SuperYacht Times sat down with Harrison to discuss his journey into the yachting industry, the challenges of launching a new brokerage firm, how <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8024" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maddox Yachts (Company)">Maddox</a> secured the Central Agency (CA) for the 91.4-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/250" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Neorion (Company)">Neorion</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/271" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonlight II91.4m (299'10&quot;)Neorion2005">Moonlight II</a> and what lies ahead for the company.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353619/image/large-4f81e53d458e8bf7376e6ab88b49a14c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353619">How did you begin your career in the superyacht industry?I started my career with an asset management company focused on managing physical assets for multi-family offices. While many multi-family offices specialise in financial management, our emphasis was initially on yachts, before broadening into art collections, real estate developments and private jets. My first significant superyacht project involved overseeing the construction of a 90 metre new-build yacht, an experience that provided essential hands-on insight into the build process.Over time, the company expanded, ultimately managing around 35 active clients, supported by a network of specialist contractors and advisors across various asset categories. After selling the business in 2018, we retained several highly transactional clients and established <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8024" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maddox Yachts (Company)">Maddox</a> in 2020, strategically deciding to concentrate primarily on superyachts. We have been involved in the purchase of two new-build yachts exceeding 50 metres, as well as three used yachts over 40-metres.Initially, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8024" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maddox Yachts (Company)">Maddox</a> operated discreetly, prioritising internal growth without branding or a public presence for the first two-and-a-half years. Early last year, we entered the yacht brokerage market, a sector significantly different from art, where personal relationships typically outweigh brand reputation. Yacht brokerage, however, is predominantly brand-driven and structured around established reputations. Recognising this, we positioned <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8024" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maddox Yachts (Company)">Maddox</a> to leverage our extensive asset management expertise, offering a specialised, niche service within the brokerage sector.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353628/image/large-122945eee20efe35d98ee7d8bf3a8107.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353628">What were the primary challenges you encountered when establishing <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8024" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maddox Yachts (Company)">Maddox</a> and how do you differentiate the firm from your competitors?The key challenge was recognising that you cannot directly compete with major brokerage houses such as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/124" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Edmiston (Company)">Edmiston</a> or <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/159" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Burgess (Company)">Burgess</a>, which are exceptionally established and influential. Rather than competing directly, we leveraged our background in asset management to offer a distinctly personalised service.For instance, yacht owners considering a sale often initially think of approaching a major brokerage. However, if they prefer a more tailored approach - such as daily, direct interactions to closely manage the sales process - <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8024" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maddox Yachts (Company)">Maddox</a> can offer exactly that.Many yacht owners prioritise discretion and may prefer to avoid extensive marketing, mass email campaigns, or public exposure. Their yacht is a private asset and certain elements, like specific details or particular photography, should remain confidential. At <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8024" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maddox Yachts (Company)">Maddox</a>, we carefully consider each client's individual preferences, making precise and targeted approaches to suitable buyers to maintain discretion and effectiveness throughout the sale process.Currently, we're assisting a buyer seeking a very particular yacht - either a new-build or one recently delivered from the shipyard. Clients like these typically appreciate working consistently with one dedicated point of contact, someone who manages their interests daily, arranges shipyard visits and guides them through the complexities of yacht acquisition.Moving from a 30 or 40-metre yacht to an 80 or 90-metre vessel can feel daunting, even for experienced owners. Our role is not just to clearly identify and meet their specific requirements but also to educate them thoroughly about the nuances of larger yacht ownership. To build confidence and understanding, our team includes former captains and chief engineers, allowing clients to comfortably raise any questions and approach their purchase fully informed and supported.When sourcing yachts, we are deliberately selective, often turning down unsuitable options. We present carefully vetted choices that precisely match each client's criteria. Thorough inspections are conducted by experienced former chief engineers, ensuring transparency and unbiased guidance rather than pushing clients toward quick decisions.While we respect and collaborate with larger brokerage houses and recognise there's much to learn from their operations, we strongly believe in our personalised model. Rather than adopting disruptive technologies or relying on mass-market online listings, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8024" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maddox Yachts (Company)">Maddox</a> applies the discreet, bespoke nature of a private family office to yacht brokerage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/319279/image/large-6f4fd1dc0ef8732a33a995661004b77c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/319279">How did you secure the central agency agreement for&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/271" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonlight II91.4m (299'10&quot;)Neorion2005">Moonlight II</a>?We were initially introduced to the owner’s representative of Moonlight II through a previous client. After this introduction, we invested considerable time in understanding their previous brokerage experiences, the challenges they had faced and their specific expectations. While there is no secret formula beyond the methods employed by established brokerage firms, our focus was on delivering a carefully tailored approach. We developed a targeted marketing strategy, prioritising clear, transparent and realistic communication throughout.We outlined a clear plan, identifying five specific individuals whom we planned to approach directly and requested the CA to manage both marketing activities and onboard matters, particularly addressing the client's privacy concerns. Fortunately, we secured the CA.Since then, we've maintained regular communication with the owner’s representative, typically providing detailed updates every other day. From our experience, consistent and transparent communication places owners in a stronger position to make informed decisions, especially during difficult conversations, such as discussions around price reductions. When clients are continually updated about market conditions, feedback from potential buyers and any obstacles encountered, these conversations become clearer and more constructive.Delivering difficult news honestly - whether in yacht brokerage, property or art - is never easy. Informing clients their assets may not meet their expected valuation involves significant sensitivity. Although honesty carries a risk of losing clients in the short term, our experience demonstrates that transparency ultimately builds trust, with clients often returning later, appreciating our forthright approach.Our aim is always long-term engagement. Even if a yacht doesn't sell immediately or at the expected price, our clients fully understand the reasons behind this. We believe that clear, honest communication about market realities, even when difficult, is essential. This transparency has been key to building lasting relationships and repeat business.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/270262/image/large-9ec5e6947b5b187a32ed445af5d875cf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/270262">Among all the superyachts currently in operation, which one stands out as your favourite, and why?I’d have to say the 119-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Blohm & Voss GmbH (Company)">Blohm &amp; Voss</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="A 119.0m (390'5&quot;)Blohm & Voss GmbH2008">A</a> remains my favourite. I have a personal affinity with the yacht, but beyond that, its distinctiveness sets it apart. While I could easily name 30 or 40 yachts I admire, A is uniquely iconic and was ahead of its time, particularly in its approach to single-level, flowing spaces.Her design contrasts notably with the trend towards multiple decks; while it became common to see yachts with four or five decks, A was forward-thinking in its concept of fewer decks and greater openness. I believe this approach to single-level, flowing spaces is becoming increasingly desirable among yacht owners today. The superyacht’s striking and iconic design is truly timeless.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/32335/image/large-78c8fbeca970e3df0878cc32e984ca27.JPG" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/32335">Are there any upcoming plans or developments you'd like to share with us?Our immediate priority is deepening our engagement within the industry. Given our asset management roots, we're focused on spending more time building relationships with shipyards and previous clients - not just in terms of acquisitions or sales but also to strengthen long-term connections.Over the next six months, we plan to significantly expand our presence in Dubai. We currently have a small office there, but aim to grow sustainably, recognising the considerable wealth and opportunities in the region. We're carefully expanding our team, prioritising individuals who understand that brokerage requires long-term commitment and patience.In addition to our Dubai expansion, we also plan further growth in our London office within the next year. We currently have an advisor based in Monaco and may explore further opportunities there. We're also closely monitoring emerging market trends, particularly given the current global uncertainties. The US West Coast, in particular, represents intriguing potential due to its relatively untapped market.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/338865/image/large-ae13d0771410fbeb98b9fa57406d3803.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/338865">

Superyacht Queen Miri in Keppel Bay

Recently extended during a major refit lasting over 18 months, the 91.5 metre Queen Miri we see on the water today is vastly different than the 85-metre superyacht Delma as which she entered the refit shed in Genoa, Italy last year. Built in 2004 by Greek shipbuilder Neorion, life for the yacht started out as the Annalise, and was renamed, Delma, in 2007 after being sold to a new owner. Today, Queen Miri is finished with a range of new features including a new exterior profile, re-styled by the hand of Dutch studio, Bernd Weel Design. A new 16-metre hull section was replaced and now accommodates a floodable garage at her stern area as well as two new MTU M93L engines. Her interior is said to have undergone drastic changes as well, and was redesigned by the Italian Design company, Studio Massari. After a busy summer's cruising season, Queen Miri has headed east and is seen here in the Keppel Bay Marina, Singapore.

Superyacht Moonlight II in Nice, France

Measuring 85 metres at the time of her launch in 2005, superyacht Moonlight II recently underwent a major extension procedure that increased her total length to 91.4 metres. She was built as superyacht Alysia at the Neorion shipyard in Greece as a set of of two sisterships, the other one being Delma (now Queen Miri), with charter in mind. Built to SOLAS passenger vessel specifications, she has a range of over 7,000 nautical miles. The Greek built yacht was sold to her current owners in 2010. Her sister ship, the former superyacht Delma, has also recently completed an extension at the Amico &amp; Co shipyard in Italy. Read more about that project <a href="http://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/amico-co-completes-extension-on-former-superyacht-delma/" target="_blank">here</a>.

Superyacht Moonlight II in Nice

Following last week’s <a href="http://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/amico-co-completes-extension-on-former-superyacht-delma/" target="_blank">report </a>of the extension completed on the former 85 metre superyacht Delma in Italy, comes news of her sister ship, Moonlight II also having undergone a lengthening procedure. The once 85 metre Moonlight II now measures 91.4 metres, with a redeveloped stern that will make telling these two yachts apart, a touch easier. The project took place in Piraeus, Greece.

	Moonlight II was built as superyacht Alysia in 2005, by Neorion in Elefsis, Greece. Built to SOLAS passenger vessel specification with charter use in mind, she has a range of over 7,000 nautical miles.

	Her sister ship, the former superyacht Delma, has also recently completed an extension at the Amico &amp; Co shipyard in Italy, where she is being outfitted. Read more about that project <a href="http://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/amico-co-completes-extension-on-former-superyacht-delma/" target="_blank">here</a>.

The two projects do not seem to be related however, despite sharing the same original construction shipyard.
