Topsail Yacht Brokers – Classic Boats, Friendly Service

Topsail Marine Yacht Brokers has been trusted by boat buyers and sellers for over 30 years. In 2022, Lydia and Danny took the helm, bringing fresh energy while keeping the same commitment to quality service, attention to detail, and honest advice.

Lydia runs the day-to-day operations with care, precision, and exceptional attention to detail. With a background in customer service and past experience as a yacht owner, she understands the importance of clear communication, honest listings, and a smooth sales process from start to finish – whether you’re selling your beloved yacht or finally buying your dream boat.

Danny lives in Greece and works as a flotilla skipper. He holds a commercially endorsed Yachtmaster Offshore certificate and brings a professional sailor’s insight into the brokerage, although he’s not involved in day-to-day operations. Between them, Lydia and Danny ensure that Topsail continues to offer an expert, down-to-earth service with a personal touch.

We specialise in the sale of traditional yachts and Norfolk Broads vessels, but you’ll also find a varied selection of classic and modern boats on our books – from sailing yachts and day boats to motor cruisers and launches. Our listings span the UK and beyond, and we’re always happy to represent well-loved boats wherever they may be.

Topsail is an internet-based yacht brokerage, so our website is our office. We create detailed, honest listings in-house and make them available to buyers 24/7/365, helping us reach a wide and international audience. Most of our business comes from repeat clients and personal recommendations – something we’re incredibly proud of.

We hold ourselves to the highest standard of service: the same we’d want to receive ourselves. We prefer to communicate by email so that everything is clear and trackable, and we always aim to respond promptly. If you don’t hear back from us, please check your spam folder – or just send us another message.

We’re friendly, responsive, and we care about getting it right. If you’re looking to buy or sell a yacht, we’d love to hear from you.

Please contact us if you’d like our Norwich postal address.
