We believe that we are "Stronger Together," and it is through the collaboration of expert service providers, heritage brands, and innovative newcomers that we continue "Leading the Industry."

Today, we are delighted to officially welcome three exceptional new members to our professional community: Superyacht Agency Services, Kestrel Concierge, and Wainwright Bros.

Superyacht Agency Services: Precision in Port

When a vessel calls at a major UK hub like Southampton, the complexity of logistics can be daunting. Superyacht Agency Services has built a reputation for removing that friction. As a dedicated subsidiary of the Wainwright Group, they provide a 24/7 "one-stop-shop" for vessels.  

From securing prime berthage and managing seamless customs clearances to organizing intricate refit logistics with local specialists, their team ensures that every port stay is efficient and enjoyable. Their ability to handle the "last-minute" requests—the hallmark of the superyacht world—makes them an invaluable asset to our network. Whether it is bunkering, visa assistance, or specialised technical support, they embody the reliability that British maritime services are known for.

Kestrel Concierge: Global Reach, Personal Touch

The superyacht lifestyle is defined by the seamless transition between sea and shore. Kestrel Concierge joins us with a wealth of experience in global logistics and bespoke concierge services. While many know Kestrel as a market leader in worldwide shipping and liner representation—honoured with multiple Queen’s and King’s Awards for International Trade—it is their ability to translate this logistical muscle into personalised luxury that stands out.  

Through their concierge and travel divisions, Kestrel offers a bridge to the world’s most exclusive destinations. Their expertise extends from global freight forwarding for yacht spares to arranging high-end villa rentals and 5-star experiences in the South of France and beyond. By joining British Superyacht, Kestrel Concierege reinforces the link between the UK’s maritime heritage and the global luxury landscape.

Their national network of agents ensures that the high standard of service they provide in Southampton is mirrored across all main UK ports. Their membership signifies the enduring strength of the British maritime tradition within the modern superyacht sector.
