What TWW Yachts does

TWW Yachts is a privately held, Monaco-headquartered luxury superyacht brokerage and management firm operating across the full yacht ownership lifecycle. The company runs dedicated sales, charter, and new build teams in three European offices — Monaco (headquarters), London (with multiple Fulham, Kent, and Rudgwick addresses for retail, yacht management, and charter management), and Istanbul — and serves ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) seeking to buy, sell, charter, build, and operate superyachts globally. Documented transactions include pre-owned sales such as AFTER YOU (55m, ~€32.5M), FORTUNA (47.5m, ~€23M), EMERALD (50.4m, ~€21M), and SALLYNA (48m, ~€19.95M), plus a 72m TANKOA T720 FENICE new-build contract scheduled for 2030 delivery. Charter rates across the fleet range from approximately €15,000 to €800,000+ per week, with the company acting as central or co-charter agent.

The service portfolio spans yacht sales brokerage, private charter placement, yacht management, charter management, new build/construction project management, and crew placement, supplemented by retail lines in superyacht tenders, berths, and watertoys. The principal technology asset is a cloud-based yacht management platform that gives owners direct access to crew, legal, and financial workflows, with a Jersey protected-cell structure supporting crew employment, payroll, and MLC-compliant training. The firm is a member of the Mediterranean Yacht Broker Association (MYBA) and maintains named relationships with leading European shipyards (Benetti, Sanlorenzo, Feadship, Damen Yachting, Tankoa, Princess, Amels, Sunreef) and designers (Espen Oeino, Nuvolari Lenard, Sinot, RWD, Tim Heywood).

TWW makes money primarily through transaction-based commissions on sales and charters, supplemented by recurring management fees, professional services fees for new build project management and crew placement, and product sales. The business is relationship-driven, with a small senior broker roster (including Managing Director David Westwood and Director Michael White) supported by yacht managers, charter brokers, and crew managers across the three offices. Marketing is executed through a mix of major yacht shows (Cannes, Palma, MYBA, Southampton), luxury event sponsorships (St. Moritz Snow Polo), earned media in BOAT International, Forbes, and SuperYacht Times, and an active social and newsletter presence.
