Edmiston Opens New Southampton Hub

The picturesque marina of Ocean Village in Southampton provided the perfect backdrop this week as we celebrated a significant milestone for one of our esteemed members. Edmiston, a powerhouse in the brokerage and yacht management sector, officially opened the doors to its new centralised yacht management office. This strategic expansion complements their existing hubs in London and Monaco, cementing their footprint on the South Coast and highlighting the region's crucial role in the global superyacht sector.
