DUTCH YACHT CONSULTANCY
Your superyacht is already out there.
We know exactly where to find it.
For those who have arrived in life, in ambition, in everything that matters the only remaining question is which vessel will carry your name across the world's most extraordinary waters. Dutch Yacht Consultancy exists to answer that question, in absolute confidence and with unrivalled expertise.
Serving the world's most discerning buyers. By private enquiry only.
Buying a superyacht is not a transaction. It is a defining moment.
No two superyacht acquisitions are alike. Budget, timing, registry, location, crew, condition, heritage each variable demands an expert eye and decades of instinct to navigate correctly. The difference between the right vessel and the wrong one is rarely visible in a brochure. It lives in the details: in hull histories, in survey reports, in conversations with brokers who trust only those they know.
This is precisely where Dutch Yacht Consultancy steps in. With over six decades of intimate maritime expertise, our master consultant has seen every vessel, every pitfall, and every opportunity this market has to offer. Our clients high net-worth individuals who value both results and discretion consistently realise savings and added value of up to 15% on their acquisitions. Not because we drive a hard bargain. Because we know things other advisors simply do not.

Every nautical mile, every inspection, every negotiation has sharpened an expertise I now place entirely at the service of my clients. When you ask me to find your yacht, I am not consulting a database. I am drawing on sixty years of a life lived on the water."
