Handcraft Boats
Handcraft Boats provides classic yacht brokerage and charters worldwide. We will launch our Handcraft Boats TV Channel on ROKU and Amazon Fire TV soon. We specialize in this niche of classic sailing yachts because they are the least polluting and have the smallest carbon footprint of any boats in the world. We focus on this portion of the market to provide a unique experience and an alternative to the diesel-powered (only) cruise ships that most people choose for a cruise or private yacht charter. We will provide charter services on those private yachts if desired, but that is not our focus. Fractional ownership of selected vintage classic yachts is available to qualified investors and companies.
The revenue from our sales (and "sails") funds the projects to help save lives worldwide. Several of the yachts we will lease or purchase will be featured in various films and TV shows, including the movie in pre-production now, 'The Woman at the Door," which will be filmed in Greece. See more information about that film below. In 2029, we will circumnavigate the oceans in a suitably-sized yacht, with selected clients for each leg of the journey. This will help fund the project and allow us to gather footage for a reality TV series on sailing around the world. If you or your company wish to be involved in these projects, either for brokerage, chartering or perhaps be featured in this film, please get in touch with us on the contact link below.
Classic Yacht Brokerage
Handcraft Boats buys, sells and provides brokerage services on the boats we own, and earns a commission on partnering with other brokerage firms worldwide. These commissions and earnings help fund our projects to save lives and provide capital for our filming, for movies and TV shows.

Circumnavigation Worldwide Journey- July, 2029
Our Story
Handcraft Boats, in partnership with our TV and film divisions, will launch a circumnavigation cruise around the world, leaving port July 7, 2029. We're securing a suitable sailing yacht, roughly 150 ft. long, with a crew of 8, guest cabins for 6-10 in private quarters, plus our film crew. We will be filming a reality TV show of the entire trip, which will take approximately 12 months, depending on the length of time in various ports and the route chosen.
The TV show will be featured during selected live stream and on-demand episodes on our ROKU channels; however, discretion and complete privacy are assured for our charter guests if they choose not to be featured in the show. If you or your company wishes to be considered for inclusion on any of the legs of the voyage, contact us for more details. We will include selected product placement and brand integration on the show and films, as this yacht, and others, will be used in our films as well, similar to Spirit Yachts being featured in the various Bond films. See deposit forms below.
