Experience in the Superyacht Industry

Simon has worked in yacht brokerage for over 22 years, following an early career as a headhunter within financial markets. He later spent several years working on board yachts before moving into brokerage, giving him both commercial and operational insight into the industry. Over the course of his superyacht sales broker career, Simon has completed more than 80 yacht transactions, including 40 since joining Edmiston. His experience represents a combined transaction value of approximately €1.5 billion, with an average yacht length of 43 metres and an average deal value of around €16 million. In addition to brokerage, Simon has significant experience in new build projects, having overseen the delivery of 10 yachts on behalf of their owners. This includes acting as owner’s representative on complex builds, such as the 65-metre ISA Resilience, which he subsequently resold for the owner following delivery.

Approach to Brokerage

Simon takes a structured and detail-focused approach to brokerage, shaped by both his financial background and hands-on industry experience. He places strong emphasis on preparation, process and clear communication, ensuring clients are well informed at each stage of a transaction. His ability to manage both brokerage and new construction projects allows him to provide continuity across ownership decisions, from initial concept through to delivery and eventual resale. This joined-up approach enables him to support clients with clarity and consistency over the long term.
