The addition of these two exceptional business jets in addition to the Global 7500 earlier this year, in our 10th year of operation, reinforces our position as one of the leading operators in the Middle East.

Launched to promote the beauty and pageantry of pre-war handcrafted vessels, the inaugural Richard Mille Cup sets sail this month, chartering a course from Falmouth in England to Le Havre in France from June 1025. In all, 15 yachts drawn from the late 19th century to the 1930s will compete in schooner and cutter categories for the chance to hoist aloft a spectacular metre-high trophy designed by Garrard, jewellers to the British Royal Family for the last 300 years. “Classic yachts bear a living, breathing testimony to the highest values of workmanship, heritage and tradition passed on to us through the centuries,” says Richard Mille. “By creating this challenge, we aim to set sail through history and to bring this high-end craft very much back to life.”
