Increasing demand, tighter regulation and fast-paced technical innovation have combined to make super yachts a highly active and complex legal market. Quoted as “synonymous with entrepreneurialism”, at Clyde & Co we lead the field in this market, servicing the legal needs of the yacht industry.
Our expertise in this sector includes:
- Construction projects
- Sale and purchase transactions
- Yacht finance
- Owning and operating
- Marine casualty and insurance
- Yacht litigation
- Crewing and management
Clients hail from every corner of the industry; they are owners, operators, charterers, insurers, every major superyacht financing institution, shipyards, designers and brokers.
Examples of recent work include advising on the building and sale of ‘M/Y TRIPLE SEVEN’, advising the Royal Bank of Scotland on several of their recent superyacht financings and advising owners who are currently building yachts at Benetti, CMN, CRN, Oceanco, Perini Navi, Proteksan-Turquoise, Viareggio Superyachts, Baglietto, TKMS-Nobiskrug, just to name a few.
We are actively involved in a large number of superyacht transactions with values of anything between US$5 million and more than US$100 million.
