BESPOKE OWNERSHIP OPTIONS
With legal, financial and insurance partners based in key locations around the world, we can help make large yacht ownership work for you. We bring their services together to provide a full turnkey solution that will dovetail with your personal circumstances.
BETTER BERTHING SOLUTIONS
Fully serviced superyacht berths in the world’s most coveted destinations can be tough to find. Those with multilingual staff, reliable climates, nearby airports, round-the-clock support and attractive cruising grounds are frequently oversubscribed. But whether you need a permanent base or access to a variety of peak-season visitors’ berths, we have the contacts to deliver it.
THE YACHT CREW YOU DESERVE
At Princess, we understand the impact of having good Captain and crew. While we don’t do the recruiting, we’ll put you in touch with quality recruitment services who’ll guide you every step of the way. They will custom match the crew to your needs and they’ll also take care of the administrative tasks required to manage their employment, including contracts, confidentiality agreements, payroll and reference checks. All you have to do is relax and enjoy.
RELIABLE CHARTER REVENUE
If you want to offset the cost of ownership by offering your yacht for charter, we can take charge of that. We will ensure it’s marketed to the right audience. We will broker perfectly tailored itineraries for each charter guest that comes our way and we will provide unstinting 24-hour support both before and during each charter. At a stroke, your yacht will gain the regular use it needs to keep its systems and crew in prime operational condition, while helping mitigate your annual costs.
FLEXIBLE 24-HOUR BACK-UP
With mobile engineers at our sales and service hubs in the UK, Germany, the Balearics and southern Spain, our technical expertise is on hand whenever and wherever you need it. You can take advantage of a bespoke annual maintenance package or you can enjoy the personal reassurance of our yacht concierge service. Whether for routine maintenance, unexpected technical issues or out-of-hours yachting advice, we give you a single point of contact for all matters relating to your yacht. And when the time comes for an upgrade or refit? No problem. With a dedicated Retrofit Department, we can take care of that too.

Sales Director – Motor Yachts
As Head of our Motor Yachts Division, Joe has a wealth of nautical experience at his disposal. After delivering charter yachts in his teens and skippering transatlantic sailing boats in his 20s, he worked as a professional yacht racer, before captaining sailing yachts from 70 to 80 feet. He then became a large motorboat skipper, before moving into luxury yacht sales. Today he can boast more than 15 years sales experience handling the sales of small, medium and large yachts from some of the world’s best known and most prestigious marques. He has no doubts about the value of that knowledge to Princess customers: “I came to Princess because the boats are outstanding. But it’s not just about the product. It’s about the experience. And there isn’t any element of my history with boats that doesn’t assist me in helping customers with that. Being able to communicate first-hand the sheer magic of being on a motor yacht remains a vital part of what I do.”

Sales Manager - Germany
From the age of six, Stefan’s childhood was all about the sea. Having spent his formative years motorboating in Denmark and windsurfing and sailing in the Baltic, he has since amassed 20 years of professional boat sales experience for famous Italian yacht brands like Riva, Pershing and Ferretti. As the German fulcrum for the Princess Motor Yachts Division, Stefan is now a vital point of contact for big boat buyers and owners: “I have a very keen affinity for the needs of large Princess Yacht owners. That comes from listening intently to the client and having an innate awareness of what it means to be at sea with family and friends. I now see myself in the position of the navigator, giving advice and support so that Princess customers can make positive decisions that will enrich their lives on the water.”
