YACHT MANAGEMENT

For a streamlined ownership experience, a yacht needs to be fully compliant at all times. The YPI Yacht Management team ensures that all necessary certifications are in place and up-to-date, as well as assisting with registration and preparation for audits and Flag & Class inspections. We also provide ISM/Mini ISM services with 24/7 DPA, ISPS and MLC.

YPI has strong relationships with top yards and can negotiate advantageous rates for our Owners for refits and maintenance. As former captains, chief engineers and Lloyds surveyors, the YPI team are experts in the technical aspects of yacht operations. On hand 24/7, we offer emergency assistance and repairs wherever you are in the world.

The YPI Yacht Management team brings decades of onboard experience as Captains and crew on ships as well as motor and sailing yachts of all sizes. We understand operations from an onboard perspective. Instead of micro-managing, we work alongside captains and crew to optimise operations, ensuring every yacht stays running smoothly, 24/7.

YPI Yacht Management works closely with top insurance firms and brokers to negotiate the most advantageous coverage for every yacht. Taking into account planned itineraries and use of the yacht, we secure the best coverage for the most competitive rates for our yachts and Owners. And if a claim arises concerning the yacht or crew, we handle that too.  

YPI’s dedicated yacht management accounts team handles all aspects of financial administration, from budgets to invoices to debit cards, leaving the Captain free to concentrate on your onboard experience. Openness and integrity are key to the YPI approach, and Owners and their teams receive detailed and comprehensive financial reports each month.

A yacht is as good as its crew. We take care of crew management from payroll to training, ensuring Captains and crew work effectively together for the benefit of our Owners. Looking for new crew? Led by Laurence Lewis, YPI Crew is an industry leader in crew recruitment, recently voted the world’s number 1 Yacht Crew Recruitment Agency worldwide.

Working on the ocean has given the YPI Yacht Management team real-life experience of finding solutions to the many issues that can arise onboard. In a crisis, Captains are assured of a direct line to a professional with an immediate understanding of all situations from technical to personnel, and effective emergency response coordination.
