<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor Marinas</a>’ acquisition of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/681" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Marine (Company)">Monaco Marine</a> has marked a defining step in the group’s international expansion, positioning the US-based operator firmly within the Mediterranean – widely regarded as the epicentre of global yachting. Yet, as CEO Baxter Underwood makes clear, the transaction is less about geographic reach alone and more about aligning with the right people, culture and long-term philosophy.We sat down with Baxter and the team at Monaco Marine as they prepared to rebrand the Mediterranean eco-system under the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor</a> banner, to understand how this relationship has developed and to find out their plans for the future. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393753/image/large-6d9a79cfed5677ff0aef3b6de2780442.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393753">A people-led approach to expansion<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor</a>’s entry into the Mediterranean was not a rapid decision. Over a five-year period, the group evaluated multiple opportunities across the region before completing the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/681" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Marine (Company)">Monaco Marine</a> acquisition in 2025. The process ultimately reinforced a core principle underpinning its growth strategy: successful expansion begins with people rather than infrastructure.“The growth strategy of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor</a> has always been to evaluate teams in each geography, be that the Caribbean, Central America or in this case the Mediterranean. Monaco Marine stood out for us because they had a strong team and the cultural characteristics to be a platform for expansion in the Med,” explained Baxter.Rather than seeking to replicate its US operating model abroad, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor</a> prioritised identifying a team already demonstrating excellence within its market. Monaco Marine, with its network of nine facilities across the Mediterranean, offered not only scale but, more importantly, a deeply embedded culture shaped by founder Michel Ducros.Underwood highlights that it was this culture – defined by precision, consistency and a relentless pursuit of improvement – that distinguished <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/681" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Marine (Company)">Monaco Marine</a> from other opportunities. The company’s facilities, while quite significant, were secondary in importance to the strength of its human capital and operational ethos.Culture as the foundation of long-term valueAt the heart of the acquisition lies a recognition that cultural alignment is critical to long-term success. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/681" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Marine (Company)">Monaco Marine</a> operates with a distinct approach shaped by the nuances of the Mediterranean market, from client engagement to seasonal workflows and service delivery.“In the most important ways, the team and culture built by Michel was remarkably similar to our own. But they also did things differently than we did. Certain elements of their superyacht service model differed from how we operated in the US. We didn’t want to take our American mentality and force it on the European market, so we evaluated and embraced the positive differences, the ones that created value for the customers. This exchange of best practices has proven to be valuable. We’ve already begun implementing many of the learnings into our service model in the US.”&nbsp;Rather than viewing these differences as barriers, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor</a> viewed them as essential characteristics for succeeding in the region. The objective was not to impose uniformity, but to embrace and learn from a system already optimised for its environment.What ultimately aligned the two organisations was a shared commitment to excellence in a context of teamwork and desire to learn together. Underwood describes <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/681" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Marine (Company)">Monaco Marine</a>’s leadership as possessing an almost artistic attention to detail, supported by continuous investment in training, technology, and operational rigor that is always seeking client feedback. This alignment provides the foundation upon which mutually accretive integration is achievable.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393751/image/large-d14364d694d27fa3dccb17b0342b2431.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393751">Retaining expertise and expanding influenceWith culture identified as the cornerstone of value, retaining Monaco Marine’s team became an immediate strategic priority. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor</a> worked closely with the existing management team throughout the transition to ensure continuity, leveraging his longstanding relationships across the organisation.The result has been significant team retention – a critical outcome in preserving both operational consistency and client trust. “The nine assets and locations are wonderful, but the technical capability and commitment of the team was the heart of the acquisition,” explains Baxter.&nbsp;Rather than operating independently, the team is now positioned to play an influential role within <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor</a>’s wider network. Their expertise is informing operational improvements across the group’s US and Caribbean locations, including with sustainability initiatives like <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/681" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Marine (Company)">Monaco Marine</a>’s innovative approach to waste water management.This shift reflects <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor</a>’s broader philosophy: growth is not achieved by centralising knowledge alone, but by distributing it across its broad network and encouraging regional leaders to shape its global operations.Establishing a European cornerstoneThe acquisition firmly establishes Monaco Marine as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor</a>’s flagship platform in Europe. Beyond its physical presence, it provides the local insight necessary to guide further expansion across the region.The Mediterranean’s position as the world’s most significant yachting market makes this foothold particularly strategic. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/681" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Marine (Company)">Monaco Marine</a>’s team now plays a central role in identifying and evaluating future acquisition targets, ensuring that expansion is informed by regional expertise rather than external assumptions.This approach reveals one of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor</a>’s core strategies – one that values diverse knowledge as a driver of innovative growth.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393752/image/large-b3feb1138e2178b590c702495932782f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393752">Creating a seamless transatlantic networkA key objective of the integration is to deliver a unified service experience across both sides of the Atlantic. Even prior to the acquisition, approximately 37 percent of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor</a>’s US-based superyacht clients were already utilising <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/681" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Marine (Company)">Monaco Marine</a> facilities during Mediterranean operations. That figure has since increased, reflecting stronger alignment between the two networks.The focus has now moved to ensuring continuity. This extends beyond technical capabilities and refit standards to encompass communication, processes and the overall client experience. Owners, captains and crews will encounter the same level of service and operational consistency across the entire network.Monaco Marine’s active engagement with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor</a>’s other operations has been instrumental in this process, with cross-regional collaboration shaping a more cohesive global offering.Enabling greater transatlantic mobilityBy connecting two of the industry’s most active cruising regions, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor</a> is positioned to facilitate more fluid vessel movement between the United States and the Mediterranean. The company believes that this is a good thing for the yachting community.This enhanced connectivity is expected to increase operational efficiency while encouraging more frequent transatlantic cruising among US-based clients. Central to this ambition is the assurance of reliable, high-quality support throughout a vessel’s journey.In this sense, the acquisition aligns with a broader industry dynamic: as yachts operate across increasingly global itineraries, service networks evolve to match their mobility.Balancing identity and integrationOne of the more visible outcomes of the acquisition is the planned rebranding of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/681" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Marine (Company)">Monaco Marine</a> under the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor</a> name. While strategically aligned with the creation of a unified global identity, the decision was not made quickly.“This was not an easy decision and something that took both collaboration and support from the team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/681" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Marine (Company)">Monaco Marine</a>” adds Baxter. “Our goal is to achieve a sense of oneness for owners, captains, builders, OEMs, so that they can expect the same level of service excellence at every <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor</a> facility.”&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/681" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Marine (Company)">Monaco Marine</a>’s brand carries significant heritage within the Mediterranean, and preserving the qualities that underpin that reputation is a priority. For clients, changes will initially be most apparent through branding, signage and on-site identity. However, the overarching aim is for the experience itself to constantly innovate and evolve in favor of the customers.Raising the standard across the industryBeyond its immediate operational impact, the acquisition reflects a broader ambition within <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7074" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Safe Harbor Marinas (Company)">Safe Harbor</a>’s strategy. The goal is not solely to expand its own footprint, but to elevate standards across the yachting ecosystem.By connecting regions, sharing expertise and refining service delivery, the group seeks to enhance the experience for owners, captains, crew and industry stakeholders alike.In this context, the integration of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/681" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Marine (Company)">Monaco Marine</a> represents more than a geographical expansion. It signals a move towards a more connected, consistent and collaborative global yachting landscape – one in which excellence is defined not by location, but by a shared commitment to quality.

Constructed with an aluminium hull and superstructure, she features a beam of 8.89-metres and a draft of 2.33-metres.

This philosophy is most evident within her main saloon, where floor-to-ceiling windows and an open-plan arrangement place the sea at the centre of the onboard experience.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397170/image/large-e99cd323156182c88f6b2afeba609cb3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397170"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397172/image/large-6e383fb85357aabdfd4ca3322b4ee657.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397172">Moreover, her interiors embrace a calm and contemporary approach, featuring a neutral palette intended to complement, rather than compete with, the surrounding scenery.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397171/image/large-62a5e66c76c69c3b4b42d76f20dd4f28.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397171">Moving outside, the cockpit’s raised seating descends towards the aft swim platform, creating a seamless connection to the water. This sense of space is further enhanced by drop-down side wings that broaden the deck. Meanwhile, a generous foredeck lounge forward with additional seating offers the perfect setting for relaxation, with a discreet sunpad crowning the superstructure above.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397168/image/large-af3b54bffc69a8db8cf37d5eb373d44d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397168" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">"The objective was not to maximize gross tonnage, but to maximize the owner's experience of the sea," commented <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/58" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luca Dini Design & Architecture (Company)">Luca Dini</a>.
