Private yacht management
A structure tailored to the owner, family office, captain, cruising programme, reporting preferences and desired level of involvement.
Yacht management
The right management structure, personally coordinated around the owner.
For selected clients who require it, A1 acts as the owner’s direct senior adviser and coordinating interface for a tailored private or commercial yacht management structure.
Our approach
Full operational support without a fleet-management mindset.
The owner should enjoy the yacht, while the captain and crew receive useful support rather than another layer of bureaucracy. A1 coordinates the required specialists, works with the yacht’s preferred systems where sensible, and does not impose proprietary software designed to lock a client in. Where required, appropriately certified or authorised specialist and management partners deliver statutory and regulated functions.
Scope of support
Clear, coordinated, accountable.
Commercial compliance
ISM, ISPS, MLC, payroll, flag and class, registration and VAT, insurance and other regulated or statutory functions are delivered through appropriately certified or authorised specialist and management partners where required. A1 coordinates these interfaces for the owner and does not present itself as the ISM Company or DOC holder, insurer, insurance intermediary, tax adviser or payroll provider.
Budgets & accounting oversight
Clear budget preparation, expenditure review and reporting designed to make costs understandable and decisions timely.
Technical & planned maintenance
Practical oversight of maintenance planning, defects, quotations and priorities to support reliable operation and asset-value protection.
Procurement & quotations
Support sourcing spares, maintenance and repairs, comparing quotations and coordinating suppliers without losing sight of urgency or value.
Day-to-day problem solving
Responsive support from people who understand seagoing realities, reducing avoidable administration for the onboard team.
Direct access
Senior advice, personal coordination, direct accountability.
