Yacht Management needed to be done better!

That’s why I set up JMS Yachting in 2015.

It’s why we don’t do back-handers. We don’t tell our clients that work needs to be done when it doesn’t. And we don’t hide our accounts or your spending from you.

As a result of our client promise, JMS Yachting has grown exponentially.

Today, my team deliver best-in-class precision yacht management and crew recruitment founded on transparency, unparalleled experience and an unremitting focus on delivering for each and every yacht operation.

If that sounds like the sort of guidance and support you aspire to enjoying, perhaps we should get in touch?

OUR PROMISE TO YOU

Ethics. Transparency. Precision.

Our foundation in global yacht management is built on integrity, accountability, and precision. The JMS Yachting team collectively brings over 200 years of experience in both commercial shipping and luxury yachting. We understand the pitfalls of poorly resourced management, as many Owners and Captains have shared how they were let down by inexperienced providers.

At JMS Yachting, we go beyond standard service delivery. We analyse past industry failures to ensure our clients are protected from similar risks, making certain that JMS-managed yachts are among the most secure, compliant, and efficiently run vessels worldwide.

I have worked extensively with Sam and JMS yachting over the past year, they have consistently presented excellent candidates for the positions that we have been looking to fill, who have been thoroughly vetted.
