swiss expertise

More than a service.
A seamless experience.

We handle every phase of your yachting journey — before, during and beyond ownership. Our expertise combines discretion, precision, and global connections.

The right yacht begins with the right partner.

Search & Advisory

Our acquisition service is built around your lifestyle, budget, and expectations. Whether you’re looking for a sporty day cruiser or a long-range explorer, we source yachts from global listings and private networks — often before they reach the market.
We organize private visits, conduct technical inspections, and advise on specs, engines, and resale value. You get honest, independent advice, with Swiss discretion and efficiency.

Includes:

  • Bespoke yacht search
  • Independent buyer representation
  • Market analysis & pre-purchase guidance
  • Off-market opportunities
  • Technical inspection coordination
  • Negotiation & offer management

We navigate complexity so you can enjoy the sea.

Legal, Tax & Registration

Buying a yacht involves more than a signature. SYB handles all the regulatory, fiscal, and legal aspects on your behalf — from selecting the right flag state and VAT strategy to mooring rights and compliance. We collaborate with a network of maritime lawyers and tax advisors to protect your interests at every step.

Includes:

  • Flag choice (commercial or pleasure)
  • VAT and import strategies
  • Legal structuring & ownership setup
  • Registration & homologation
  • Mooring acquisition or leasing
  • Insurance advisory
  • Swiss, EU, and international compliance

Luxury means freedom — not logistics.

Our team ensures your yacht is always ready, safe, and crewed. We manage technical maintenance, upgrades, and winterization. We also coordinate full charter readiness (if applicable), onboard provisioning, and 24/7 support. Whether you need seasonal management or full-year oversight, we adapt to your needs.

Includes:

  • Full yacht management
  • Crew recruitment & payroll
  • Technical upkeep & refits
  • Charter preparation & cleaning
