Additionally, could you provide some insights into your background and journey?I have sailed my entire life, starting around the age of two in Bembridge on the Isle of Wight, then sailing alongside my brother on various sailboats, including Hobie Cats, 420s and Lasers.I was initially destined for a career in the British Army having been awarded a top scholarship in my intake to Sandhurst. Unfortunately, my rugby career was also running parallel to this and I had to have eight knee operations which resulted in a medical discharge from military service. The obvious next move was to go into banking, something my family has been involved with since the 1650s. That said it was 2010 and the recession was still hitting the banking sector hard, and it look thoroughly unappealing! &nbsp;Through a rather tenuous link a potential job opening was presented to me at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/124" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Edmiston (Company)">Edmiston</a>. With my childhood love of sailing, I thought that the yachting industry could be an interesting path so I applied and underwent a rigorous interview process, competing with 63 or so other applicants for a single position. I ended up being selected as Chris Cecil-Wright’s junior, starting out in the listings department. Shortly after accepting the role, I relocated to Monaco and that marked the beginning of my career at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/124" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Edmiston (Company)">Edmiston</a>.&nbsp;Eventually, Chris and I decided to leave and establish <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2989" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cecil Wright (Company)">Cecil Wright &amp; Partners</a>, officially opening the business on 4th June 2013. The idea of working within a smaller, tightly knit team had always appealed to me. Having Chris, one of the prolific yacht brokers in the world, as my mentor was instrumental in my development, I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have had that opportunity.Interestingly, if you had asked me during my university days what I envisioned for my post-army career, becoming a yacht broker would never have crossed my mind. The yachting industry seemed like a distant and exclusive world that I never considered.Yacht brokers typically come from backgrounds which are already in some way affiliated with yachting; sons of other brokers, captains who go land based and, on occasion, transitions from associated fields such as yachting journalism. Bringing a fresh perspective and new insight to the industry has been quite intriguing. It is worth highlighting that banking and finance, my familial background, is known for its forward-thinking approach and use of innovative technologies, which stood in stark contrast to the antiquated practices I found in the yachting sector.Reflecting on the impact we have made on the industry, particularly in terms of innovations like 3D scanning, we introduced this technology back in 2015, I would like to think that we have brought the industry a pace or two forward. Surprisingly, many have not adopted it, which I find fairly astonishing. We have successfully sold several yachts without the need for potential buyers to physically visit them. For instance, I facilitated the sales of the 62-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/186" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Prediction62.0m (203'5&quot;)Feadship2005">Prediction</a> (previously called New Hampshire) during Covid, the 56.50-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/280" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ambition56.5m (185'4&quot;)Feadship2001">Ambition</a> (previously called Hampshire I) and the 22.34-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/166" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wally (Company)">Wally</a> motor yacht Jabberwocky, the latter to a gentleman in California who had never set foot in Europe. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/88486/image/large-59f1f461708afcb79da38f374df77461.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/88486">Could you delve deeper into the client approach and business ethos at the firm?At <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2989" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cecil Wright (Company)">Cecil Wright &amp; Partners</a>, we maintain the principle of 'fewer clients serviced better' as a core aspect of our brokerage philosophy. This approach has played a crucial role in shaping our interactions with clients and building enduring relationships in the industry. When Chris and I founded our company, we deeply analysed the market to determine which segments of the industry offered the most potential for success. We focused on identifying what sells quickly, retains value, and the type of clientele associated with very large pedigree vessels. Our findings pointed out that the large pedigree vessel segment is not only secure and more liquid but the people who owned them were less susceptible to market fluctuations.&nbsp;Our goal is not to sell a multitude of yachts to a vast number of clients but to ensure that we offer the right yacht to the right client from the outset. This requires us to prioritise our clients' interests over short-term gains. We do not engage in practices that might encourage clients to overpay or provide them with inaccurate information about a yacht's value. In the world of yacht brokerage, it is an interesting paradox, doing better for our clients often means making less on a deal.We firmly believe that the long-term benefits of fostering trust and credibility with our clients far outweigh any short-term financial gains. Our business thrives on referrals and networks, and we understand that by consistently acting in the best interests of our clients, they are more likely to introduce us to their peers.One distinctive aspect of our approach is our collaborative nature. Unlike many other companies where a single broker is exclusively responsible for a client and their yacht, we encourage internal collaboration within the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2989" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cecil Wright (Company)">CWP</a> team. We leverage the expertise of various team members to provide the best possible service. For example, in the sale of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4095" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Whisper95.2m (312'4&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2014">Whisper</a>, there were three of us working on it: myself, Chris, and Henry Goulding. And we're not ashamed or abashed by that. And I think the quite interesting thing is whilst we are a boutique company, as a client you get more broker attention than you do at larger outfits. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/275534/image/large-79daee2d3ed2fd80e22941eff4eb2868.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/275534">Why does&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2989" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cecil Wright (Company)">Cecil Wright &amp; Partners</a>&nbsp;tend to choose yachts with a northern European pedigree as their brokerage's focus? What specific qualities or attributes of these yachts appeal to you and your clients? Choosing yachts with a Northern European pedigree as our brokerage's focus has been a strategic decision driven by several key factors. What you tend to find is that, by and large, the consistency of quality produced by these Northern European yards is more reliable. However, it's essential to note that, like any business, some yards may cut corners to maximise profits especially if not overseen by an independent build manager.&nbsp;They tend to retain their value better over time because they are generally built to a higher standard. When it comes to warranty work, these yachts typically require very minimal repairs, and most issues can be addressed in the field.For instance, if a yacht, such as a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>, undergoes maintenance at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/97" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MB92 Barcelona (Company)">MB92</a> in Barcelona, you'll notice that the need for extensive repairs is rare. Comparatively, some other brands have been known to experience delays and extensive post-delivery work. This raises concerns about getting what you are paying for.Our sales data reflects this, with an average of just four months on the market for yachts in our portfolio, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadships</a> often selling within three months of listing. These numbers speak to the quality and market appeal of these vessels. We recently sold the 95.2-metre&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4095" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Whisper95.2m (312'4&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2014">Whisper</a>, in just three months, even with a two-month wait for viewings due to its high demand for charter.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/275531/image/large-265b3c9589f66c3eaa9a18ea090d0bb3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/275531">As someone with extensive international experience, what are some key trends or changes you have observed in the yachting industry in the past six months, and how do you see it evolving in the future? When it comes to trends in the yachting industry, it's important to understand that changes often unfold gradually. One noteworthy trend we're currently witnessing is the rising interest in explorer yachts. This trend encompasses both chartering and ownership, with many clients seeking out more adventurous destinations.Furthermore, regulatory factors are exerting a significant influence. For instance, in the South of France and Corsica, issues like seagrass and the associated anchoring restrictions are driving people to explore different locations. Spain, on the other hand, presents an interesting scenario due to its stringent VAT policies. Chartering in Spain now entails a 45% VAT for non-EU flagged vessels. However, there are creative ways to navigate these challenges. With the growing awareness of environmental sustainability, how does <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2989" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cecil Wright (Company)">Cecil Wright and Partners</a> navigate this shift, and what unique advantages do sailing yachts offer in terms of eco-friendliness?In the context of environmental sustainability, the perception that sailing yachts are more environmentally friendly than motor yachts while underway is true, but when a sailing yacht is at anchor and using a generator, the environmental advantage diminishes. Additionally, it is a complex issue because, in terms of construction, the environmental impact of sailing yachts and motor yachts of the same tonnage is not significantly different either.&nbsp;We acknowledge the importance of green credentials. Carbon offsetting is a concept we support and promote. Personally, I believe it should be a standard practice in the industry, especially concerning charters.Carbon offsetting can be introduced as an opt-out option rather than opt-in. When presented with an opt-in option, most people tend not to choose it, whereas with an opt-out option, fewer opt-out. For instance, if you include a special condition in a charter contract, stating that carbon offsetting is applied, with the option to opt-out, you would be surprised how many clients choose to offset. The cost of offsetting a charter is relatively small, considering the overall value of the charter.Finally, personally, if you could invest in a yacht, what would you choose and why?I am a sailor at heart, so I would go for a sailing yacht. The optimal yacht I have been on in terms of design and performance is the 57.50-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman (Company)">Royal Huisman</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/796" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Twizzle57.5m (188'8&quot;)Royal Huisman2010">Twizzle</a>.
