A Collaborative Effort to Enhance the Yachting Experience for Captains, Crew, and Guests: World League of Agents. 

World League of Agents: Revolutionising Yachting with a Non-Profit Network of Experts

This Sunday will mark six months since the Olympic opening ceremony and six months since London become the superyacht destination of 2012. MGMT Yacht, the superaycht advisory firm and London yacht agent who were responsible for providing technical and administrative expertise to vising superyachts during the games, is now focusing on the future of London and its role as a large yacht destination. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/142534/image/large-81540f7169c7ff46b5cadb9d141ddda0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/140583">Few cities in the world boast the kind of landmarks London has in spades – and with unique access to iconic backdrops, such as Tower Bridge and Europe’s tallest building the Shard a berth on the River Thames undoubtedly offers some of the most impressive city moorings in the world. There is no reason to be put off by the weather either. It's officially not raining in London 94 per cent of the time! London has less rain than Rome and more Michelin star restaurants than Paris. London has recently been voted both the business capital of the world and the fashion capital of the world. London has also recently retained its standing as the world’s top financial centre. With so much choice, an endless list of things to do and see, it is no wonder that London should be the new playground for super wealthy yacht owners. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/142535/image/large-0405cc5c72ba02efc854ccec9ff8837f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/136471">Superyacht owners looking for an alternative destination to the crowded marinas of the Mediterranean are attracted to London with its better mooring rates and access to Northern European shipyards. London offers things that the South of France simply cannot. Mark Upton, Managing Director of MGMT Yacht said “For the first time this summer, during the Olympics Games, some of the world’s largest superyachts came to London. But it appears that won’t be last time. Superyacht owners are now convinced that London has much more to offer them than the more traditional and predictable yacht destinations - namely Monaco or Cannes.” Some of the largest superyachts were in London this summer, including Octopus, owned by co-founder of Microsoft, Paul Allen and the 74 metre Ilona, owned by Frank Lowy, co-founder of Westfield. Moored in Canary Wharf they couldn’t have been closer to the action. MGMT will be offering numerous services to visiting yachts, such as cruise planning, clearances, visas, bunkering, aviation support, provisioning, ground tours, full concierge service and more to enable superyacht guests and crew to enjoy the best that London and the UK has to offer.

London set to remain popular superyacht destination

From today, ten of the world’s biggest privately-owned superyachts have now arrived in London for the start of the 2012 Olympics. Dwarfing the usual array of maritime craft normally seen on the River Thames, some of the world’s biggest and most expensive superyachts never before seen in London have dropped anchor in the Capital’s prime Olympic locations. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/140291/image/large-c3adeaec6e8efc8f168910d3dc619e06.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/140291">London’s Canary Wharf has been transformed into a playground for the superyachts’ glamorous owners.

MGMT the London based superyacht advisory company and Royal Docks London have today announced a partnership agreement whereby MGMT will deliver and operate berthing logistics and management support to Royal Docks during the London Olympics.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/44819/image/large-9a16e92a3fb24e642d3608bca4b765c8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/44819">The Royal Docks with its prime location close to the Olympic Stadium and other Olympic venues such as the adjacent Excel Centre represent a highly sought after location for some of the world’s finest superyachts that are expected to converge on London’s River Thames during July and August.Working in partnership with Royal Docks, MGMT Concierge will provide the complete range of services for yacht owners and their guests throughout their time in London.Superyachts berthed at the Royal Docks will be provided with a dedicated full-time marina/berthing manager for on-site assistance, a secure wharf area with restricted public access, dedicated car parking and concierge services offering preferential ticketing to Olympic events across the city.Mark Upton Managing Director of MGMT said "this is a hugely exciting project for MGMT and a fantastic opportunity to showcase London and the UK as leading a superyacht destination of the future". London Docks plan to develop the berthing facility to provide a first class location for international superyachts visiting London in the future.

MGMT to operate berthing logistics during the London Olympics

London has been named the best place to visit in the world for the first time but it's not hard to see why. Hosting the Olympics Games and celebrating the Royal Jubilee this year, London has been voted the hottest destination of 2012. In preparation, Royal Docks 2012 is gearing up to welcome superyachts from all over the world in less than 3 months' time. Superyachts never before seen in London will be venturing to the UK capital this summer to be part of the 'greatest show on earth', the Olympic Games. The league table, compiled by tourist feedback website TripAdvisor, is based on analysis of tens of millions of reviews by visitors to 440 destinations around the world. To help you make the most of everything London has to offer this year, Royal Docks 2012 are offering a limited number of exclusive superyacht berths to provide a totally unique Olympic experience. The facility is perfectly positioned just minutes from Central London, London City airport, and the city’s sporting venues. In partnership with MGMTyacht, Royal Docks 2012 will be providing a full dedicated bespoke concierge service too. Whatever you want, whenever you want, Royal Docks' concierge service has it covered. But hurry, due to large demand there are very few berths remaining and time is running out to book your spot. Emma Shaw, TripAdvisor’s director, said: "The capital has been very much in the spotlight over the past few years, thanks to the royal wedding, Diamond Jubilee and, of course, the Olympics, and we’re seeing travelers experience London in an increasingly favourable way." Mike Luddy, Managing Director of Royal Docks 2012, said: "For the first time in history, superyachts from all over the world will be heading to London this summer. Here at Royal Docks 2012 we'll be offering the best-positioned berths in London, 24 hour concierge and security services and a VIP lounge and parking for clients and their guests. What better way to experience the London Olympics, officially this summer's hottest ticket." Mark Upton, Director of MGMTyacht said: "The results of this survey just confirm that London truly is the place to be for superyachts this summer. This really will be a once in a lifetime experience and I urge superyacht owners to act now and make sure they don't miss out."

London is top destination for superyachts this summer

Portland, the venue for this year’s Olympic and Paralympics sailing races, is set to become a superyacht hotspot this summer with multiple deep water berths and anchorages available. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/138535/image/large-e8d5d203fde7cd743866ed349619a051.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/138535">Portland Port, situated at the end of a peninsula off the Dorset coast, has partnered up with superyacht concierge service MGMT to offer a bespoke service for superyachts setting sail for the 2012 Olympics. The Olympic sailing takes place directly after the Superyacht Cup Race in Cowes. By basing the yachts at Portland, owners and charterers heading for stadium events in the capital can now get round the problem of Thames River height restrictions, thanks to helicopter transfers from Dorset into the heart of London. Amanda Milner, Portland Port’s Commercial Sales Manager, said: “As some big sailing yachts are unable to cruise down the Thames, Portland would be a good location to use as a base. Yacht owners and their guests who wish to be in London for the 2012 Olympic Games will be able to leave their yachts at Portland Harbour, and take a helicopter transfer directly into the heart of London, where the stadium events will be held.” MGMT Director Mark Upton said: “From July next year, the River Thames and its surrounding waterways will welcome the largest number of superyachts ever witnessed to the capital at any one time. “Due to partnerships with innovative companies like Portland Port, MGMT is able to offer the ultimate luxury packages including transport to and from Olympic events, in order to ensure our clients really do have a once-in-a-lifetime experience.” Portland Port, which has multiple deep water berths suitable for vessels over 24m LOA, is also perfectly placed as a stop-over destination between Falmouth, the Solent and the Isle of Wight, for superyachts participating in the 2012 Regatta circuit. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/138536/image/large-8daa17588ee73d03c4852f9b04e597e1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/138536">Superyacht builder Sunseeker International operates a facility just a stone’s throw away from the Port. Portland Port can also arrange bunkering, skilled marine engineers, coded aluminium and steel welders, electricians and machinists, joiners and carpenters, fibreglass and hydraulic repairs, high pressure washing and diving specialists, shoreside power and fresh water. The pretty, traditional seaside town of Weymouth is only 15 minutes away. Amanda added: “If you or your family or friends want to come ashore, then Portland Port can act as a gateway to the South West. Visitors can take the time to explore the nearby UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Bath, Stonehenge and the Jurassic Coast.” Portland Port +44 (0)1305 824044 <a href="mailto:sales@portland-port.co.uk?subject=Olympics%202012%20%28SuperYachtTimes.com%29">sales@portland-port.co.uk</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.portland-port.co.uk">www.portland-port.co.uk</a> MGMT Yacht +44 (0)20 7193 3206 <a href="mailto:info@mgmtyacht.com?subject=Olympics%202012%20%28SuperYachtTimes.com%29">info@mgmtyacht.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mgmtyacht.com">www.mgmtyacht.com</a>

Real progress at Olympic berthing venue

MGMT has announced they have partnered with Royal Docks 2012 for the Olympic Games in London 2012.The Royal Docks will be the premier destination for Superyachts visiting the Olympics next summer and is expecting more yachts than ever before to make London their destination for the summer. MGMT will provide an unrivalled number of services to visiting yachts including Olympic tickets, berths, VIP water transport to and from Olympic sites, the very best in hospitality venues and all usual Superyacht services including aircraft and helicopter charter, cars and provisioning.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/44820/image/large-3e46b93693ea38676a13fffd5a275678.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/44820">"The partnership of our two companies means visiting yachts will not only benefit from a secure, spacious and easily accessible location, but also from our concierge services the moment their berth is booked." states Mark Upton Director of MGMT. "This fantastic alliance will provide visiting yachts with what is essentially a one stop shop for all their needs during their stay in London. However the huge additional benefit is that our concierge service is free to all yachts booking throughMGMT or with the Royal Docks themselves."Royal Docks 2012 and MGMT are also planning a high-end hospitality suite on site offering a range of additional luxury and yachting services for the guests of visiting yachts. MGMT will have a permanent 24 hour presence during the games in order to ensure the needs of all their clients are met as quickly as possible.Bookings are being taken now for berths from 20m ? 160m and with limited availability both ROYAL DOCKS 2012 and MGMT urge interested Owners, Captains and management companies to make contact early in order to avoid disappointment.

MGMT partners with Royal Docks 2012 for the Olympic Games

With one year to go until the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic games one thing is certain. London will play host to the largest number of superyachts ever seen on the Thames at one time. This spectacle, sure to become a tourist attraction in it's own right will provide a massive boost to the UK superyacht industry and prove London and the Thames to be a successful if different destination for yachts of all sizes. "We are very excited to see such levels of interest from yachts so far" Says Mark Upton, Director of MGMT. "We were always confident yachts would book for the Olympics but expected this to happen later in the year once the summer charter season ended. We have made a huge effort to keep the industry informed of our concierge services and also the fact that the popular tickets, hospitality, and services will sell out very quickly.

Superyacht berths for London 2012 released next week

Former Captain and Super Yacht aficionado Mark Upton has formalised his advisory role to high-end clients with the establishment of MGMT – a brand new superyacht advisory service designed to assist clients from an independent perspective on charter, build and purchase. On the launch of the business this week Upton commented, “Clients are simply getting tired of being offered Yachts that are not quite right for their needs. MGMT has been born out of my clients asking me for independent advice on aspects of a Superyacht experience; from build and management; to purchase and even to how to charter a yacht during the Olympics". Upton has pulled together a highly skilled team to advise on every aspect ensuring clients get better pricing, a greater range of opportunities and Yachts which properly fulfill their needs. In addition, MGMT are offering clients advice on the best way to charter a yacht during the Olympic 2012 celebrations – working with the international brokers as well as with Superyacht owners around the world. They have access to the limited number of berths available during this period. Due to Upton's close relationship with Superyacht owners around the world, MGMT are able to offer access to a huge cross section of the world's best yachts.
