What makes a century-old yacht more desirable than the latest superyacht?
In this episode, Zoe is joined by Alfred Morrison, Charter and Sales Broker at Classic Charters, to explore a world where luxury isn't defined by what's new, but by history, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. With more than three decades of experience, Classic Charters has built a reputation as one of the world's leading specialists in classic yacht charter and sales, connecting discerning clients with some of the finest historic vessels still sailing today.
Alfred shares what makes these extraordinary yachts so special, from their rich heritage and meticulous restoration to the unforgettable experiences they offer on the water. We discuss why a growing number of travellers are seeking authenticity over excess, and how classic yachts represent a slower, more meaningful approach to luxury.
The conversation also lifts the lid on the people behind these remarkable vessels, exploring the skill and dedication of the crews who bring every charter to life, the unique expectations of clients investing in heritage experiences, and the delicate balance between preserving maritime history and delivering world-class hospitality.
As luxury continues to evolve, Alfred explains why craftsmanship, storytelling, and genuine connection have become some of the industry's most valuable assets. Whether you're fascinated by yachting, luxury travel, or the enduring appeal of timeless design, this episode offers a captivating insight into a world where history continues to sail into the future.
