Ancasta International Boat Sales has appointed experienced powerboat specialist David Jones as a sales broker at its Lymington office.

Based at Lymington Yacht Haven, Jones brings over 40 years of marine industry experience, including 25 years as a senior broker and sales executive with a leading UK luxury motor yacht brand. His appointment reflects Ancasta's ongoing focus on bringing in sales specialists with strong, hands-on knowledge across both the power and sail sectors.

Stuart Brotherton, Head of Sales at Ancasta, says: "It's great to welcome David to the team at such an exciting time for the business. We're continuing to invest in recruiting experienced yacht sales specialists across different sectors to enhance the support we offer our clients.

"As buyers become more informed, having genuine, experience-led expertise within the team is increasingly important. David brings a wealth of industry experience, particularly in the motor yacht market, which will be a real asset to the business."

Jones adds: "Ancasta has an enviable reputation in the industry, and I'm really pleased to be joining such a strong and well-established team. I'm looking forward to contributing my own experience to support the company's continued growth."

The appointment comes as Ancasta continues to see increased demand across its range of power and sail brands. The company is currently recruiting further yacht specialists to support its growing sales operations, with additional appointments to be announced in due course.
