About us
In 2004, we saw an opportunity to bring
To not just provide seamless support, but elevate the entire experience. To celebrate yachts not just as assets, but for their inspiring crew, enormous capability and the access they bring to some of the most incredible parts of the world.
Every day. On every yacht. During every voyage.
Our team members are active participants in trade associations and industry think tanks, all passionate about driving progress. And we bring together a dynamic and ever-evolving network of crews, captains, yards, clients, and thought leaders to keep excellence in yachting moving forward.
We manage over 100 large yacht operations, from traditional operations to private fleets, special purpose yachts, exploration vessels and regatta racing teams. Our global team has a vast breadth of in-house expertise spanning sales, purchase, charter, management, new construction and refit.
We approach everything we do with creativity and innovation. Envisioning the future, as well as addressing the needs of the present. And bringing solutions that enhance every aspect of our clients’ experience in ways never imagined before.
We believe yachting isn’t defined by the assets themselves but by the people who bring those assets to life. For Y.CO employees, crew, partners and clients alike, we strive to create an environment where people can live their best lives and do their best work.
Culture counts. So we bring together brilliant crews with a special kind of synergy, allow team members continual opportunities to grow, and ensure that every owner’s vision, values and ambitions are reflected in the way we manage their yacht.
We believe trust counts for everything. Y.CO remains 100% privately owned by our co-founders, allowing us to foster unique relationships, offer an intimate, highly bespoke service to our clients, and establish a network of trusted partners all over the globe, including every major European shipyard.
We promise absolute confidentiality and build relationships that last for decades, staying by our clients’ sides at every stage of their yachting journey.
We want to leave the yachting industry in a better place. Already, our teams, crews and owners are quietly making a big difference in lots of little ways.
We partner with nonprofits such as the Rocky Mountain Institute and YachtAid Global to make a positive impact through humanitarian aid, disaster response programs and efforts to accelerate the green energy transition. By 2030, we aim to reduce overall fleet emissions by at least 20% through the integration of new technology and operational efficiency. And we’re helping our clients make a positive contribution through emissions compensation programmes, crew welfare initiatives or by equipping their yachts to aid in research or humanitarian missions.
