean, white and shiny! Down below, plenty of windows, light woodwork and finishes really make her feel roomy and light - she was bone dry inside and still retains that "new" Bavaria smell - lovely! If you'd like a Bavaria for your family to love and enjoy, then I'd recommend you take an earl... read more

This is the Beneteau Oceanis 411 Clipper. These boats offer an amazing amount of space whether in the saloon, cabins, heads or cockpit. She is the 2 cabin layout with 2 heads. At the moment the owners are using her mainly for liveaboard and some sailing - you will see they have removed the saloon bench seat this is still available. She comes to the market appearing to be in tidy condition with recent upgrades such as standing rigging 2020, new cabin heating 2024 plus new compressor and freezer parts for the fridge. Oh and don't forget the full cockpit cover added 2023. Engine serviced July 2... read more

These great looking Elan 295s still really have a lovely, modern feel to them - very much an eye catcher! This example has certainly had a past life - I'd say that she has been well used and well loved and there is evidence of use everywhere you look. That said, a loved boat that has had a lot of use and has been looked after by her owners is a lot better in my mind, than a neglected boat that has just been left to fend for herself. To that end, she smells good, feels nice and was a dry as a bone when I photographed her. Her interior really is a pleasure - plenty of room for a boat of... read more

This is a very nice looking example of these incredibly popular family Sadler 29 yachts! Initial impressions are that she looks nice, bright and looked after - not a spot of dirt on the upper deck! She has a roomy cockpit with plenty of storage and provision for lines led aft - easier and safer sailing for all! Her interior really is a lovely place to be - completely dry, smells great and she has been really lifted by the contemporary upholstery and varnishwork - another light, bright and airy aspect to this boat! You may benefit from the 2000 Beta engine that is fitted, with appa... read more

Hallberg Rassy started as an amalgamation of the yards of two rival Swedish boatbuilders, Harry Hallberg and Christoph Rassy in 1972. They have always specialised in comfortable sailing boats suitable for longer voyages and the Hallberg Rassy 312, although one of their smaller models, definitely embodies that ideal. First built in 1979, nearly 700 312's were built making them one of HR's most popular designs. This is one of the last built, hull 658 of 700 and a Mk II with the larger portlights, slightly raised superstructure for improved headroom and increased comfort overall. She has wheel... read more

Sweden Yachts were originally set up in 1976 and commissioned to build the Americas Cup entry 'Sverige' however, they continued to produce high quality, fast cruising yachts and still do today. Initially marketed as the Comfort 34, approximately 300 Sweden 34s were built until 1986 and they remain extremely popular as their seakeeping abilities sets them aside from other family sized cruising yachts.
