Bespoke Brokerage. Yacht Masters are not like other yacht brokers. Specialising in the sale and charter of yachts over 40m, our team in London, Monaco and Montenegro do not act as ‘travel agents’ but instead recognise the true meaning of ‘personal broker’ by creating a bespoke experience for each client. We recognise the importance of trust, ongoing relationships and knowledge, and have reintroduced the traditional British face-to-face way of doing business.
Truly the ultimate bespoke holiday. There is no hotel or villa experience on earth that can compete with a luxury yacht charter. Your own crew, Chef and superyacht to go wherever you want, whenever you feel like it; waking to different views, in total privacy. The perfect way to spend ‘quality’ time with family, friends or just with someone special. All you need to decide is where to explore, discover or dine at next. And with everything taken care of, you’ll feel pretty special yourself.
Motor Yachts
A truly spacious and divine private deck that’s ideal for families to play together. It’s also perfect for entertaining, relaxing, meditating, dining or just slipping into a world of your own.
Sailing Yachts
Feel the wind and listen to the sea as you leisurely cruise to your next destination or competition. St Barth’s Bucket, anyone?

Sales & New Build
When the time comes to stop chartering and to start owning – and only you will know when – whether you’re after a new build or an existing vessel, Yacht Masters will be able to guide you as to what’s available on the market as well as introduce you to some of the world’s finest designers and yards. Our advice extends to all things technical as well as price and, of course, negotiation with a view to purchase.
Our aim is simple – to handle the technical and administrative matters so that the owner spends the maximum time enjoying the yacht.
