Our approach
We do not keep a fleet. We keep a short list of the people who know every yacht worth boarding.
Tell us how you want to spend the holidays. We introduce you to a charter broker at an established brokerage, chosen for your dates and your party, usually within one working day. The introduction costs you nothing.

The festive week
Ten days, told in the order you live them
Every festive charter is shaped around your family. This is how a week in the Leeward Islands often unfolds, from the first evening aboard to the first sunrise of the new year.
The crew prepares the yacht for the season before you arrive, so the celebration begins the moment you step aboard.
Plan your week- 23 DecARRIVAL

Acquisitions
Buying or selling, quietly
Many fine yachts change hands without ever being advertised. We introduce owners and buyers to established brokerages that work in confidence, on the open market or entirely off it.
For owners thinking of selling
A confidential valuation
Curious what your yacht would achieve today, before deciding anything? We arrange a private view of her market value from an experienced listing broker at an established brokerage, without listing her anywhere.
- We ask forSize, builder, year, timeframe
- Valued byAn experienced listing broker
- Obligation to sellNone
For buyers
A private search
Share the size, budget and timeframe. We introduce you the same day to a buyer's broker suited to the brief, who can look beyond the open market to yachts that are quietly for sale.
- We ask forSize, budget, timeframe
- Your brokerChosen for the brief
- The searchOpen market and off market
Off market, if you prefer
A yacht can be offered quietly to a small circle of qualified buyers, with no public listing, photographs or price.
Named only when ready
Begin without naming the yacht. Share more with the broker when you are ready, not before.
One introduction
Your enquiry goes to one brokerage, chosen for the brief. It is never circulated around the market.
A valuation is a broker's view of the current market, not a formal survey. Every purchase and sale is contracted directly between you and the brokerage.
For private bankers, advisers and planners
Your client asks about a yacht. You know who to call.
Refer a client who wants to charter, celebrate at sea, or buy or sell a yacht, and we share our introduction fee with you on every deal that completes.
Private enquiry
Tell us what you have in mind
Every enquiry is handled in confidence. For Christmas and New Year, the earlier we speak, the better the choice of yachts.
