Sale & Purchase AN UNBE ATABLE TR ACK RECORD IN THE SALE AND ACQUISITION OF SUPERYACHTS

Buying a superyacht is one of life’s pinnacle achievements. However, the challenge of finding the perfect yacht at the right price is not a journey to embark on lightly or without an experienced hand to guide you. Sellers also need a trusted partner with extensive market knowledge to manage the sale of their most valuable commodity. Fraser is the world leader in the sale of luxury yachts over 30m (98’). Our advanced databases allow us to bring buyers and sellers together easily and discreetly. We represent the largest fleet of yachts for sale and have access to thousands more. But our true advantage lies in the specialist expertise of our team. Our brokers view hundreds of vessels every year and build personal relationships with hundreds of Owners worldwide. The results are swift, problem-free transactions that perfectly satisfy the needs of both parties.

“ I cannot thank you or the crew enough. Our kids were literally in tears in the car on the way home from the boat, and not just from the amazing experience we had just had, but because of the friendship and love they had for the people that made it happen. Thank you for making this once in a lifetime trip so memorable. I cannot wait to do it again." CHARTER CLIENT, 2021



Chartering your yacht CONSCIENTIOUS MANAGEMENT AND EFFECTIVE MARKETING

Your yacht is many things: a lifelong ambition, the key to freedom, an indulgent luxury or a precious possession. What it should never become is an unwelcomed responsibility, making ownership an increasingly challenging passion to sustain. Lighten the financial burden, and you can fully immerse yourself in the sense of freedom you fell in love with. The secret lies in your yacht itself. Chartering can generate crucial revenue for its upkeep while still allowing you to enjoy your vessel whenever you desire. With Fraser’s management experience, your valuable asset is in trusted hands. Our world-leading marketing and management expertise will ensure your yacht achieves the highest possible global profile and turns the right heads.

“ Our Charter Management experience has been seamless and beautiful. We wouldn’t even think of having anybody else right now.” ANN & DAVID SUTHERLAND, OWNERS, 39M/ 130’ ALL INN

Fraser offers invaluable assistance with all new-builds, refits and conversions through our in-house project management team.

Management DEPENDABLE SUPPORT FOR OWNER S AND THEIR C APTAINS

Owning and maintaining a luxury yacht is an increasingly elaborate business. Employing yacht management services is the sure way to alleviate the pressure of responsibility, protect the value of your asset, maximise its potential and run it efficiently. Fraser was one of the first companies to recognise the need for such services and provide an effective solution. Today, we have the largest fleet of superyachts under management, including some of the most prestigious in the world. We provide a level of support that we believe is unparalleled in the industry. Our close relationships with shipyards, designers, naval architects, Flag States and Class Societies as well as other suppliers enable our team to keep up to date with the many types of vessel. This also allows us to stay abreast of design trends and how to run vessels efficiently alongside the ever-changing technical, administrative and regulatory standards.

WORLDWIDE ACCESS TO THE MOST DISCREET AND QUALIFIED CREW

A luxury yacht is nothing without an exceptionally skilled and experienced crew. First, there is the precise operation of a supremely advanced ocean-going vessel. Second, and equally demanding, is the delivery of ultra-luxury accommodation and catering services. In essence, every crew member’s role is to give you peace of mind, allowing you to relax and enjoy the experience of owning a yacht, knowing that everything is in the most capable hands. Fraser’s subsidiary company, The Crew Network (TCN), is the world's longest running professional crew placement agency. With offices in 4 worldwide locations including the USA and Europe, TCN was established over 30 years ago. TCN's professional team of recruitment consultants boast a wealth of experience in yachting, human resources and business. Using a state of the art recruitment database holding over 45,000 crew profiles, candidates are matched to find the best fit for each position. Potential crew members are interviewed and screened to ensure we find the best people to run your yacht to the highest of standards.

“ TCN is the original and only true crew network that delivers Quality, Integrity, Confidentiality and are always there to support the needs of the yachting industry. TCN delivers more than you realised you needed.” MASTER MARINER AND SUPERYACHT CAPTAIN





Marketing RE ACHING THE WIDEST AND MOST RELEVANT AUDIENCES

Intelligent, targeted and high-impact marketing is the active catalyst that ensures your yacht stands out from the crowd and achieves a successful sale or chartering contract. As the world’s leading experts in yacht marketing, Fraser’s approach is proactive and international in scope, using both proven promotional tools and innovative techniques. Central to our strategy is our strong presence at high-profile yachting events in established and new markets around the world. And, working with experienced photographers, we produce a series of beautiful annual publications as well as high-quality brochures for individual yachts. But it never stops there. Other routes to reach the widest and most relevant audience include online marketing, print advertising, public relations, luxury events, sponsorships and partnerships – whatever it takes to achieve the optimum global coverage for your yacht.

“ Fraser’s innovative marketing generates numerous charter enquiries and bookings and I have personally benefited from the results.” CHARTER YACHT OWNER , 45M (14 8’) MOTOR YACHT
