At Boot Düsseldorf (stand 10 F17) four new power systems will be introduced, varying from the Basic Comfort System, a small solution for yachts longer than eight metres to the sophisticated Royal System for yachts up to 25 metres with a wide range of power consumers onboard. The Basic Comfort system is the smallest system. It consists of a 3.5 kW Whisper Power Centre sine wave inverter/battery charger, a remote control panel with energy monitor, shore connection with isolation transformer (optional) and a set of long-life GEL power batteries. The Advanced System consists of the GENVERTER 7 i, a variable speed generator that supplies 24 V to the onboard batteries and/or 230 VAC power via the WPC (Whisper Power Centre) inverter/battery charger, Power System Control Panel with built-in battery monitor and a set of GEL batteries. It can feed the complete DC and AC board system. Total 230 VAC power rating is 7 kW, sufficient for electric cooking, air conditioning, a washing machine or dishwasher and other 230 V devices. ‘Silent power’ is supplied by the highly reliable and efficient sine wave inverter (3.5 kW) that can also serve as a booster in case of limited shore power availability. The three-stage battery charger supplies a charge current up to 90 A. The system enables complete plug &amp; play installation, with the application of variable speed permanent magnet technology providing considerable savings in fuel consumption. Also available for 12 VDC and 48 VDC batteries. The Admiral System was developed for yachts and small professional vessels longer than 12 metres. Its total capacity is 9.5 kW with sufficient peak power to start inductive loads. It is based on the super silent WhisperPower SQ 6, 1500 rpm generator, of which the AC output is connected directly to the WhisperPower Centre. Additionally, the Whisper Power Centre has a shore connection, with the option of an isolation transformer. The Power System Control Panel (PSCP) controls both the Whisper generator and the 3.5 kW Whisper Power Centre inverter/battery charger. A shortage of shore power can be compensated by the Whisper Power Centre via the batteries. The system is equipped with WhisperPower High Density deep cycle AGM batteries for 700 full cycles. The Royal System offers the perfect solution for yachts and professional vessels longer than 16 metres. It is based on the WhisperPower SQ 12 (12 kW) basic generator, linked to two parallel connected Whisper Power Centres of 3.5 kW. The total system capacity is nearly 20 kW, while the ‘Silent power’ is 7 kW and the charge capacity 180 A. The system can also be three-staged (3x400 VAC) with three Power Centres. Royal Systems are supplied with 2- VOLT GEL power traction batteries.WhisperPower +31 (0) 512 571 550 <a href="mailto:info@whisperpower.nl?subject=WhisperPower%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@whisperpower.nl</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.whisperpower.nl/">www.whisperpower.nl</a>

According to our own market intelligence, over the last 10 years the shipyard has delivered an average of three to four yachts per year with an annual turnover of around €200 million.A small industrial town in the southern Netherlands about 90 minutes by car from Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport and far from the sea, is not the most likely place to find one of the world’s top superyacht shipyards. Nevertheless, the municipality of Oss is home to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen Yachts</a>, one of the area’s biggest employers with approximately 500 staff on its payroll and up to 500 more engaged as external contractors.Following the war in Ukraine and the sanctioning of one of its UBOs, last year <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> announced that the company ownership “is once again 100 percent Dutch” and controlled by a Dutch foundation presided over by former <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> CEO Arthur Brouwer, now Niels Vaessen and Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Anjo Joldersma. Coming in the wake of the Covid crisis, the shipyard handled a tricky situation speedily and transparently with no effect on production or sales.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/187162/image/large-2a66a2332500b5f0ebf24d96a5d4a8a4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/187162">“The transition to a Dutch foundation has not impacted <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>'s day-to-day operations,” says Mark Cavendish, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>’s CCO, who returned as a board member after Friso Visser stepped down from the role earlier this year. “The change in ownership structure was primarily aimed at ensuring long-term stability. And yes, we do expect this structure to remain in place in the foreseeable future.”While the yard’s original shed is still in operation and currently houses the 50-metre full aluminium, semi-displacement Project Jade, there are no fewer than seven other construction halls, of which six contain covered drydocks. During our visit, there were nine new-build projects in various stages of construction at the shipyard. Another four projects were in earlier stages of construction elsewhere in the Netherlands and two further yachts were undergoing sea trials.While <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> outsources the construction of its steel hulls in the north of the country, it builds its aluminium hulls in-house in Oss (the aluminium superstructures are made close to the yard by a local subcontractor). In 2000 the shipyard established its own furniture factory, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen Yachts Interiors</a>, when it acquired the Oortgiese company close to the Dutch-German border, but it also works with external contractors for the interiors.The science of speculation<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen Yachts</a> is a leading exponent of building superyachts on speculation, but the practice requires deep pockets and brings inherent risks. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> CCO Mark Cavendish explains: &nbsp;“The decision-making process for starting a new spec build involves many factors, such as – but not limited to – the level of inquiries for certain yacht models or sizes, the availability of capacity in our sheds, financial considerations, the capacity of our workforce – you name it. Our management team will make the final decision, but all departments give their input in order to have full buy-in when we make the choice for a new speculation yacht to start. However, in the end, the choice always remains somewhat of a calculated risk. At <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>, we’re well prepared to take this risk, as we have shown over and over across several decades that we are very good at selling yachts.”The fact that even its series yachts have custom interiors by established international designers would seem to add an extra dimension to speculation projects in terms of costing. Series yachts are sold at fixed prices, but presumably some designers cost more than others?<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294877/image/large-307f5ade526df2ad8caa0e1bc2c05b02.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294877">“The choice of a certain designer over another for a new speculation project does not really have a significant impact on the price of a yacht,” continues Cavendish. “We set a budget for the designer and some parameters for them to work with. However, if the designer has a particularly good idea, but it would stretch the budget, then we can be flexible if we think it will make for a more attractive yacht commercially.”The power of threeOver the years, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>'s product strategy has evolved to suit market needs but has generally aimed at combining series, semi-custom and full custom production. The current business model is centred on three distinct product lines: Series, Smart Custom, and Full Custom, which offer varying degrees of personalisation and speed of delivery. At first glance, this is confirmation of the way the company was already operating, but the difference lies in the messaging: “The aim was to bring more clarity to our product offering by refining our terminology,” explains Cavendish. “In a competitive market, a clear proposition is vital for success.”There is a lot of fudging when it comes to defining what terms like ‘series’, ‘semi-‘ and ‘full-custom’ actually mean in the superyacht world and the lack of clarity can sometimes be misleading. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> likes to keep the record straight, not least as an aid to managing its own clients’ expectations.“For instance, if a client arrives late in the build cycle and wants all kinds of changes, we have to gently explain what we can and cannot do,” says former CEO Arthur Brouwer. “We have to be very careful that these instances don’t start a snowball effect in our production that takes up too many resources. If there is a significant delay in the build cycle of one project, it can affect others and that can be very risky for the shipyard. We have managed significant changes without issues, but there have been others where we felt we couldn’t accommodate all the changes requested and had to let the customer go.”Series production has traditionally been <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>’s bread and butter, accounting for up to half of its production. It is important to note, however, that the interiors are always customised and only six to 12 units in each series are built. Moreover, as in the automotive world, a life-cycle change is introduced after every fourth to sixth hull (the latest in these periodic changes is the new 50-metre Steel series designed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/168" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Harrison Eidsgaard (Company)">Harrison Eidsgaard</a> announced at FLIBS last year). This allows products to be adapted to the market and technological developments, while avoiding over-supply of the same yachts down the line when they enter the pre-owned market.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> has the in-house engineering capacity for one or two full-custom project like Project Skyfall (now <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8982" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ultra G60.0m (196'10&quot;)Heesen Yachts2023">Ultra G</a>) and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9081" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sparta67.0m (219'10&quot;)Heesen Yachts2023">Project Sparta</a> per year. Any more and it has to start in-sourcing some expertise as the lead times for the engineering are that much longer. Alongside that it can handle a Smart Custom project and two or three series yachts.&nbsp;“We can adapt our workflow, but the stretch starts when we have two Smart Custom projects that begin close together, for example, because we have to scramble all our resources at the pre-production stage,” says Brouwer.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294878/image/large-134a4ef8a5985318779ba1a4b4302e50.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294878">Bright ideasEver since Frans <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> agreed to build <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Octopussy 43.58m (142'12&quot;)Heesen Yachts1988">Octopussy</a> that broke the 50-knot barrier and was the fastest yacht in the world when delivered in 1988, technical innovation has figured strongly in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>’s make-up. Nowadays that innovation is focused less on raw speed and more on combining performance with fuel economy. In 2013 it launched 65-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3676" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Illusion65.0m (213'3&quot;)Heesen Yachts2013">Illusion</a> (previously Galactica Star), the first yacht with a Fast Displacment Hull Form (FDHF) devised by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen Naval Architects</a>, which offers resistance values that are typically 20 per cent lower than a well-designed hard chine hull form at semi-displacement speeds. In 2014 it was the turn of 42-metre Alive (now <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4639" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ares42.4m (139'1&quot;)Heesen Yachts2014">Ares</a>), the first yacht with a Hull Vane, a patented foil also by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen</a> that is fitted below the transom to reduce water resistance and pitching motions. Model tests at the towing tank of Wolfson Unit in Southampton showed fuel savings of 20 per cent at 12 knots and up to 23 per cent at 14.5 knots.

These comprise 10 projects started for the client (Full Custom or Smart Custom) and 27 on speculation. 20 of the total number of sales were for yachts between 40 and 50 metres, 12 between 50 and 60 metres, and five over 60 metres LOA. At the time of writing, the company had 14 projects in build.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/256089/image/large-cb8b97e5eae6f99bd6b763a450a7df8e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/256089">Starting on specWithin its three product lines, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> builds fast displacement and semi-displacement motor yachts in steel or aluminium between 49 metres (up from 37 metres not so long ago) and 80 metres, with a sweet spot somewhere in the middle. But the business strategy that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> excels at is building yachts on speculation, a potentially risky practice that it has honed to perfection.These are the projects that the shipyard finances and starts building itself with the aim of selling them at a later point during construction (half of the projects currently in build were started on spec). The advantage is that owners don’t have to wait for so long for delivery and means the yard can guarantee availability to the market in the future. This proved especially true in the immediate aftermath of the Covid pandemic when demand exceeded supply. “Yacht building has changed insofar as you used to be able to plan a year or two in advance,” Brouwer notes. “Now you have to look four or five years ahead.”Key to the success of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>’s on-spec build program is the close relationship it enjoys with the brokerage community. The annual <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> Ski Cup in the Italian Dolomites, for example, is a coveted trip among brokers. The event is all about having fun, but has a serious side too as a ‘thank you’ to their hard work during the course of the year. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> has good reason to be thankful as the vast majority of sales, whether new-builds or pre-owned yachts, are concluded through brokerage houses. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/274630/image/large-1811b8f522d4b7b1daec47c955e8b180.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/274630">Bigger is not always bestThe current facilities in Oss, as well as the surrounding bridges and waterways, mean the shipyard cannot build much over 80 metres, but this is not seen as a drawback. The market for 90-metre plus superyachts is smaller and driven by a handful of yards like <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lurssen</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a>. Attempting to break into a new category would also risk impacting the yard’s margins: “We are content with our current facilities in Oss and have no plans for a second facility,” says Cavedish. “We are committed to optimising our operations and delivering exceptional yachts from our existing premises.”Although no longer a family company, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> retains a familiar design DNA and a strong brand identity. This may be one reason why it has avoided joining the trend for building catamaran and explorer yachts. Its XV67 concept, for example, began life as the Xventure, a 57-metre expedition yacht, but has been restyled as a bluewater voyager that will inspire owners to venture into new terrain in 7-star comfort.“The XV67 designed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/69" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Winch Design (Company)">Winch Design</a> is not a rugged explorer with a utilitarian look as we’ve come to expect from explorer yachts,” says Cavendish. “On the contrary, it’s a concept design that belongs to our Full Custom yacht proposition, and is a refined luxury yacht with exploring capabilities.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294879/image/large-f713b89adbd0ef6e231956b39a08b3cb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294879">It is well known that superyacht sales are hard-wired into the global economy. With an ongoing war in Europe, shifting inflation and widespread recession on the cards, the economic outlook is far from rosy and SYT iQ registered a drop in new motoryacht sales over 40 metres of about 40 per cent during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>’s CCO, however, is confident that the company is better prepared than most to weather these market fluctuations and is not unduly perturbed by the uncertainty.&nbsp;This article was originally published in Issue 3 of How To Build It, you can&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/magazine/how-to-build-it-issue-3" target="_blank">download the magazine for free here</a>.

For me my focus was on the enjoyment and adventure of being at sea, the opportunity to travel and the freedom to explore. I worked on sailing yachts in my 20’s, later managing charter yacht fleets, and those experiences taught me the skills that I have continuously utilised throughout my career as a broker.&nbsp;So many of the young brokers today have come directly from university or college and are attracted to the industry for the perception of luxury that it emits, but they are missing the deeper knowledge that can only be gained by spending time onboard. In my view, you have to go through the whole spectrum of life at sea; spending time with crew, understanding the complexities of life onboard, repairing and cleaning a vessel, working in a shipyard – it is this that gives you a depth of understanding and teaches you that yachting is a human industry.&nbsp;The most successful brokers have an intimate knowledge of the way a yacht operates, and understand the value and importance of the crew. When a yacht is sold, crew contracts are discussed, renegotiated or terminated and that can be a very significant moment when it comes to the future operations of the vessel. Brokers need to know how to communicate with crew in order to properly evaluate and respect their needs, because this makes the biggest difference to the happiness of a yacht owner in the long term. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/265036/image/large-5987e39369b02d2bbc936cbfcf1007e8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/265036">Congratulations for the closure of&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5732" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Here Comes The Sun89.0m (291'12&quot;)Amels2016">Here Comes the Sun</a>&nbsp;in only five months, marking another major milestone in your career. Can you share an insight into this sale?We closed this sale in only 49 days from the moment my client stepped onboard – that is quite extraordinary. Part of the motivation for such a quick negotiation is that there are very few yachts of that calibre available on the market at this time and the buyer understood that we didn’t have time to wait.&nbsp;It is also a milestone for my career, because I have been working with this client for 25 years and that is a relationship that began with me managing his 27-foot cigarette boat. I am extremely proud of the relationship I have built over the decades with that client, who understands the value of a loyal long term relationship with a broker.&nbsp;You have a reputation for retaining clients and working with owners for decades, what do you think is the key to building close relationships and delivering exceptional service?Long term clients are a key element for the success of all major brokers, particularly those operating in the 50-metre plus sector and generally we are aware of which broker represents which owners. Collaboration is a cornerstone of success and there is definitely an etiquette when it comes to superyacht brokerage; for example not approaching represented owners directly, but doing so through their broker.&nbsp;Healthy relationships and respect between brokers and brokerage houses is absolutely essential for the success of the industry because we want owners to come away from a deal feeling like they got the best deal, and that it was a smooth experience. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260705/image/large-8cb0f63902fad2db3f49c7b299e751c2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260705">You exhibited&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/865" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Carinthia VII97.2m (318'11&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2002">Carinthia VII</a>&nbsp;at the Monaco Yacht Show, unveiling her much anticipated refit. Can you share any insight into the exciting project you’ve been working on?<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/865" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Carinthia VII97.2m (318'11&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2002">Carinthia VII</a> truly offers something totally unique. The yacht has undergone a thoughtful and respectful refit at Lürssen, with a refreshed interior, redesigned decks and modernised mechanics and she has completed her 20 year class survey.I had the pleasure to sail with her from Marseille to Nice following her recent survey and she is without a doubt one of the most spectacular yachts I've ever been onboard. We built a great relationship with her crew, and this intense refit period has been a challenge for them but we have carefully supported them through the process of preparing the yacht for showmode.&nbsp;Her new owner has been ambitious with the work but has done a fantastic job and we were very excited to present the vessel to the charter market in September.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/284675/image/large-072657f5074243423c8eb1413962e1dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/284675">Despite some very good sales this year, there are indications of a market slowdown. How do you expect the coming show season to unfold - are you optimistic?I remember speaking with shipyards in 2021 and they couldn’t believe the strength of the market, because they had been expecting a serious slowdown. Since then it has continued to strengthen and while things might be flattening, I think this show season will be very enlightening in regards to the state of the industry, but the reality is we cannot exist in a permanent boom. We have had a very good few years, far better than predicted and if the market begins to settle it will still be a busy and prosperous industry.&nbsp;However, as an industry we have only scratched the surface of the potential of clients who could own a yacht. We touch a very small percentage of the people who can afford to own a yacht and that offers an opportunity to the industry even in a time of market slowdown.After 40 years in the industry, what do you see as the most important developments in the sector?Sustainability is the most important conversation that we are having today. I don't mean that with regards to the propulsion alone, I'm talking about the crew, the management, the construction, design – the entire life cycle and management of vessels. There has been a huge amount of wasted energy in the way yachts are built and run and there is a lot of progress being made, but I believe this will define the way the industry evolves over coming years – brokerage included.&nbsp;We are also seeing a new generation of owners, with a different perspective on yachting and a different way of using their yachts. Even in the last few years we have seen owners spending more time onboard, which has led to an increased focus on noise pollution, security and connectivity.&nbsp;I think we are at the beginning of the change towards a more sustainable future. Five years ago we heard nothing about sustainability, hydrogen or the individual developments that shipyards are making. This week alone we have seen L<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">ürssen</a>’s first superyacht Cosmos move to outfitting, the first vessel of her size to be fitted with fuel cells, and F<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">eadship</a> is making strides with its first hydrogen powered yacht. The change will be gradual but this will make the biggest change in our industry over the coming decades.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/284674/image/large-82a4c380520eec50119df50a28dfe7fe.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/284674">Do you have any final words of wisdom for younger brokers?I would say it all starts with experience but intuition and education is incredibly important. Learning in this industry never ends, and as innovation and technology is changing every day, yacht brokers need to keep up to speed with all the latest developments in order to offer their clients the best service and advice.&nbsp;I would also say that at the heart of the industry is the experience of yachting itself. There is a preoccupation with luxury in the sector today, but at its core, people buy yachts to enjoy the raw experience of yachting and an obsession with luxury will not help you build relationships. &nbsp;
