SUPERYACHT LIFE

Superyacht broker

Founded in 1975 by Nigel Burgess, renowned sailor and worldwide single-handed ocean racer, he created a company with an obsessive eye for detail that put clients first every time. Today, Burgess is a leading authority in the sale and purchase, new construction, charter and operational management of the world’s finest yachts over 30 metres.

From their original office in London in 1975, Burgess now spans the globe, with branches catering to clients in 14 major locations. The company has been involved with some of the most significant yachts ever built and Chief Executive Jonathan Beckett has led Burgess to its position as the world’s number one full-service superyacht company. In recognition of this, Burgess became the first yacht brokerage firm ever to receive the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise in 2001.

“’Luxury’ is often a term carelessly thrown around – it covers a whole host of things! However, ‘luxury’, when used in conjunction with the superyacht industry, can conjure up quite negative connotations. It doesn’t accurately portray an industry that supports the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people, world over. The end result of a new build is a masterpiece – a beautiful piece of engineering which expertly blends art with science and industry – meaning ‘luxury’ is simply the icing on the cake. I have been fortunate enough to work at the coalface of this industry for over 40 years, and I have seen the changes that have been made and I know we can make the ones being called for in the future. The Superyacht Life Foundation is a great platform encouraging collaboration, innovation, and evolution – only as a team can we work towards our collective goals of a fun, challenging work environment, correcting any misconceptions and, most importantly, a sustainable future. At Burgess, we are fully committed to raising the bar and working hard with industry colleagues to help educate society on our niche but exceptional world.” – Jonathan Beckett, CEO of Burgess

Burgess’ Next Generation of Brokers Delivering High Results

By Emily Dawkins

Leading international yacht broker, Burgess , has revealed an insight into its move to navigate the future by shining a light on some of its youngest brokers, who are already delivering high levels of results for some of the world’s most selective clients.

In a time where the UHNW generation is becoming younger every year, yacht brokerage firm Burgess has taken the opportunity to focus on its own next generation. 

According to figures from Forbes, there are currently around 109 billionaires under the age of 40: a remarkable number, and one that hints at the superyacht industry’s next generation of clientele. 

With a new wave of potential superyacht clients and yachting enthusiasts, the need for a complimentary team of brokers is now more significant than ever. 

In its latest announcement, Burgess showcased some of the ‘best and brightest’ blossoming young members of its team. 

Despite being young in age, the new generation of sales and charter brokers boast a wealth of expertise, and have subsequently overseen top results for the brokerage company, dealing with some of Burgess' most prestigious clients. Creating an excellent impression, the young team are now becoming the go-to experts for a collection of the world’s most highly-regarded superyacht owners and charterers. 

Making a name for themselves as the industry’s next wave of leading yacht brokers, Burgess’ six featured brokers include: Chris Gregory, Catherine Miller, Lotte Barker-Hahlo, Johnny Howe, Charles Jones and Christiana Nicolaou.

Burgess additionally provided an interesting insight into its target audience, which revealed that 65.4% of its target market make their wealth through self-made means, 24% through a combination of inheritance and self-made means and only 10.7% of its target audience making their wealth from inheritance. 

The international broker also highlighted that 81% of its target audience are male, and 19% female, with 38% of its audience located in North America. Other locations of its target audience include 29.6% Asia, 25.1% Europe and 3.1% Middle East.

To find out more about Burgess' next generation of brokers, get in touch with the team today. 

"We understand that the UHNW industry is on the cusp of a global change, and here to navigate that shift, is the team of the future." Burgess
