Yacht ownership within a family office structure demands more than legal competence — it requires advisors who understand the intersection of wealth governance, cross-border structuring, regulatory compliance, and the operational realities of managing significant maritime assets across generations.
When a vessel sits within a broader wealth architecture, every decision — from the holding jurisdiction to crew employment terms to charter revenue treatment — carries implications that cross legal, tax, compliance, and operational boundaries simultaneously.
Ownership structuring across jurisdictions, succession planning for maritime assets, privacy protection frameworks, charter and commercial arrangements, and integration with broader family office legal architecture.
Acquisition due diligence, operational oversight structures, new build and refit programme management, commercial strategy, and the operational intelligence that informs sound investment decisions on maritime assets.

“The family holds two vessels through a multi-layered structure spanning three jurisdictions. We need the compliance framework reviewed and the ownership restructured for the next generation.”
Legal reviews the holding arrangements across all three jurisdictions and advises on succession-ready restructuring. Compliance audits the existing AML/CTF framework and UBO documentation across both structures, identifying gaps before regulators do. Consultancy assesses operational impacts, crew employment implications, and flag state alignment. Intelligence provides ongoing jurisdictional analysis so the family office understands how evolving regulatory landscapes affect each layer of the structure.
