One independent adviser, from first brief to ownership.
Anthony Austin Yachts acts solely for the private buyer throughout the yacht acquisition. We bring captain-led judgement to the decisions that sit between intention, transaction and ownership.
BUYER SIDE MANDATE
Clarity before momentum.
A yacht can satisfy the specification and still be wrong for the way its owner intends to use it. We establish the ownership brief first, then assess opportunities against it with a consistent point of judgement throughout.
SELECTION
Define and assess
Clarify use, cruising plans, guests, crew, operating expectations and budget. Review and compare suitable yachts against the agreed brief.
TRANSACTION
Examine and progress
Support viewings and sea trials, challenge assumptions, coordinate with specialist advisers and interpret what survey findings mean for the buyer's decision.
WORKING WITH THE EXISTING TEAM
We work alongside the buyer's lawyers, bankers, tax advisers, family office, surveyors, brokers, insurers and managers. We do not replace their specialist roles. We give the buyer one independent operational perspective across them.
Independent advice, properly coordinated.
Appointed and paid directly by the buyer
No commission from the seller, broker or shipyard
UK based, supporting acquisitions internationally
A private mandate begins with a private conversation.
Fees and scope are agreed before appointment. An engagement retainer applies, followed by the balance set out in the mandate proposal.
