Big Sky Yachts

Big Sky Yachts offers new yachts from J Boats and RS Sailboats.   Contact us for assistance in ordering, commissioning and delivering your new boat.

For larger power and sail vessels, we work with one of the premier yacht brokerages in the country, Swiftsure Yachts of Seattle, WA.  

For local and regional listings, we maintain a network of relationships and contacts of interested buyers. Our minimum fee to list a boat is $1,500 or 10%, whichever is greater.  

As a buyer's broker we work hard to locate the ideal boat for a customer's needs. We have assisted clients in purchasing yachts from all corners of the continent, including Puerto Vallarta, Vancouver, Ft. Lauderdale, Newport, RI, Annapolis, Chicago, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and many points in between. We have the experience to negotiate a fair deal, and to arrange for survey, delivery and commissioning. A buyer should seriously consider having an expert on their side of the deal.  As in real estate, the seller pays the commission. 


We offer a complete line of custom racing and cruising sails from Ballard Sails, including custom carbon membrane sails for Grand Prix programs.    We will measure your boat and offer suggestions to provide the most value for your sail investment.

Big Sky Yachts is also a dealer for North Sails One Design.

Make your sail investment go further, and buy your sails in Montana where there is no sales tax!

New Sailboats from J/Boats and RS Sailboats
Quality Brokerage Yachts

One’s standard of acceleration and that feeling of being one with wind, wave and boat probably started on a small dinghy…a Hobie Cat, Sunfish or inland scow. Then as one’s boats got larger, some of the magic faded. Sure, cruising was an adventure and the camaraderie of a winning race crew unforgettable.
But, now it seems there’s less time for such pursuits. Priorities change. Every moment counts. Time’s too precious and the alternatives too numerous to put up with any boat less than what will recapture those simple joys of sailing.
J/100 is designed to do just that.
Exceptionally outfitted with new sails including Carbon/Technora Main, roller furling jib, genoa and kite.  Full engine service this season including renewal of sail drive gasket.  Upgrades include new Harken winches and mainsail track.  Grand prix racing bottom finish.  Also includes full boat Fairclough winter cover.  Boat lying Olympia, WA.  Call for more info.  

SOLD!  Brilliantly outfitted and maintained this J/100 is as ready to hit the race course as she is to drop the lines for an evening daysail. There’s nothing quite like steering a sleek, fast boat with a light touch on the tiller, the stability of a keel below, being close to the water and sliding through waves with barely a whisper.
