More than a yacht purchase
A yacht is a significant investment. Choosing the right person to guide you matters just as much as choosing the right yacht. I stay responsible for the whole process, from the first conversation to long after delivery, and bring in the right specialists where their expertise is needed.

Typical situations
You know how you want to spend time on the water but not yet which yacht fits. We start with how you will use it, not with models, and take the time to get it right.
You own a yacht and want to move up or change type, possibly selling the current one as part of the process.
You are moving to the UAE and want a yacht ready and berthed when you arrive, with the paperwork done properly.
