Rupert Knox-Johnston

Spear’s Review

With more than 20 years of experience selling pre-owned Oyster yachts, Rupert Knox-Johnston serves as the firm’s head of brokerage for the UK and Ireland.

His love for sailing runs in the family: he learned to sail from his uncle, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the first man to sail solo around the world – an influence that shaped both his passion and professional path.

Oyster Yachts was established in 1973 and specialises in ‘liveaboard’ yachts that are ‘safe, well-provisioned and hand-crafted with exceptional materials’, according to the firm, which adds that each yacht ‘displays an unparalleled attention to detail and the outstanding skills of our British master craftsmen and women’.
