UK-based expedition yacht builder Archipelago Yachts has expanded its presence in the United States by partnering with Expedition Yacht Experts, formerly known as Seaton Yachts, located in Newport, Rhode Island.
This new dealership marks Archipelago Yachts' second in the US, following their initial partnership with Oaksmith Yachts in the Pacific Northwest earlier this year. The collaboration with Expedition Yacht Experts, led by John Clayman, aims to broaden the reach of Archipelago’s power catamarans in the American market.

Clayman and his team have been specializing in the design, construction, and sales of seagoing sail and motor yachts since 2005. The rebranding to Expedition Yacht Experts reflects the variety of vessels and services they provide, encompassing several leading boat brands in the Americas.
Archipelago Yachts' models, including the 40, 47, 52, and 63, will now be available through Expedition Yacht Experts.
Stephen Weatherley, founder of Archipelago Yachts, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership. “Welcoming Expedition Yacht Experts to our dealership network is a pleasure. Their professionalism and customer care align perfectly with Archipelago’s ethos. We look forward to introducing our innovative range to new US clients.”
