How it works
Your purchase, organised around you
I find and examine suitable yachts, then organise the viewings, the negotiation and the purchase around the way you want to live aboard.
You know what happens next
You hear from me every two weeks or monthly, as you prefer, with the decisions that need you set out first. If something cannot wait, I call.
Advice that can include walking away
If a yacht is wrong for you, I will say so, explain why and return to the search.

The outcome
What you end up with
A yacht that fits your life
I start with who will be aboard and how you want to spend your days, so she is chosen around the people, places and habits she has to accommodate, with her compromises understood before you commit.
A purchase you can follow
Decisions, responsibilities and next steps are clear, so you stay informed and in control without piecing the conversations together yourself.
Care you can notice
I remember what matters to you, prepare before you arrive and keep you informed without being asked.
How to engage us
Three ways to put someone on your side of the table
Each is shaped around what you need. Sessions and projects can be taken on their own, without appointing me for the whole purchase.
For the whole purchase
Full Buyer Representation
One engagement covering the whole purchase from the first brief to handover, within the mandate we agree, with remuneration explained and agreed in writing before you appoint me.
About full representation
For a decision
Private Advisory Sessions
A question worth taking time over. A focused session to examine your plans or a particular yacht, with preparation and a written summary within the agreed scope. Scoped and priced separately from a purchase mandate.
About sessions
For a task
Defined Consultancy Projects
A specific task, properly followed through. We agree the work, the deliverables and the point at which it is complete, with a separately agreed fee.
About projectsNot sure which? A first conversation carries no obligation.
Start the right conversationWho we work with
Buying for yourself, or advising someone who is

Private buyers & families
The yacht should fit the way you live
For buyers who want a buyer’s broker to find and test the right yacht, with the purchase organised around their family.
For families

Family offices
An extension of your team
I coordinate the search, the technical work and the purchase alongside your team, so they are not chasing it themselves.
For family offices
Private banks & wealth managers
Your client appoints me directly
I work alongside you and your client’s other advisers, with the purchase explained clearly at every stage.
For private bankers
Who you will be working with
Captain Anthony Austin
UK MCA Master Mariner Unlimited, with approaching two decades at sea.
That experience shapes how I judge a purchase: how a yacht will work for your family once she is yours, as well as how she looks at the quay.
You deal with me personally throughout, so you do not have to explain your plans again at each stage. I give you clear recommendations and you decide.
Next step
Your broker, throughout
When you are ready to talk, I would be glad to hear what you are considering and how you hope to use the yacht.
