International Yachts Charter and Brokerage XXIII was founded on a simple conviction: luxury yachting deserves better than generalist intermediaries. Better than platforms that aggregate thousands of boats without knowing them. Better than brokers who operate from an office without ever setting foot on board.
For more than 20 years, our team has supported a demanding international clientele across two distinct yet complementary fields: crewed superyacht charter and luxury yacht brokerage. Two disciplines that require an intimate knowledge of the yachts, crews, ports, and markets—knowledge that can only be gained in the field, season after season and voyage after voyage.
We operate in the most demanding markets of the Mediterranean—the French Riviera, Monaco, Cannes, Ibiza, Sardinia, Capri—and beyond, in the Caribbean and other major yachting destinations worldwide.
Every yacht in our selection is known by our team. Not simply listed in a database—known. We know how PANAM handles in rough seas, what the real sleep quality is like in SILVER WAVE’s cabins, and how TINY WAVE’s crew responds to a last-minute request. This hands-on knowledge is what enables us to guide you toward the yacht truly suited to your project—not simply the one that looks best in a catalogue.
A significant part of our selection—both for charter and brokerage—is not visible on generalist platforms. Our direct relationships with owners and fleet managers, built over years of work and mutual trust, give us access to opportunities that never reach the open market. For our clients, this means privileged access to exceptional yachts, often on more advantageous commercial terms.
Our clientele—business leaders, investors, public figures, wealthy families—does not have to justify a need for discretion. It is our operating standard, not an option. The details of every charter or transaction remain strictly confidential. Our teams neither comment on nor disclose client information, under any circumstances.
Our support begins well before departure and continues throughout the charter. An itinerary change at 11:00 PM, a request for an additional service while underway, an urgent technical issue to resolve—our team is reachable and responsive 7 days a week. This level of service is not a sales argument. It is simply what our clients expect, and what we deliver.
Superyacht charter is our historic core business. For more than two decades, we have been arranging tailor-made cruises for an international clientele seeking more than a yacht—an end-to-end experience, seamless, in the world’s most beautiful destinations.
Our approach is built on three pillars:
Rigorous yacht selection. We only offer yachts that we would be willing to step aboard ourselves. Each yacht is assessed based on its equipment, the condition of its maintenance, the quality of its crew, and the consistency between its commercial presentation and the reality on board.
A precise understanding of each project. A charter for a family with three young children has nothing in common with a corporate charter for 20 guests during the Cannes Film Festival. Our first task is to understand exactly what you are looking for — to guide you towards the solution that truly matches, not the one that looks best in a brochure.
Full transparency on costs. Each quotation includes a detailed APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) estimate — fuel, port fees, provisions, taxes. No hidden fees, no surprises at the end of the cruise. Any unused APA balance is refunded with supporting documentation.
Luxury yacht brokerage is the second pillar of our business. Supporting a client in the purchase or sale of a superyacht is a complex process that requires technical, legal, financial, and relationship expertise that few agencies truly master.
For buyers, our added value is twofold: access to off-market opportunities the open market never sees, and comprehensive support throughout every stage of the acquisition—search, selection, technical inspection, sea trials, negotiation, legal due diligence, flag change, and delivery.
For sellers, we provide optimal value for their asset through a targeted distribution strategy, high-quality presentation, and access to our international network of qualified buyers. Each sale is handled under strict confidentiality, with pre-qualified buyers and a secure end-to-end process.
We operate across all major yachting destinations in the Mediterranean and beyond. Our knowledge of each port—its draft constraints, strategic berths, peak seasons, harbourmasters, and captains—is a tangible operational advantage for our clients.

Twenty years in luxury yachting have taught us one essential thing: returning clients do not come back for the yacht. They come back for the relationship, the trust, and the certainty that their expectations will be understood and met—even, and especially, when something unfolds differently than planned.
It is this commitment that guides every one of our decisions, from the first conversation to the end of the charter or the delivery of the yacht.
