Why Family Offices Choose Us as Their Trusted Yachting Partner

In the world of ultra-high-net-worth individuals, yachting is more than a lifestyle—it’s a statement of legacy, privacy, and personal expression. For family offices tasked with stewarding these values, selecting the right yachting partner is a decision that demands more than market knowledge. It requires a team that understands the nuances of wealth management, the rhythm of generational planning, and the importance of discretion at every turn.

That’s where we come in…

As a full-service yacht brokerage with a legacy dating back to 1988, we’ve built our reputation not just on the yachts we’ve sold, chartered, or built, but on the enduring relationships we’ve cultivated with family offices around the world. Our role is not simply to broker transactions, but to become a trusted extension of the family office team—aligned in purpose, proactive in execution, and discreet in every detail.

A Seamless Extension of the Family Office

We understand that family offices operate with a unique set of priorities: confidentiality, continuity, and control. Our team is structured to integrate seamlessly into this environment. Whether we’re advising on a new build project, managing a charter fleet, or overseeing the operational logistics and management of a vessel, we tailor our reporting, communication, and strategy to mirror the family office’s governance and cadence.

This alignment allows us to anticipate needs before they arise, streamline decision-making, and ensure that every yachting asset is managed with the same rigor and foresight as any other part of the client’s portfolio.

Expertise Across the Lifecycle of Ownership

Our services span the full lifecycle of yacht ownership—from yacht acquisition and charter to construction and complete yacht management. But what sets us apart is not just the breadth of our capabilities—it’s the depth of our involvement.

When a family office engages us to oversee a new build, for example, we don’t just liaise with shipyards. We manage every detail: from contract negotiation and technical specification to design coordination and budget control. Our team has overseen the construction of some of the world’s most iconic superyachts, and we bring that same level of precision to every project, regardless of scale.

On the charter side, we curate experiences that reflect the values and preferences of each family—whether that means securing a last-minute itinerary in the Galápagos or optimizing charter revenue for a vessel in the Med. And when it comes to management, we handle everything from crew recruitment and payroll to regulatory compliance and financial reporting—always tailored to the family office’s preferred format and frequency.

Discretion, Always

Perhaps most importantly, we understand that discretion is not a feature—it’s a foundation. Our clients include some of the most prominent individuals and families in the world, and we treat their trust with the utmost gravity. Every interaction, every transaction, every voyage is handled with the utmost confidentiality.

A Legacy of Results

Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of working with family offices representing clients across continents and generations. From the construction and sale of pedigree vessels like AHPO and KISMET, to the charter management of yachts like CC-SUMMER, our track record speaks not only to our capabilities, but to the trust placed in us by those who value excellence without compromise.


Let’s Begin the Conversation

If you’re a family office seeking a yachting partner who understands your world—and your client’s—we invite you to connect with us. Whether you’re exploring a first-time acquisition or managing a multi-yacht portfolio, we’re here to deliver clarity, confidence, and continuity.
