The yacht charter and brokerage company has seen significant growth in the last six years, with investment into digital and IT and demand for sustainable yachting a driving factor. Exhibiting at the Monaco Yacht Show, IYC held a roundtable discussion with other yacht industry experts at the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show to discuss what approaches can be adopted to support sustainability at sea. IYC’s CEO, Raphael Sauleau, highlighted to Business Enquirer the need for an industry wide approach to sustainability to drive this forward. “When it comes to sustainable practices, it is important that we work with the shipyards, the yacht staff, and clients, to ensure good practices are applied and compliance is met at every touch point. This can be from incorporating environmentally friendly technology, applying the correct paint, and using the right fuel,” explained Raphael. Consistently ranked within the top three brokerage companies in luxury yacht sales globally, IYC is proud to have sold some of the prime yachts on the market worldwide. Over the past five years the company has sold more than 280 yachts valued at over $2.5 billion.

“In the last 15 years we’ve tripled the number of yachts in the market, which is one of my proudest achievements,” Raphael said, “by 2026, IYC will be the broker behind an additional 500 boats coming to the water”. Most recently, IYC acquired an IT business, which has seen the firm’s development of BLUE, a management support software. BLUE, which is exclusive to IYC, has been designed to seamlessly incorporate its yacht management operations. “Fully customised to meet the demands of yachting, BLUE makes life on board simple. With several layers of intelligence, it automates administrative tasks and compliance requirements, operating as a ‘virtual yacht manager.’ Use of the software removes the risk of human error, increasing peace of mind for all,” explained Raphael. In addition, IYC is unique in that it is the only business of its size in the yacht 6

The brokerage side of IYC utilises its Intelligence team to closely follow the latest global trends, providing insight into the best buys in the industry as well as offmarket deals. Meanwhile, it employs a team of experts across all fields, including Naval Architects, Marine Engineers and Technical Managers, to support the development of new build yachts to meet client specification. The highly knowledgeable team provides technical consultation throughout the construction phase until the completion of the delivery sea trial, and after sales care and compliance.
