Marine Industry : New management service at Sunseeker

New management service at Sunseeker

By IBI Magazine/Michael Howorth

Using the London International Boat Show to launch its new yacht management service for owners, Sunseeker Superyacht Management aims to look after maintenance, operation and administration of any Sunseeker vessel and reporting directly to the owner.

Captain Ben Young, who for many years was the company's trials master, has a wealth of experience. He believes that the complexities of operating a superyacht requires skills, experience and experience of the brand and feels he fits the bill. He said: "An object as beautiful and valuable as a superyacht deserves exemplary treatment, and we plan to offer exactly that."

Properly managed and maintained yachts retain much higher values long-term. With specialist knowledge, management support can reduce the risk of incidents onboard and make financial savings in the day-to-day running of the vessel. Owners can experience problems recruiting the right captain and crew and there are often headaches involved in the administration and practical operation of a yacht.

Young's team plan to solve these problems. They can place a qualified, professional captain and crew onboard taking care of classification, flagstate, mini-ISM and financial administration. Working with the captain they then offer practical operational support, providing protection and peace of mind.

The company's close relationship with the builder gives them direct access to key personnel and infrastructure, yet their independence from the shipyard and brokerage houses is intended to allow them to make decisions and give advice quickly and without bias. Based in Port Camille Rayon, Golfe Juan in the South of France, it has a multi-lingual team positioned to offer support throughout the Mediterranean and beyond.
