WELCOME

Accepting the status quo is the easy option; making a MEANINGFUL CHANGE requires BOLD INNOVATION . This edition of PURSUIT explores and celebrates the exciting advances being made across the yachting lifestyle

Our theme for the 12th edition of PURSUIT, our annual publication, has real resonance for Ocean Independence as a company. "Bold Innovation" is not just a concept, it is a principle that, together with our legacy of constant evolution and improvement, has propelled us on our voyage over the past two decades.

This edition of PURSUIT is an embodiment of our continual commitment to chart the uncharted in the world of superyacht excellence. You will read more about the visionary companies and individuals who have an indefatigable belief in doing things better. Our cover personality, Thomas Ingenlath, is the inspirational CEO of Polestar, the Swedish design brand which is reinventing the electric vehicle industry – and that is just the beginning.

Twenty years ago, Ocean Independence embarked on a journey that was itself a bold innovation: the creation of the COLOMBAIO-fleet – the world’s first properly certified charter yachts. Today, this symbolises our roots in an industry that, by its very nature, demands a pioneering spirit.

Innovation serves as a vital point on our compass, guiding not just our service development, but also the entire experience we provide to our Clients. In a rapidly transforming global market, we realise that innovation is the beacon we can follow on our path to success. We pledge to stay ahead of the curve, making every effort to ensure you are always met with state-of-the-art solutions and unrivalled enriching experiences.

Typically for Ocean Independence, we strive to blend innovation with humanity. In this era of advanced technology, we will continue to stand out as the company with a human-centric approach in the yachting industry, to make your yachting experience truly special.

We warmly invite you to join us on this journey of bold innovation: let us explore fascinating new horizons together. Here is to two decades of leading innovation in yacht brokerage, and to many more to come.
