"I’ve known Will and his team for many years. They are honest, direct, knowledgeable and most important incredibly creative to work with. I recommend them without limitation."
"Will has represented me in five separate yachting transactions in recent years, including the new construction of a 75m yacht and the purchase of an off-market 60m yacht. He is an extension of my private office team. I depend on him to give me straightforward and honest advice in a field in which he is an expert."
"Working with Will has always been both a pleasure and strategic given his experience not only as a broker but as a new-build advisor as well. I appreciate Will’s candid advice on all matters — he recognizes the value of strong, trust-based relationships even if it means telling you something you don’t want to hear."
"Will is knowledgeable, proactive, commercial and great fun to work with. He was at our right hand for the whole process - choosing the best shipyard to work with, selecting the yacht, advising us throughout the build process and recruiting a great crew. Will offers a highly bespoke service and we felt in very safe hands throughout."
"I was only recently introduced to Christie Yachts when I was desperately searching for a quality 50m yacht, less than 5 years of age. Will hunted down two completely off-market yachts and I ended up buying one of them. I am very happy with the outcome. He did not stop with the presentation of the yacht. He really fought hard and represented my interests extremely well. He followed the deal with great precision and management until the yacht was signed and delivered. 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."
"The evidence speaks for itself. Will has represented us in four transactions in the last 12 years: the purchase and subsequent sale of two top-quality Dutch built yachts. His market knowledge, thoroughness and people skills are invaluable in getting the job done and enjoying yourself along the way."
"I was introduced to Felix at the start of my yacht search. He really took the time to understand my requirements and worked hard to source suitable options in a market where the options were very thin. I ended up buying a yacht which Felix sourced off-market. Within 24 hours of being advised that she could be bought, I was on board with my family doing a sea trial. The whole process from the pricing negotiation to completion was incredibly smooth and I know that Felix had my best interests throughout."
“Will is vastly experienced in representing both buyers and sellers and has a deep knowledge of the market and all the key players. For some, superyacht brokerage is a business but with Will it’s intensely personal. The interests of his client are first and foremost, front and centre. There is no one else I would want to have representing me.”
"We met Felix during our first purchase of a yacht. Having purchased homes in NY, East Hampton and Palm Beach we know what to expect from a broker but Felix surpassed any expectations we had and was more attentive and supportive than anyone we have ever dealt with on the residential side. He held our hands on our new voyage and his knowledge of boats and crewing was and is still invaluable. We decided to make changes to the boat to suit our family and Felix's advice on every change was and is spot on. If it had not been for Felix, we might have changed our minds about a yacht purchase, so thank you, Felix."
“Will provided an exceptional service with his expertise and fully engaged commitment. Guiding with honest and direct dialogue throughout the search and negotiation process. I confidently recommend Will and the rest of his team.”
“Christie Yachts know how to get deals done. From the big things to the very small, their experience and attention to detail makes all the difference.”
