From freighters and fishing trawlers through to floating pleasure palaces worth hundreds of millions of dollars, Michigan’s vast rivers and waterways are scattered with boats of every shape and size. No surprise, therefore, that the upper Midwestern state is also a major hub for those seeking to buy a yacht for themselves. Here are three of the best Michigan companies specialising in yacht sales and purchases.
