Our Story · Since 2015

Why Premiere

Working for you.

Premiere Yachting was founded in London and has been serving private clients since 2015. Our operational model is built exclusively on independence. By design, we maintain no proprietary fleet—eliminating the commercial pressure to fulfill vessel quotas. Because our advisory structure operates on a uniform, conflict-free commission framework across our entire global portfolio, our insights remain entirely objective. We optimize for a single metric: your precise requirements.

Our brokers spend each season on the water in the Mediterranean: inspecting yachts before we ever propose them, meeting captains and chefs in person, walking the marinas of Antibes, Athens, Split and Naples. When we tell you a yacht is right for your family, it is because we have stood on her decks — not because an algorithm said so.

How a charter works with us

  • Consult — a 20-minute conversation about dates, party, budget and style. We listen more than we talk.
  • Curate — within 24 hours you receive a shortlist of 3–5 yachts that genuinely fit, with honest commentary on each.
  • Confirm — we negotiate terms, verify the yacht's paperwork and crew credentials, and hold the dates with a MYBA-standard contract.
  • Cruise — before departure your preference sheet (food, wine, allergies, water toys, celebrations) reaches the crew. Your only job is to board.

Numbers that matter

  • Serving clients since 2015 — boutique by design, not by accident
  • 500+ crewed yachts across four Mediterranean charter grounds
  • Every yacht personally inspected before recommendation
  • Quotes within 24 hours, in USD or EUR — no hidden mark-ups
Good to Know

Broker questions, answered.

Why should I use a yacht charter broker instead of booking directly?

A specialist yacht charter broker knows which crews shine, which yachts photograph better than they cruise, and where the real availability hides. We inspect yachts in person, negotiate terms, verify paperwork and protect your deposit — services that cost you nothing extra, since the commission is paid by the yacht owner in any case.

How does Premiere Yachting get paid?

The charter fee you see is set by the yacht owner, who pays our brokerage commission. You pay the same rate booking through us as booking direct — but with honest advice, negotiation and an experienced broker in your corner. Since 2015 we have built our reputation on that transparency.

Do you work with MYBA contracts?

Yes. We charter under MYBA (Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association) standard agreements, the industry framework that protects both parties — clear cancellation terms, insured deposit handling and defined obligations for owner, broker and charterer.

Chief Charter Broker

Most brokers sell you a yacht. I'd rather find you the right one.

Archie has spent his career in the superyacht world — walking the decks, meeting the crews and learning the details that never make it into a brochure. As our Chief Charter Broker, he personally reviews every shortlist we send: if he wouldn't put his own family on that yacht, it doesn't reach your inbox.

Clients work with Archie from the first conversation to the final night ashore — one point of contact, no handovers, no call centres. On US hours, too.
