Last month I was invited to sea trial two yachts built by Sichterman in The Netherlands. The brand is new to me so I was curious to learn more about them. They have the kind of excellent build quality that you would expect from North Europe and some very interesting designs. I was particularly fascinated by the Fast Displacement Hull Form designed by Van Oosannen. This is a brand to look out for, they are going about things in the right way!

Captain Jim McCarthy of the Mangusta 165 yacht "Serenity" answers your questions about the amazing refit carried out last winter!

Following the construction of Icon's remarkable 68 meter explorer yacht "Ragnar" has been a unique and thrilling privilege, and one I am so happy to have been able to share with you. Recently the shipyard invited my team and I to visit the yacht as she was in her final stages of delivery. Lots of work was still going on on board, but we were able to film a unique glimpse of a vessel that is so much more than just another explorer yacht. She is a real ICON!

I have produced a number of videos covering the amazing success story of SeaNet Europe, a company that specialises in co-ownership structures for Super Yachts. In this video we take a look at how they serve a growing number of buyers who want to benefit from all of the hassle-free management services that the company has to offer, but without sharing the yacht with other people. SeaNet call this a "Sole Ownership" structure!

I make no secret of the fact that I m a huge fan of SEANET EUROPE and their remarkable co-ownership structure. In this, the second of a series of three videos covering the company and it's services, I take a very thorough and in-depth examination of how the company has made such a success of a challenging business. How have they succeeded where others have failed? I found that a lot of the answer to that question lies in the people involved...

A part of my job as a yacht broker is to familiarise myself with yachts that are for sale with my colleagues. One such yacht is this 83' Moonen yacht built in 1998. She was originally constructed for the owner of the shipyard and went on to be purchased by another yacht builder...a tribute to her quality and seaworthiness.

The last time I visited the Custom Line shipyard the world was a very different place, and Corona was just a drink with a slice of lime in the bottleneck. Now that Italy is in recovery from the pandemic I went back to se how this famous yacht builder was coping in these troublesome times and was astonished to find the teamwork they have that ensures that their clients can enjoy peace and privacy on board their yachts in a timely fashion.

When I visited SeaNet Europe in Croatia last year I was fascinated by their business model that allowed clients to co-own a super yacht at the fraction of the price that it would cost to fully own one. Since then their progress has been incredible, I went back to Croatia to find out just HOW incredible.
