Private yacht management
A structure tailored to the owner, family office, captain, cruising programme, reporting preferences and desired level of involvement.
Yacht management
The right management structure, personally coordinated around the owner.
For selected clients who require it, A1 coordinates tailored private or commercial yacht management while remaining the owner’s direct senior adviser and accountable point of contact.
Our approach
Full operational support without a fleet-management mindset.
The owner should enjoy the yacht, while the captain and crew receive useful support rather than another layer of bureaucracy. A1 coordinates the specialist and regulated functions required, works with the yacht’s preferred systems where sensible, and does not impose proprietary software designed to lock a client in.
Scope of support
Clear, coordinated, accountable.
Commercial compliance
ISM, ISPS, MLC and payroll, flag and class interfaces, registration and VAT coordination, insurance and related services through the appropriate A1 and established partner structure.
Budgets & accounting oversight
Clear budget preparation, expenditure review and reporting designed to make costs understandable and decisions timely.
Technical & planned maintenance
Practical oversight of maintenance planning, defects, quotations and priorities to support reliable operation and asset-value protection.
Procurement & quotations
Support sourcing spares, maintenance and repairs, comparing quotations and coordinating suppliers without losing sight of urgency or value.
Day-to-day problem solving
Responsive support from people who understand seagoing realities, reducing avoidable administration for the onboard team.
Direct access
Senior advice, personal coordination, direct accountability.
