Operational Insight · Strategic Clarity
Strategic advisory for superyacht owners, operators, and family offices. Six service areas covering the full lifecycle of vessel ownership — from acquisition through operations to commercial strategy. Informed by 30 years of command experience, our advisory bridges the gap between what advisors recommend on paper and what actually works at sea.
Six advisory services spanning the full scope of vessel ownership and operations. Each service is available across all three subscription tiers — the tier determines engagement depth, response priority, and cross-division access. The expertise is consistent throughout.
Vessel lifecycle planning and operational optimisation. From management company evaluation to maintenance strategy, budget forecasting, and operational readiness — strategic guidance that treats the vessel as an asset to be managed, not just a cost to be contained.
Learn More →How to hold, where to flag, and how to structure. Strategic guidance on ownership structures, flag state selection, and corporate arrangements — balancing operational control, tax efficiency, liability protection, and regulatory alignment across relevant jurisdictions.
Learn More →Owner's representation from concept through delivery. Independent advocacy throughout the build or refit process — yard evaluation, specification review, and project coordination informed by operational understanding of what works at sea, not just on plan.
Learn More →Strategic personnel planning for vessel operations. Management structures, recruitment advisory, rotation strategy, and retention planning — informed by decades of leading teams at sea. For individual crew vetting, see our Compliance Division's Priority CVP.
Learn More →Charter programme structuring and commercial optimisation. Strategic advisory on revenue generation, market positioning, and commercial operations — ensuring charter activity enhances the ownership experience rather than diminishing it.
Learn More →Independent acquisition advisory and valuation guidance. Pre-purchase evaluation, acquisition strategy, and market positioning that considers operational condition, total cost of ownership, and regulatory exposure — not just asking price and comparable sales.
Learn More →Consultancy services are delivered on a monthly subscription basis across three tiers. All six advisory services are available at every tier — the tier determines engagement depth, response priority, and access to our Legal and Compliance divisions at preferential rates.
