At British Superyacht, our mission is to bring together the most distinguished companies and professionals who embody the globally renowned quality and excellence of the superyacht industry. Our strap line, "Stronger Together in Leading the Industry," is at the heart of everything we do, and today, that commitment is reinforced with the addition of two outstanding new members to our British Superyacht: Imperium and Chisnell Design.

Imperium is an independent, privately owned financial services group that has built a reputation for its highly tailored and innovative approach to meeting the needs of private clients and corporate organizations. Based in Guernsey and Jersey, two of the world’s leading financial centres, Imperium offers a comprehensive suite of services that are crucial to the complex world of superyacht ownership and management. They specialize in private client, corporate, and fund services, providing a level of expertise and dedication that is essential for navigating the intricate financial landscape of high-value assets.
What truly makes Imperium a great fit for the British Superyacht community is their client-centric philosophy. They focus on developing close, personable relationships, ensuring their service is wholly impartial and aligns perfectly with a client's individual needs. This bespoke approach is a perfect complement to the personalized nature of the superyacht industry itself, where every project is unique. The company’s independent status, free from affiliation with banking or legal institutions, means their advice and service are truly impartial, providing a level of trust and security that is paramount to their clients. Their addition to the British Superyacht family strengthens our financial network and provides a trusted resource for a wide array of financial services.

Equally exciting is the arrival of Chisnell Design, a superyacht design studio that embodies the pinnacle of creative excellence. Founded in 2024 by Adrian Chisnell, a veteran with over two decades of experience directing design teams for other leading studios, Chisnell Design has already established itself as a popular choice for yacht owners seeking bespoke excellence. Adrian’s legacy includes contributions to award-winning superyachts like Sophia, Faith, Obsidian, and IJE, as well as a portfolio of revolutionary tenders and chase boats.
The studio is nestled in a historic 17th-century former shipping bakery on Lymington’s quayside, a location that is itself a nod to Britain’s rich maritime heritage. This setting, combined with the team’s own passion for sailing, provides a unique blend of historical reverence and deep practical knowledge. The team, composed of experienced yacht and interior designers, 3D modelers, and CGI specialists, is dedicated to creating "the very best of the best," meticulously collaborating with owners to turn their unique visions into reality. By joining British Superyacht, Chisnell Design brings not only their exceptional talent but also a powerful ethos of bespoke creativity and a deep understanding of the sea, which will undoubtedly inspire and elevate our entire community.
The addition of Imperium and Chisnell Design reinforces the strength and diversity of our membership. These two companies, while operating in different sectors, both share a fundamental commitment to a tailored, client-focused approach and a pursuit of excellence that resonates with our core values. As we continue to lead the industry, their collective contributions will be instrumental in navigating the complex financial landscape and pushing the boundaries of innovative design.
Please join us in extending a very warm welcome to Imperium and Chisnell Design.
