ABOUT US
I have been directly responsible for the sale and purchase of over 600 yachts ranging from family cruisers to 40 metre plus superyachts and involving more than 20 nationalities of buyer and seller.
My career has also been rich and varied, starting as a graduate trainee with Unilever, progressing to senior management positions in another major multi-national before establishing successful businesses in publishing and advertising.
The experiences gained living in Arabia, Spain, France, Greece, Russia, the Indian Ocean and the Far East have often helped me work with a client base which is truly global.
Throughout my working life I have owned yachts and in 2001 this led to the purchase of a yacht brokerage business in Cornwall. Since then, my passion and business has been yacht broking. Another six years were spent in Palma and a further ten in London before identifying Andorra as the best hub for the future of Abery Yachts.
This huge depth of transactional and cultural experience often makes the difference between a sale completing or not. It is surprising how many yacht transactions could be lost to last-minute issues with paperwork.
Owning my own boats from sailing dinghies through RIBS to offshore cruising yachts has given me insight into the joys and pains of ownership! Yacht brokerage like yacht ownership requires some sense of humour but above all great results are delivered by hard work, in-depth knowledge, attention to detail, discretion and a professional approach.
No two yacht sales are the same; every yacht, every seller and every buyer is different. Each transaction receives fastidious management of detail. Our objective is simple – to deliver the best possible outcome for our clients and to create a positive atmosphere during what can be a stressful process.
The service offered by Abery Yachts is unrestricted by geography, however most of the business’s transactions take place in the Mediterranean. Being based in Andorra allows instant response to client needs, freeing us from airline schedules and allowing same-day access to the key yachting centres of Spain and France.
The objective of the business is to help clients sell and or buy yachts efficiently and in a manner that reflects their objectives. Prices achieved or paid cannot be guaranteed but they can most certainly be influenced positively by providing excellent service.
Clients putting their trust in Abery Yachts with a listing of their yacht can expect fantastic presentation and the fullest possible access to information. This positively influences the price that can be achieved. A correctly priced and presented yacht should find a new owner in months. I have often achieved sales in a few weeks. Only once have I sold a yacht on the same day as I listed her!


Whether finding a buyer for a listing or finding the right yacht for a client the approach is always tenacious and discrete. Transactions are completed with minute attention to detail, always ensuring client security.
The business uses the main websites such as YachtWorld and TheYachtMarket which bring a stream of new enquirers. The business also enjoys mature relationships with a vast network of brokerage contacts who are encouraged to bring their clients to Abery Yachts listings. The objective is to offer the seller the best chance to get the best price for their yacht in the quickest time possible.
Each listing will require and receive a tailored approach according to the owner’s needs and the type of yacht. Prevailing and anticipated market conditions will be analysed and discussed with the client.
Abery Yachts does not restrict itself to the sale of direct listings. I have often been asked to find a yacht for new and old clients. Great relationships with other leading brokers facilitate access to the broadest market. Insight and access to market information is shared and negotiation skills brought to bear to get the client the right result.
