Representative portrait 01“They talked me out of the first two yachts I wanted to buy. The third one I have owned for nine years and have never once regretted.”
Own the Horizon
Acquisition, brokerage and charter of the world's most significant yachts.
The Fleet
Beyond selection. Perfectly matched.
We represent a deliberately short list. Every yacht below has been inspected by our own surveyors, and we decline more mandates than we accept.

The Atelier
A broker works for the transaction. We work for the principal.
Horizon. has represented one side of the table since 1994 — never both. We do not take a listing and a buyer on the same hull, we do not accept builder commissions, and we publish our fee before you engage us.
What that buys you is an opinion you can act on. When we tell a client to walk away from a vessel, roughly a third of the time we are walking away from the fee with them.

Testimonials
Representative portrait 01
Representative portrait 02“The survey found something the builder's own team had missed. That conversation cost them a commission and earned them everything since.”
Representative portrait 03“I asked for two weeks in the Aeolians with no itinerary and no phone signal. They delivered exactly that, which is harder than it sounds.”
The private office
Begin with a conversation
No brochures, no mailing list, no follow-up you did not ask for. One partner reads your enquiry and replies personally, usually within the day.
