Private yachts
Advice built around the owner.
A tailored advisory, operating and reporting structure designed around the owner’s family office, captain, cruising programme and preferred level of involvement — free of unnecessary bureaucracy.
Independent · Founder-led · International
Superyacht Consultancy. Personal by Design.
A discreet, family-office style consultancy for selected yacht owners — with direct access to one experienced adviser, day and night.
The A1 approach
Not mass management, but personal consultancy: owner’s representation, senior advice and practical support shaped around the individual owner, family office and yacht.
There are excellent large management companies. A1 simply offers a different model — one senior adviser who understands yachts from sea, shipyard and owner’s office level, coordinating the specialists and management infrastructure each yacht requires.
