Throughout his career, Adam has advised clients on significant yacht transactions, new build projects and refits, building long-standing client relationships and helping drive the commercial success of some of the industry's most respected brands. Widely respected for his discretion, strategic insight and meticulous execution, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> reflects his belief that exceptional client outcomes are achieved through independent advice and deep market understanding.Joining him as Founding Executive and CCO is Kurt Fraser, a strategist, creative leader and international business executive whose career spans more than 25 years across the superyacht, luxury lifestyle, resort development and marina sectors. Throughout his career, Kurt has driven business transformation and contributed to the growth and commercial success of a number of leading yachting brands. He believes <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a>'s performance-driven model is uniquely aligned with the expectations of both established yacht clients and a new generation of owners seeking greater transparency, responsiveness and long-term value.While the launch of independent brokerage houses is not uncommon within the superyacht sector, the pairing of Adam and Kurt brings together two distinctly complementary areas of expertise. Combining deep brokerage experience with proven strategic, creative and commercial leadership, the duo have built a business founded on both reputation and capability.Their partnership reflects a broader shift within the industry, where clients increasingly seek the agility, transparency and personalised approach often associated with boutique brokerage houses, without sacrificing the expertise and international reach traditionally offered by larger organisations. In this respect, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> blends established industry knowledge with a more modern, insightful and adaptable approach to yacht brokerage.A strategic advisory approachAccording to the Founding team, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> has been established in response to increasing fragmentation across the yachting experience, with clients often relying on multiple service providers and disconnected sources of information, or larger organisations whose structures can inhibit a truly performance-driven approach.Rather than concentrating solely on transactional brokerage activity, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> will work closely with clients to develop personalised yachting strategies that reflect their lifestyle objectives and long-term aspirations.

"However, clients today require more than access and execution. Better insight and better intelligence leads to better decisions and better experiences. This is the role <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> intends to fill as trusted partners to our clients.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a>’s approach combines traditional brokerage expertise with strategic advisory and a deeper understanding of the factors that influence successful outcomes. The Founders believe that clients increasingly benefit from objective guidance, greater market visibility and a more integrated approach to decision-making. By bringing these elements together, the company aims to support clients across the full spectrum of yachting activities, from charter and acquisition through to ownership, management and eventual disposition.

This included spot hull repairs, rudder works, full antifouling treatment and a fresh pastel blue finish applied below the waterline. Elsewhere, the mast deck was refinished, while routine inspections and maintenance were carried out across the yacht's technical and electrical systems.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396665/image/large-44630482bb229c90ed56421e588a457a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396665">Designed inside and out by the late Dutch designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/45" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pieter Beeldsnijder Design (Company)">Pieter Beeldsnijder</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4911" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Belle de Jour29.26m (95'12&quot;)Flevo Ship Holland2013">Belle de Jour</a> is distinguished by her robust profile, high freeboard and clean, purposeful lines.
