Exciting News: Angela Collins Yachts Returns to Yacht Building with the Tosca 39!

It’s been a while, but I’m thrilled to announce that Angela Collins Yachts is once again diving into the world of yacht building. After over a decade of incredible adventures in the yacht brokerage industry, I’m back to my roots—creating beautiful, high-quality yachts designed to bring families the ultimate cruising experience.

Back in 2000, I founded Angela Collins Yachts, a brokerage that quickly became known for matching clients with the perfect vessels. A couple of years later, I decided to expand into yacht building, starting with the Parlay 40—a 40-foot catamaran. But I didn’t stop there. In collaboration with marine architect Angelo Lavranos, I designed the BlueBay37, a monohull that became a popular choice for cruising enthusiasts. I spent many successful years bringing these designs to life before selling my business in late 2007.

Fast forward to 2025, and I’m back, and this time I’m excited to announce that I’ll be building the Tosca 39. This stunning family cruising yacht, designed by the talented Angelo Lavranos, is a proven design with a center cockpit, a spacious aft cabin, and a sleek sugar scoop stern. With its beautiful lines and a beam that ensures stability and comfort, the Tosca 39 is the ideal yacht for short-handed cruising, allowing you to experience the joy of sailing with ease.

What makes this even more exciting is that it’s been over 20 years since a monohull has been built in South Africa—most yards here are focused on catamarans. I’m bringing back the monohull, and I’m doing it with a focus on quality, affordability, and craftsmanship. This is a yacht that’s perfect for family cruising or simply enjoying some quality time on the water, without the hassle of maintaining an old boat. Why settle for a used boat that demands constant repairs when you can have a brand-new, custom-built yacht, designed for modern sailing?

I’m building the Tosca 39 right here in Gordons Bay, Cape Town, and I’m incredibly proud to offer a new sailing experience to families who want a safe, solid, and stylish yacht that’s perfect for all types of adventures on the water.

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning your own yacht—or if you’ve been looking for a high-quality, affordable, custom-built family cruising yacht—let’s chat! I’d love to discuss how we can bring your dream yacht to life.

Give me a call at 064913816 or email me at angela@angelacollinsyachts.co.za to learn more. Let’s set sail on this exciting journey together!

i wish PROSPECTIVE clients would be more truthful

The Importance of Transparency in Yacht Buying: A Call for Honesty

As a professional in the yacht industry, I dedicate time and resources to helping clients navigate their journey toward purchasing a yacht—whether it’s for leisure, business, or investment. However, there’s something that has become increasingly frustrating and, frankly, unfair: the lack of honesty from some prospective clients about their intentions, financial status, and timeline for purchase.

It’s not uncommon for me to travel to marinas, arrange private viewings, and invest hours in showing yachts to individuals who are simply not ready, financially or otherwise, to make a purchase. These situations are not just a waste of my time; they are also a drain on my resources, including travel costs, preparation, and the energy I pour into providing an exceptional experience for every potential client.

I understand that buying a yacht is a big decision and it’s natural to dream and explore possibilities. But when engaging with a professional, honesty is essential. If you’re not financially ready, or if your purchase is still years away, I would much rather hear that upfront. Being truthful allows us to have a more productive conversation and ensures I can offer the guidance that is best suited for your current situation, whether that’s providing insight for the future or pointing you in the right direction for financial planning.

I have no issue helping anyone fulfill their dreams of owning a yacht—whether that dream is years away or just beginning to take shape. What I do have an issue with is spending valuable time on something that isn’t real or isn’t aligned with where you currently stand in the buying process. Let’s be upfront with each other. When you are ready, I’ll be here to help you every step of the way. Until then, transparency benefits us both, and together, we can ensure that your yacht journey is as seamless as possible.

Please, be truthful about where you stand, and let’s make the process efficient, respectful, and ultimately fulfilling.

dont buy a old boat,buy a new Tosca 39

Those older boats might be available at a lower price, but they come with hidden costs: constant maintenance, repairs, and the constant reminder that they no longer meet the demands of modern cruising.

The Tosca 39, however, is built for today and for the future. It’s ideal for families or couples looking to cross oceans in safety and comfort. Equipped with modern amenities and new technology, it allows you to navigate the seas with confidence and style. The Tosca 39 is a cruising yacht that combines performance with luxury—built in South Africa for those who want a new, reliable, and top-quality vessel.

For the buyer who understands the importance of wise investment, the Tosca 39 is a clear choice. A yacht like this doesn’t just promise adventure; it guarantees that you’re not spending your time and money on an outdated boat that requires constant attention. Instead, it offers peace of mind—knowing that everything on board is modern, functional, and designed to last.

Choosing a Tosca 39 is more than buying a yacht; it’s a reflection of where you are in life and where you’re headed. It’s the perfect cruising yacht for those who understand that quality, safety, and reliability are worth the investment. For the discerning few who truly value craftsmanship, the Tosca 39 is the only choice.
