Trusted Expertise
From finances to technical oversight, every detail of your yacht is handled with professionalism and care. Our team combines long-term industry know-how with a commitment to preserving your yacht’s value over time.
Global Reach, Local knowledge
With offices in Antibes, Monaco, Palma, London, Zug, and Dubai, our support network spans the globe. Wherever your yacht cruises, you benefit from international coverage with the warmth of boutique service.
Full-Serviceor Modular Control
We believe in flexibility. Some owners want a complete turnkey solution, others prefer support only in specific areas. Our modular packages adapt to your yacht — whether it’s a 30m family vessel or a 90m new build.
One Point Of Contact
Every yacht is assigned a dedicated Yacht Manager who knows the vessel inside out. For the owner, this means one relationship, one clear channel of communication, and proactive problem-solving whenever you need it.
Operational Confidence
From port calls and yard periods to seasonal cruising logistics, we coordinate everything with efficiency. Owners enjoy seamless holidays; captains and crew enjoy consistent, knowledgeable support.
A World-Class Team
We don’t just fill roles — we hire talent. Many of our managers are ex-captains, engineers, or compliance specialists with first-hand knowledge of life at sea. This means decisions are made by people who have lived the job and understand the challenges.
Safety Assured
As your Designated Person Ashore (DPA) and Company Security Officer (CSO), we manage drills, certifications, and compliance with ISM and ISPS regulations. This safeguards not just the yacht, but the people and experiences onboard.
Financial Clarity
Transparent reporting, supplier payments, and forecasting give owners full visibility and control. Every euro is accounted for, with financial context that allows for smart decisions.
Technical Confidence
From daily maintenance tracking to refit planning, our technical specialists preserve the yacht’s systems with accuracy and foresight. The result: asset protection, reduced downtime, and freedom from constant oversight.
Years of
experience
Crew Excellence
We handle recruitment, payroll, certification tracking, and welfare with precision — ensuring your crew are compliant, motivated, and stable. For owners, that means a professional onboard culture and long-term loyalty.
The Bluewater Difference
Choosing Bluewater means choosing a partner, not just a provider. We are big enough to support the largest superyachts, yet personal enough to know every client by name. Our “One Company, One Complete Service” philosophy means every element of yachting is delivered seamlessly under one roof — with flexibility, care, and a relentless focus on the owner’s peace of mind.
About usAny questions?
We got you.
What’s included in yacht management?
We offer both full-service management packages and modular support, depending on your needs. This can include financial administration, crew management and payroll, operational and technical support, maintenance planning, safety oversight, and 24/7 assistance for captains and crew.
Do I need yacht management if I already have a captain?
Absolutely. A great captain is essential — but even the best can’t do everything alone. Shoreside management gives your captain the breathing space to focus on running the yacht day to day, while we handle the bigger picture: compliance, payroll, budgeting, maintenance planning, and crisis response. Think of it as a partnership — one that protects both the yacht and the people onboard.
What size yachts do you manage?
We work with yachts from 30 metres to 140 metres, whether private or charter, new build or refit.
How are fees structured?
Every yacht is different, so every plan is customised. Fees are based on the yacht’s size, program, and the level of support required. We build a clear proposal so you know exactly what’s included.
How do I get started?
It begins with a conversation. We’ll arrange a meeting — online or in person — to understand your yacht’s specific needs. From there we prepare a tailored management proposal. Once terms are agreed, we complete all compliance checks (KYC and due diligence), issue onboarding documents, and conduct an onboard survey of your yacht’s systems and documentation. From that point, your yacht is fully under management — with structured support in place from day one.
Can I choose only certain services instead of full management?
Yes. Our approach is modular. Some owners want a complete turnkey package, others prefer support only in specific areas such as financial administration or crew payroll. You decide the level of involvement — and we adapt our service to your yacht.
How does Bluewater support the crew?
We manage everything from contracts and payroll to certification tracking and training. This means your crew are legally compliant, fairly treated, and well-prepared — which translates into better performance and loyalty on board.
How does Bluewater ensure my yacht stays compliant with international regulations?
We oversee all major conventions including ISM, ISPS, MLC, MARPOL, and SOLAS. In practice, that means ensuring your yacht passes inspections, your crew are trained for drills, and your environmental responsibilities are always up to standard. Owners can relax knowing that compliance is never in question.
What happens if there's and emergency while my yacht is cruising?
Our team provides 24/7 crisis management support. Whether it’s a technical fault, a medical situation, or a severe weather diversion, your captain has direct access to shore-based experts who can coordinate solutions quickly.
Where does Bluewater operate?
We support yachts worldwide, with offices in Antibes, Monaco, Palma, London, Zug, and Dubai. Whether your yacht is in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Middle East, or further afield, our global reach ensures you’re never without support.
What makes Bluewater different from other yacht management companies?
We are the only yachting company that unites all divisions in-house — management, crew placement, training, charter, sales, and refit. This synergy means your yacht benefits from a single trusted partner across every area, with consistent standards and no fragmentation of responsibility.
