What Neo Yachting does

Neo Yachting S.A.S. is a privately held French boutique luxury yacht brokerage founded in 2009 and headquartered at 26 Quai Lunel in Nice, operating across 11 international offices in Monaco, Geneva, Hamburg, Bristol, Praha, Split, Stavanger, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The firm brokers luxury yacht charters and sales-purchase transactions for an inventory spanning vessels from approximately 18m to 85m, sourced from builders including Sanlorenzo, Azimut, Sunseeker, Bilgin, Princess, Vicem, Tansu, Gulf Craft, Picchiotti, CRN, and Majesty, with publicly disclosed weekly charter rates ranging from roughly €45,000 to €350,000 in Mediterranean markets and AED-denominated listings in Dubai. Its core services are yacht charter brokerage, yacht sale and purchase brokerage, destination curation (Mediterranean, Caribbean, Indian Ocean, Baltic/Northern Europe), and themed yachting experiences including Monaco Grand Prix and Cannes Film Festival charters, supported by an in-house concierge and yacht services arm.

The business is built on a commission-based revenue model with three streams: yacht charter commissions, yacht sale and purchase commissions (transaction fees on listings such as MIA LUNA, BLUE MAMBA, and FREEMONT), and professional services for yacht management and bespoke experiences. Pricing is quote-based, varies by vessel, season, and event, with peak July–August and event charters commanding premiums. Go-to-market is sales-led: direct client engagement, presence at MYBA Charter Show, Palma International Boat Show, Düsseldorf Boot, SuperYacht Show Barcelona, and MIPIM, plus a multi-channel digital presence across website, Facebook, and Instagram. The firm operates under MYBA, CYBA, ECPY, and Greek Yachting Association frameworks, including a 2026 Bitcashier partnership enabling cryptocurrency payments.

Customer segments are High-Net-Worth Individuals (primary), Corporate Clients (event and entertainment yachts), and Yacht Owners/Investors (purchase-sale advisory). There are no publicly disclosed revenue figures, headcount is reported at 1–10 employees, and the firm remains owner-managed under Managing Director Nicolas Valin, with no institutional capital, subsidiaries, or parent company structure identified in the available material.
