Who We Advise
Buying a superyacht is a decision most people make once, maybe twice, in a lifetime. I bring close to twenty years of operational experience at sea, supported by a UK Master Mariner Unlimited qualification and complete independence, appointed and paid by you alone. Wherever you are in that process, from a first conversation to survey and negotiation, that's what keeps you on course.
UHNW individuals and families
A brief built around your family, worldwide coverage and independent judgement, to help you find, negotiate and own the right yacht.
Family Offices
A brief built around the family's position, independent judgement and no commission from any side of the deal, to help you protect the family's interests through survey, negotiation and ownership.
Private Banks and Wealth Managers
An independent specialist for the one asset class outside your own expertise, appointed and paid by your client alone, to help you protect the relationship when a yacht enters the picture.
ALIGNED WITH THE BUYER
Independence is not an extra service. It is the basis of the whole relationship.
Anthony Austin Yachts is appointed and paid directly by the buyer. I do not receive commission from brokers, sellers, shipyards or other parties to the transaction. That allows me to recommend proceeding, renegotiating, pausing or walking away according to the buyer's interests alone.
WHEREVER YOU ARE IN THE DECISION
Advice can begin before the search, or at a critical moment
You may already have a shortlist, be preparing for a viewing, considering an offer or trying to determine whether yacht ownership is right for you at all. The first conversation establishes what decision you are facing and what useful support would look like.
What decision are you facing?
If you are weighing up a yacht purchase, whatever stage you are at, I would welcome a private discussion.
