Our position

A brokerage built on access and judgement.

In an industry increasingly dominated by scale — by aggregators, by portals, by call centres routing enquiries to whichever broker happens to be available — we have chosen to work differently.

Every charter we arrange is handled personally. Every contract is concluded on the MYBA Charter Agreement without exception. And every client talks to the same person, every time.

The result is a brokerage structured to serve fewer clients, more completely.

What we are not.

We are not a website of boats. We are not a call centre. We are not an aggregator passing you to whichever broker is free. We are not trying to serve everyone, everywhere, at every price point.

What we are.

A single, accountable point of contact who knows the market, negotiates every contract under the MYBA Charter Agreement, and takes full responsibility for your experience from first call to final disembarkation.

What we do.

MYBA — The Worldwide Yachting Association
Accreditation

Membership of MYBA is not a badge. It is a working standard.

MYBA — The Worldwide Yachting Association — is the industry’s governing body for professional yacht charter and sales brokerage. Membership gives us confidential, direct access to every major charter fleet in the world, the contractual framework to protect your deposit and enforce the yacht’s obligations, and a professional network of managers and captains we deal with every week.

For our clients, this translates to the right yacht for the right brief, contractual protection that is genuinely enforceable, and negotiation handled by a broker who speaks the language of the market.

UHNW readers want substance, not a CV. Keep it tight, human, and specific.

The credo

How we work.

Direct representation.

One broker, start to finish. No handover to junior account managers. No call centre.

MYBA Charter Agreement on every contract.

No exceptions. Your deposit is protected. The yacht’s obligations are defined. Arbitration replaces litigation.

Access to the full global fleet.

Including off-market yachts and yacht-of-last-resort availability during peak weeks.

Independent.

Not tied to a fleet or a shipyard. Our recommendations are genuinely based on fit, not commission structure.

Discreet.

Your itinerary, identity, and preferences are never shared beyond the parties required to deliver the charter.

Based in Palma. Representing clients worldwide.
