33 houtbay – mon33-0516, our client's experience.

I could not possibly have asked for a better experience when going through the motions of buying a boat. I’m so thankful that I chose to appoint Yacht and Power Sales as my broker. Chris, in particular was superb, right from the very first introduction to the boat, throughout the survey process, ensuring that the snag list was taken care of and finalized, navigating me through the legal process and he even went so far as to arrange the Certificate of Listing and Certificate of Fitness.

There was complete and utter transparency on every level throughout the entire process which provided me total clarity on the situation at all times and thus I never once felt as if anyone was being dishonest about any feature of the boat – the minor niggles were well presented to me and Chris and Thomas worked hard to rectify the issues. It was a seamless process from start to finish

Paul Cartmel

Excellent support structure – the services that Yacht and Power Sales operated by Chris, provides a blend of high-end expertise as well as every-day, practical experience. Short of encyclopedia – his knowledge, his passion, and never-ending energy and consistency of effort make him solid and trustworthy as an advisor but also as a project manger. He is reliable with logistical matters, but also applies holistic approach to decision-making that helps strategize for the long-term. Objective and fair towards the interests of all concerned, his services are unbeatable in ethics, authenticity, and sustainability. Highly recommend.

Yacht South Africa

Whatever peaks and valleys a country has endured in the development of economic and industrial stability, if this country has access to sea ports, then it will always get its share of the Yacht South Africa market. The word "weak" in no way describes the South Africa of today, or, more precisely, the South African Republic. This country is actively developing and is considered one of the most successful when compared to other countries of this continent.

Shestakov Yacht Sales: Your Source for a Yacht South Africa

The first thing that catches tourist and seafarers' attention is Cape Town. This town, created near the Cape of Good Hope, became one of the capitals of the Republic and the largest yachting center in this region. Here runs an imaginary border dividing the Indian and the Atlantic oceans. This is the place where all of the tourist and trade routes intersect. The impressively high number of Yacht South Africa sales is explained by the rapid growth of the infrastructure and the economy. It is very possible that that the large number of megayachts appearing in the coastal towns were caused by the huge income gap between the wealthiest people of the country and the rest of the nation. As a rule, these megayachts are the engine-equipped vessels of impressive size, capable of crossing the Atlantic and withstanding some of nature's harshest weather patterns.

Contact Us Today for a Yacht South Africa

For a sailing enthusiast, buying a Yacht South Africa will be very easy, too. The South African coast has very strong winds that draw hordes of adrenaline junkies. In the past, these winds were the cause of many commercial and naval ships' demise. Technologies of today make crossing the Indian Ocean relatively safe and fast, thanks to those very winds. In Cape Town, you can get to a dock and repair your yacht if you happen to get into trouble on your way here, or choose to buy fuel and food supplies, as well. There are many provisioning companies on the coast that will welcome the chance to assist in any way possible.

If any of the vessels in this region have piqued your interest, the first order of business will be to review the various methods of delivery. This is not the region to test your amateur boating skills, and if you don't have the necessary experience, you'd be better off entrusting the professionals. Get your Yacht South Africa today.
