Michael Schmidt & Partner have been marketing and selling yachts and boats since 1989 .

In the UK, at our primary offices on Lake Windermere and at Hamble we offer a sound and superior personal service to both buyers and vendors alike.

Michael Schmidt & Partner enjoy worldwide coverage. Working closely with our partners across the UK and Europe we ensure maximum exposure for the vendor and maximum choice for the buyer.

These strong links with our partner brokerage-houses, provide up-to-the-minute knowledge based on years of experience.

Underlining these core strengths, the extensive use of the web ensures we reach the wider sailing world.

Boats Sought, Sorted & Sold.
At Michael Schmidt & Partner we go further, actively seeking craft to increase our portfolio and matching buyer to boat and vice versa.
We pride ourselves on presenting craft in as first class a condition as possible and honestly described.
If your boat is in need of care and attention or simple routine maintenance we can advise, we can involve our own technicians or can recommend chosen partner specialists that we have grown to trust for their skills, quality of service and excellence.
Having evolved from the Westerly Brokerage and with many years served in the marine industry, from the hey days of British yacht manufacturing, to the global expansion of modern worldwide mass production, our brokers base their advice on extensive ‘hands-on’ experience.

Our modern sales facilities provide easy access for buyers. The highly acclaimed raised shore based viewing pontoon at Hamble provides a superb and prime display position.

On Lake Windermere, thousands of visitors and boat enthusiasts are drawn here all year round. We have every facility and many service businesses to support the thriving yacht market on the lake and in the north.

Time to sell, time is the essence.
Having made the decision to sell then it’s best to prepare your craft accordingly and put her in the biggest shop window available; www.michaelschmidt.co.uk is the quick and easy way to access the web. Linking into the most powerful search engines puts your boat on everyone’s computer screen.
Bring her ashore. If not, then at least bring her to a pontoon with easy shore access. Stuck out on the river or swinging on a buoy in the middle of the harbour is not going to get her sold. She must be accessible.

Hamble Point Marina.
And if you really want to sell quickly then bring her down to our specialised brokerage display area at Hamble Point Marina, which is widely accepted as being the biggest retail marina for the sale and purchase of yachts and boats for sale on one site at any time in the UK.

Lake Windermere.
With the stunning panoramic views of Lake Windermere as the backdrop to our offices, Michael Schmidt & Partner provides a prime location for vendors and buyers from the north-west, north-east and North Wales region. From our top spot at Bowness Bay, we provide brokerage sales, moorings, after-sales support, repairs and technical services. Come and see us !

Craft sell quicker with Michael Schmidt & Partner. We can help.
Working closely with Hamble Point Marina, Yachtworld.com and the UK's leading yachting magazines, MS&P are one of the most experienced and premier yacht brokers in the UK. We lead the twice yearly Hamble Point Marina Used Boat Show extravaganzas that coincide with the season's start and the Southampton International Boat Show. In reality, MS&P at Hamble provides an all year round boat show and we endeavour to man it 7 days a week.

Hamble Point Marina is the UK’s premier yacht retail position. At Hamble you will find all the major brands being sold, both new and used. Not only can you find the boat you are looking for but the marina is served by a thriving community of service industries. Being an ’open’ yard creates a competitive and cost effective range of businesses ready to serve your needs. Everything you need to set sail is here at ‘The Point’.

We are happy to advise on current values, selling prospects and any work that is required to ensure your boat is up to speed and appealing to the next owner.

To reiterate, the largest used boat show takes place here at Hamble Point Marina and Michael Schmidt & Partner are proud to be leading partners in this annual event each September. Why not ensure your boat becomes a show boat ? Call us now because here the show never stops !
