History
First started in 1995 by Mike Lucas, following six years with Sadler Yachts and prior to that with Princess yachts in Plymouth, building Moody and Sigma, Mike Lucas Yachting was set up to specialise in the sale of these yachts. During the past 20 years we have sold in excess of 600 boats, plus a further 100 yachts of various types.
Technical knowledge of the range of Sadler and Starlight yachts is now almost exclusively held by Lucas Yachting, who are familiar with build and specification detail for Sadlers and Starlights built from the early days in 1975, right through to Bowman-built Starlights up to 2002. We also advise on CE and VAT documentation, having taken on the role of manufacturer’s authorised representative.
We deal with repairs and refurbishment for a wide range of yachts in the River Dart. We have dealt with comprehensive refurbishment and repair programs for over 200 boats, using local yards and a team of highly skilled tradesmen. We specialise in insurance repairs, liaising with local surveyors.
