A message from our founder

Burak Unal, Yacht Broker & Sales Director

Burak Unal

Founder & Sales Director

View full profile

When I founded this company, my vision was simple: to share the joy and freedom of yachting along Turkey's extraordinary coastline, while protecting our clients' interests as if they were our own. Having spent years in investment and brokerage, I saw how complex and overwhelming buying or selling a yacht could be, and I wanted to build a brokerage that was transparent, trustworthy and truly client-focused.

Today our team lives that vision every day. From your first inquiry to the moment you step aboard your yacht - and long after - we are by your side with local expertise, international standards and genuine passion. Thank you for considering us as your partner; I look forward to welcoming you and helping you experience the very best of the Turkish coast.

Our standards - how we protect buyers

Buying or building a yacht is a major decision. These are the standards we hold ourselves to on every transaction, so your interests are protected from first inquiry to handover.

Buyer-side representation

When we act for a buyer we work in your interest - sourcing, diligence and negotiation are all on your side, never the seller's.

Independent survey & verified condition

We coordinate an independent surveyor and sea trial so a yacht's true condition and history are confirmed before you commit.

Transparent, agreed fees

Our fees and any costs are agreed in writing up front - no hidden commissions and no surprises at closing.

Clear paperwork & compliant transfer

Contracts, flagging and registration are handled properly so ownership transfers cleanly and legally.

Honest advice

We tell you what we would do in your position, including when not to buy, and we never misrepresent services we do not provide.

Your data stays private

We only use your details to help with your enquiry, and never sell or share them with third parties.
