We founded Yomira, literally meaning ‘Your Ocean’, to offer you more than simply chartering a beautiful yacht with a supremely capable crew.

Through Yomira, your entire superyacht experience is at the very centre of how we operate. Between us we have been immersed in superyacht brokerage for over half a century, which has given us the knowledge and expert connections to offer an unrivalled service; it has also convinced us of our responsibility for the stewardship of our world and our oceans.

We give you exclusive access to incredible itineraries on superyachts across the globe and off-the-beaten-path ocean adventures, designed uniquely for you by people who genuinely care.

So, for all families and friends, pioneers, explorers and culturally curious travellers, in search of the extraordinary, get in touch – your superyacht and ocean are waiting.

I first caught the yachting bug in my late teens when I raced as crew at the Swan World Regatta in Sardinia, armed just with a book of nautical terms and a taste for adventure.

By the time I eventually returned home, I had worked my way from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean and Australia on a range of amazing yachts.  That was it, I was hooked and fell in love with the extraordinary freedom and excitement of yachting.

I began my professional yachting career ashore as a broker in 1989 before going on to build the international charter teams at Camper & Nicholsons, Edmiston and Burgess, some of the prime players of the industry.

Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to witness the luxury superyacht world grow from a niche pursuit to the global powerhouse it is today.  Through Yomira, I am passionate about raising the bar, together with Amanda by providing exceptional personal service, a peerless selection of the best superyachts, and truly transformative experiences.  Always keeping to our mantra to create meaningful and trusted relationships with clients who love life on the ocean as much as we do.

What is not to love about superyachts?  For the past 23 years, I have been immersed in yachts, learning from scratch everything that is superyachting.

I am part of the international MYBA Charter Committee,  ensuring I am on top of the latest relevant maritime rules and regulations, take part in regular worldwide industry events.

We launched Yomira to deliver exceptional service, to share our vast knowledge bank of yachts and years of experience with clients to provide a hands-on, insightful and bespoke approach, backed with our expertise.

We take our clients on a consultative journey, to genuinely find out what their motivations are for a holiday, what makes them tick when they are in ‘relax’ mode, where they might like to explore or what the kids might like to learn about the ocean, to bring more colour to what is possible on the yachts.   There is nothing more satisfying when a client calls us up after a charter and simply says, ‘thank you, you got that spot on.’

We would love to chat further, to design and deliver the ultimate superyacht experience, specifically for you.

Your time is precious. At Yomira, we make sure it isn’t wasted. At the start of our relationship, our priority is to ensure we fully understand your needs and desires so we can suggest the perfect yacht, crew and itinerary to meet them. Every Yomira charter is curated just for you in collaboration with the crew and our network of hand-picked service providers around the world. 

The great joy of yachting is, of course, spontaneity. Every Yomira itinerary, developed from years of knowing what our clients love the most about their time at sea, gives you the freedom to live in the moment. We hope you will find inspiration in our website – a taster of what can be achieved during your time on board.

As well as tailor-making the perfect itinerary, we ensure that we find you the yacht best suited to it. Although we have full access to the entire global fleet of over 2000 superyachts, we only cherry-pick the finest for our collection and deploy cutting-edge tech to track them 24/7 around the world – ensuring that every aspect of the charter is delivered with proper, personal-touch service that keeps you coming back.

We are proud members of MYBA, the Worldwide Yachting Association and IYBA the International Yacht Brokers Association – internationally renowned professional organisations that empower its members to achieve the highest ethical and technical standards, and ensure we are always up to date with international regulations.

The Detail

Most charters we arrange are booked under the MYBA Charter Agreement, the industry’s most respected and widely used contract. A 50% deposit is usually required to secure your yacht, with the balance of hire together with an advance to cover all operating expenses (known as the APA), tax and any delivery charges payable up to five weeks before boarding. Charters taking place within the UK and EU are subject to VAT; other local taxes may apply elsewhere. We also offer a number of ‘all-inclusive’ charter packages, which we’ll be happy to discuss with you. Cancellation and Charterer’s Liability insurance can be arranged for extra peace of mind.

Charters during the high season (July/August, Christmas/New Year & Festivals, such as the Monaco Grand Prix & Cannes Film Festival) normally attract a higher rate than low season periods.

To enrich your charter experience and travel planning, we often draw on the services of carefully curated shore-side partners. We will notify you in advance of any additional costs these might entail, and will always negotiate the most favourable terms for you wherever possible.

We will help talk you through all of the detail so that there are no hidden surprises. Full terms and conditions are always available from your Yomira team.

Your Ocean

On the ocean, we see first-hand the effects of human activity on the environment. Yomira makes it possible to reduce the carbon footprint from your cruising and contribute to eco and sustainability-driven initiatives. We can offset carbon emissions from your fuel consumption; connect you to ocean-preservation projects in parts of the world where you are cruising; and even provide inspirational conservation specialists and marine biologists to come on board to help you learn more about the ocean.
