Skippern Yachts Opens a New Office in Skien, Norway
Skippern Yachts now has an office in Skien, Telemark. From here we help boat owners and buyers with selling and buying boats, both in Norway and internationally. We also arrange charter and yacht ownership programs.
Why Skien?
Skien and the Telemark coast are home to many boat owners, and lots of them are looking for a broker close by who also has an international network. Our new office in Skien gives boat owners in the region a local contact person, with the full backing of the Skippern Yachts network behind them.
From our office in Skien we can assist you both with selling your boat in Norway and internationally – as most of our sales are involving an international buyer. When you sell through Skippern, your boat is marketed to buyers in Norway and abroad, and we handle the whole process, from the first presentation to the contract and settlement.
And yes, this office serves good coffee. You are welcome to stop by for a chat about your boat. Please call or email first to book a visit.
