About

I spent 6 years at sea with the Royal Navy (two frigates and an aircraft carrier) travelling the world and developing an obsession with serious vessels built to go anywhere. Before that, I was the kid with his nose in Boat International, daydreaming about life on the water. That obsession never left. I also spent nearly two years as a volunteer coastal crew member at one of the busiest RNLI stations in the UK. When you've been involved in search and rescue, you develop a very different appreciation for what a vessel actually needs to be capable On this channel I cover explorer yachts, trawler yachts, expedition vessels, and anything with a serious pedigree. Every week I go deeper on Yacht Buoy which is my free Substack publication for people who love these boats. Forensic vessel audits, market intelligence, and the financial realities behind the listings. Free to subscribe, and the link is below. If you love these boats as much as I do, you'll feel right at home.
