In the age of the superyacht, classic yachts are getting a second look from many looking to buy. While yacht dealers vaunt modern design’s copious amenities, most have become standard in the industry. Classic yachts, on the other hand, bring with them a unique style with standout details and a distinguished air reminiscent of the yesteryear of yacht design. Here are five (of many) classic U.S.-based yachts for sale that stand out from the rest.
