Since 2005 John and his team have been helping boaters find the right boat for their cruising needs under the Seaton Yachts moniker. They specialise in the design, construction, and sales of new and brokerage seagoing sail and motor yachts. With a nearly encyclopaedic knowledge of high-quality seagoing sailing and power yachts worldwide, John prides himself on providing clients with unparalleled service, helping them find the perfect boat for their needs. Being an authority on offshore and coastal cruising boats John now represents several leading boat brands in the Americas. He recently launched Expedition Yacht Experts whose branding better reflects the variety of vessels and services that he provides.
This latest addition to the Archipelago dealership network solidifies its commitment to deliver unparalleled marine experiences to enthusiasts across the US. Customers of Expedition Yacht Experts can expect nothing short of excellence when exploring the luxurious offerings of Archipelago.
They offer a collection of power catamaran models, with each vessel delivering its own unique features. Archipelago products bridge the gap between performance, range, and luxury accommodation. One of its latest models, the Archipelago zero.63, is leading the way in sustainable solutions in the marine industry through its use of its methanol propulsion systems. The Archipelago models, 40, 47, 52, and 63 will be available to Seaton Yachts / Expedition Yacht Experts’ customers.
Dr Stephen Weatherley, Founder of Archipelago Yachts, said: “It brings me great pleasure to welcome Expedition Yacht Experts to our expanding network of dealerships. What drew me to John Clayman and Expedition Yacht Experts was its high level of professionalism and care towards its customers, which perfectly aligns with Archipelago’s ethos. I look forward to welcoming all new prospective US clients and showing them everything we have to offer in our innovative range.”
