Celebrating Three Sensational Years of Christie Yachts

By Frances Flannagan

Over the last three years, Christie Yachts has made itself a significant name within the brokerage market as a company renowned for its bespoke yet highly successful nature. It specialises in off-market sales, and intends to grow organically to retain its valued client relationships.

Since its inception in 2021, Christie Yachts has seen a plethora of notable highlights, facilitated by its brilliant and dynamic team that have enabled the brokerage to surpass expectations. Prior to even an office or a website, the company sold two boats off-market, proving its extensive network and trusted industry relationships. 

Christie Yachts has sourced a total of three boats that were not publicly for sale or for sale at all, highlighting the wide acknowledgement that the company will provide unparalleled opportunities whilst working discreetly. Four Owners have also contracted Christie Yachts in the last three months to sell their vessels discreetly and off-market, an option which often achieves the best price, with one already under offer. 

Heesen’s 50m ERICA was sold in this specialist field of off-market, emphasising the company’s capabilities to open the right doors for clients. 

One such client commented: ‘Christie Yachts hunted down two completely off-market yachts and I ended up buying one of them. Will really fought hard and represented my interests extremely well. My lawyer from a very renowned law firm specialising in yacht transactions, did tell me from the outset that “Will is the best yacht broker.” I must agree.’

Brokerage highlights include the sale of Lürssen’s 95m KISMET for €149 million, where Christie Yachts acted for the buyer. 

The buyer commented: ‘I’ve known Will and his team for many years. They are honest, direct, knowledgeable and most importantly incredibly creative to work with. I recommend them without limitation.’

Christie Yachts’ ethos is ‘It’s all about the people.’ This principle guides the future growth of the company, in which each and every member of the team will add significant value and share the same business ethics and approach. The brokerage is currently in discussions with some experienced yacht charter managers, with Charter Management being an area that it will soon enter, alongside yacht brokers and yacht charter retail brokers. 

The company intends to grow organically, with only the very best of people joining its committed and passionate team. A range of suppliers support Christie Yachts across all areas of business, resulting in close working relationships that ensure the smooth running of the brokerage. 

One of the many advantages of being a small team is that Christie Yachts’ Founder Will Christie is able to be personally involved in each and every deal, creating a bespoke experience that clients greatly value and benefit from. The excellent service provided by Christie Yachts guarantees its future success, as we can expect great things from the company in the coming years as it positions itself as a notable name within the industry.
