Driftwood Yachting
Independent advisers to yacht owners and family offices
On the owner’s side of the table
A yacht owner is surrounded by people paid by the sale, the refit or the hours spent aboard. Driftwood is different. We are experienced yacht professionals who work only for the owner, from the day you start looking for a yacht to the day you sell her.
Our team brings together decades of first-hand yachting experience: command at sea, yacht budgets and accounts, crew and guest operations, and the buying and selling of yachts, backed by a global network of trusted partners and contacts.
How we help
Before you buy
An experienced captain and crew’s view of the yacht before you make an offer: is she right for how you want to use her, and what will she really cost to run?
Refits and yard periods
Specification, tenders, contracts and progress, with someone in the yard who answers only to you.
Preparing to sell
An honest view of what a buyer’s captain and surveyor will find, and what to address first.
Voyage and season planning
Where to cruise, when, and with which trusted partners on the ground, including remote and expedition destinations.
Ongoing oversight
Independent review of budgets, crew, maintenance and management, reported clearly to owners and family offices.
Independent by rule
Fixed fees
We are paid for our advice, never by commission on what we recommend.
Discretion
Your identity, your yacht and your plans stay confidential as standard.
Start a conversation
Tell us a little about your yacht or your plans. We reply personally, in confidence.
