Experience in the Superyacht Industry

Mike has worked in yacht brokerage for 18 years, building on a professional background rooted in shipyards and marina operations. This early experience provided a strong technical foundation and a detailed understanding of how yachts are built, maintained and managed over time. Over the course of his superyacht sales brokerage career, he has completed 25 plus transactions, covering a wide spectrum of yacht types and sizes. His exposure to projects ranging from smaller vessels through to large superyachts has given him a broad view of the market and the differing needs of clients at each level.

His focus is on ensuring that each client feels supported throughout the process, with a clear understanding of both the opportunity and the considerations involved.
