Ownership should feel like enjoyment, not administration. We manage maintenance schedules, yard periods, crew and the paperwork of flag, class and compliance, reporting to you clearly and on a rhythm that suits you.
Whether the yacht charters commercially or stays private, management keeps her ready, compliant and holding her value between seasons.
Ownership without the administration
A yacht should be a source of pleasure, not a second job. Yet behind every well-run boat sits a constant stream of maintenance, crew matters, certification and accounts that, left unmanaged, quickly turn ownership into a burden. Professional management takes that weight entirely off your hands: we run the yacht day to day and report to you clearly, so your only decisions are the ones you actually want to make.
From a single small motor yacht to a large crewed superyacht, the principle is the same — you enjoy the boat, we look after everything that keeps her ready, safe and holding her value between seasons.
Technical and maintenance management
We build and run a planned maintenance schedule covering engines, generators, systems and hull, so servicing happens on time rather than after a breakdown. We coordinate yard periods, source parts and trades, supervise works on your behalf and keep a full maintenance record that protects both the yacht's reliability and its resale value.
When something does go wrong, a managed yacht has a team that responds immediately — diagnosing the problem, mobilising the right engineers and keeping you informed without dragging you into the detail unless you wish to be.
Crew recruitment and management
The crew make or break a yacht, and finding and keeping good people is a job in itself. We recruit captains, engineers, interior and deck crew against the standard you want, handle contracts, payroll and the social and tax obligations that come with employment, and look after training, certification and crew welfare through the season.
Good management means low crew turnover, because a happy, well-supported crew stays — and continuity aboard is one of the surest signs of a well-run yacht.
Flag, class and compliance
Yachts operate within a web of regulation — flag-state rules, classification surveys, safety and radio certificates, pollution and, for commercially chartered yachts, the MLC and ISM codes. We track every certificate and survey window, prepare the yacht for inspections, and keep her continuously compliant so she is never caught out by an expired document or a missed survey.
For owners who charter, we manage the additional commercial compliance that allows the yacht to earn legally, and advise on the flag and structure that best fit how the yacht is used.
Financial management and reporting
Running a yacht is also running a small business. We prepare an annual operating budget, manage the central account, pay suppliers and crew, and report income and expenditure to you on a clear, regular rhythm — monthly or quarterly as you prefer — with every figure traceable. No surprises, no opaque invoices, just a transparent picture of what the yacht costs and why.
This discipline keeps spending under control, flags issues early, and gives you the information to make sound decisions about the yacht's future.
Charter management
For owners who wish to offset running costs, we place the yacht into charter and manage the commercial side — marketing, bookings, contracts, APA and the additional compliance a charter yacht requires. We balance charter income against your own use, and protect the yacht's condition so earning never comes at the expense of value.
Because we run charter, brokerage and management from one desk, the income side and the ownership side are handled by the same accountable team, with no gaps between them.
Refit and project management
Periodic refit keeps a yacht current and protects her value, but a yard project is where budgets and timelines most often slip. We scope the work, obtain and compare yard quotes, supervise the project on site, and hold contractors to specification, budget and schedule — so the yacht returns to the water on time and to standard.
Whether it is routine class work or a full interior upgrade, we manage it as your representative, with your interests, not the yard's, at the centre.
A single Monaco point of contact
Managing from Monaco means we are where the yacht is, working the port and the coast every day. You deal with one accountable point of contact who knows your yacht, your crew and your preferences, rather than a distant call centre. Decisions are made quickly and in person, and we are on hand when it matters.
Combined with charter and brokerage under the same roof, management closes the circle: from buying the yacht to running her, chartering her and, in time, selling her, one team looks after the whole of ownership.
When management makes sense
Not every yacht needs full management, but most benefit from it once a permanent crew, regular cruising or commercial charter enter the picture. A smaller yacht used a few weeks a year may need only light technical oversight and a maintenance plan; a larger crewed yacht with year-round crew, class obligations and a charter programme effectively runs as a small enterprise and rewards full management many times over.
We are happy to scale the service to the yacht and to how you use her — from a lean support package that simply keeps the maintenance and certificates on track, to comprehensive management that handles every aspect of operation. If you are unsure which you need, we will give you an honest recommendation based on the yacht and your plans rather than the largest possible mandate.
What's included
Frequently asked questions
What does yacht management include?
Planned maintenance and yard periods, crew recruitment and payroll, flag, class and compliance, financial management and transparent reporting, and refit project management. In short, everything needed to keep the yacht ready, safe, compliant and holding her value.
Do you manage both private and charter yachts?
Yes. We manage private yachts and, for owners who wish to offset costs, place yachts into charter and run the commercial side — bookings, contracts, APA and the additional compliance a charter yacht requires — balancing income against your own use.
How is yacht management charged?
Management is typically an annual fee scaled to the size and complexity of the yacht, agreed in advance, with running costs paid transparently from a central account you can see in full. We set out the budget before the year begins.
Can you handle crew recruitment and payroll?
Yes. We recruit captains, engineers and interior and deck crew to your standard, manage contracts, payroll and the related tax and social obligations, and look after training, certification and crew welfare to keep turnover low.
Do you manage refits and yard projects?
Yes. We scope the work, compare yard quotes, supervise the project on site and hold contractors to specification, budget and schedule, acting as your representative so the yacht returns on time and to standard.
