Company background:

In 1976, Nick co-founded Weatherly Yachts in the North of Ireland to build and market the Ruffian 23. Over 40 of these fine little offshore cruisers were built before Nick moved to Scotland and formed Nick Stratton Yachts to build and market a range of boats to the designs of David Thomas. The new company produced well over a hundred yachts to David's designs, including the Hydro and Bolero, both of which were outright winners of the Scottish Series and competed in international "Ton Cup" racing.

From the early 1980's and onwards Nick diversified into a new Yacht Agency and Brokerage business now operating successfully from Rhu Marina.

Brokerage:

The core business for Nick Stratton Yachts is broking yachts for clients in the UK and Europe.

Wherever your boat is lying, Nick Stratton Yachts can give you best advice on marketing through to final sale. The team at Nick Stratton Yachts are experts at valuation and produce thorough specifications with care.

Nick Stratton Yachts frequently sell boats before they reach the open market so if, as a buyer, you don’t see what you want on our list, please do talk to us. The main vehicle for reaching the market apart from a massive portfolio of personal contacts is the www.yachtworld.com website backed up by Nick Stratton Yachts’ own website, and hard copy magazine advertising.

A wide range of second hand yachts are on offer. Nick Stratton Yachts specialises in quality performance and cruising yachts. Our Brokerage List is both up to date and detailed. If you don’t find what you are looking for here, please call us anyway as we can often source boats for our clients behind the scenes.
