"Miles did an excellent job handling the brokerage of our family yacht; he explained the intricacies of the sales process, keeping the buyer and myself updated and addressing any issues that came up during the sales process.
"His professional advice was invaluable during what was a challenging sale due to a death in the family. Miles carried out the necessary in-depth due diligence required on behalf of both the seller and buyer leading to a successful sale being concluded.
"I would highly recommend Miles to anyone looking to buy or sell a boat."

We are proud to showcase the rebirth of the Stratton name in the Scottish yacht broking industry.
Miles Stratton, Director
With over 45 years in the industry, Stratton Yachts have been the trusted point of contact in Scotland.
Miles has developed his knowledge and network in boat sales since 1995, taking over the helm as Director at Nick Stratton Yachts in 2007. The business ran successfully and was bought out in 2012 by Michael Schmidt & Partner, and Miles continued to work for MS&P as Sales Manager for Scotland.
Realising the need for a more bespoke and personal service in Scotland, Miles Stratton Marine was formed in August 2023.
Miles is an accomplished sailor, competing at high level events across the world. He also serves as a launching authority and crew member at Helensburgh RNLI station.
