Discover the difference
We’ve been perfecting our craft since 1975 and today we’re number one in every field of superyachting over 30m. The reason for that is the Burgess difference.
“I have found Burgess to be discreet, trustworthy and professional in all my dealings with them. I would highly recommend Burgess to other yacht owners.”
Yacht owner (71m / 233ft)
The company was founded in 1975 by Nigel Burgess, a renowned solo ocean racer with an obsessive eye for detail and a passion for the sea. Nigel was a pioneer. He had to innovate and think originally to surpass the competition and drive his company to the top of a market that he helped to create. Nigel succeeded because he always put the client first.
Along with the urge to outperform and overdeliver, the trust and integrity that defined Nigel are embedded in the Burgess DNA and reach into every corner of our personalised client services. As a Burgess client, you always come first, whether that’s charter , brokerage , yacht building , management or finance . That’s the Burgess difference.

Superyacht broker
Founded in 1975 by Nigel Burgess, renowned sailor and worldwide single-handed ocean racer, he created a company with an obsessive eye for detail that put clients first every time. Today, Burgess is a leading authority in the sale and purchase, new construction, charter and operational management of the world’s finest yachts over 30 metres.
From their original office in London in 1975, Burgess now spans the globe, with branches catering to clients in 14 major locations. The company has been involved with some of the most significant yachts ever built and Chief Executive Jonathan Beckett has led Burgess to its position as the world’s number one full-service superyacht company. In recognition of this, Burgess became the first yacht brokerage firm ever to receive the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise in 2001.
“’Luxury’ is often a term carelessly thrown around – it covers a whole host of things! However, ‘luxury’, when used in conjunction with the superyacht industry, can conjure up quite negative connotations. It doesn’t accurately portray an industry that supports the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people, world over. The end result of a new build is a masterpiece – a beautiful piece of engineering which expertly blends art with science and industry – meaning ‘luxury’ is simply the icing on the cake. I have been fortunate enough to work at the coalface of this industry for over 40 years, and I have seen the changes that have been made and I know we can make the ones being called for in the future. The Superyacht Life Foundation is a great platform encouraging collaboration, innovation, and evolution – only as a team can we work towards our collective goals of a fun, challenging work environment, correcting any misconceptions and, most importantly, a sustainable future. At Burgess, we are fully committed to raising the bar and working hard with industry colleagues to help educate society on our niche but exceptional world.” – Jonathan Beckett, CEO of Burgess

Burgess CEO and Charismatic Frontman Jonathan Beckett
Look around at the world’s leading yacht brokers and you would be hard pressed to find one with as colourful and interesting a story as Jonathan Beckett.
Burgess’s CEO and charismatic frontman has weathered many a storm over the last quarter of a century, but his vision and business acumen have helped to transform the company from a passionate but tiny concern of three staff into a global phenomenon in superyacht sales and construction, with a team of 140 working out of 11 offices around the world.
In person, Jonathan - Joff to his friends - is a jocular and gregarious character, a refreshing breath of fresh air in an industry where many play their cards close to their chest. A keen sailor, he grew up on the Norfolk Broads and always imagined he would forge a career building wooden boats after getting his BA in sociology at Durham University. ‘I was never academic but I’m a very hard worker. I had a gap year between school and university and went sailing in the Caribbean on a 55ft Sparkman & Stephens ketch,’ he recalls as he addresses the recent YPY conference in Monaco.

US Expansion: Burgess Opens New Office in Miami
By Frances Flannagan
Burgess has announced that it has recently opened an office in Miami, contributing to the brokerage's expansion in the United States. This is a wonderful opportunity for Burgess to solidify its presence in the US whilst also making travel between Miami, Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale effortless for its staff members.
The market-leading superyacht brokerage Burgess has announced that it is embarking on the first wave of its US expansion by opening an office in Miami. It is based in the city’s financial district, on the 27th floor of the 35-story 1450 Bricknell office tower.
The company’s expansion into the Bricknell area is significant, following in the footsteps of leading hedge funds and tech companies such as Ken Griffin’s Citadel. The office is located within walking distance of some of the city’s finest restaurants and five-star hotels, and within minutes to the Brightline transportation. This means that Burgess’ team of charter and sale brokers can effortlessly travel between Miami, Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale: three yachting capitals of the continent.
‘The location is very strategic as it puts us in the right company and is convenient for our brokers to meet privately with clients,’ commented Jonathan Beckett, CEO of Burgess. ‘As we look to our future, the US remains our strongest market and this announcement is the first of several expected in the coming 12 months emphasising our commitment to the region and its potential.’
Burgess first opened its South Florida doors over two decades ago, growing a very small team into a staff that have earned a reputation for first-class service. The services offered at Burgess include charter, charter management, brokerage, yacht management and the full suite of owner services.
"As we look to our future, the US remains our strongest market and this announcement is the first of several expected in the coming 12 months emphasising our commitment to the region and its potential." Jonathan Beckett, CEO, Burgess

Jonathan Beckett: The CEO of Burgess on the Current State of the Yachting Industry
Jonathan Beckett joined Burgess at the age of 23, working in Monaco with the company’s founder Nigel Burgess from 1981 to 1983, before moving to the UK to launch the London operation. Under Beckett’s guidance, the company has developed from a “one-man band” into an all-service company, with specialist divisions in all aspects of the superyacht industry and multiple offices around the globe. Jonathan has served on the Board of the Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association (MYBA), was President of MYBA from 2000 to 2002, and has also chaired the MYBA Sales Committee. He is a founding member and former President of the Large Yacht Brokers’ Association (LYBRA). In 2016 he received the Leadership Award from the International Superyacht Society. Burgess remains one of the most successful and popular yacht brokerage and charter companies in the world, having represented and orchestrated the sale of many of the world’s most famous yachts, including Azzam, Dilbar, Dubai, Jubilee, Trump Princess, Maltese Falcon, and Cloud 9.
By CSQ Staff / April 22, 2020
What are your biggest business concerns surrounding COVID-19?
The uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 is one of the major factors challenging us right now. The uncertainty makes any sort of planning extremely difficult—if not impossible. In late March, in the UK, advice and laws were changing daily, if not hourly. Thankfully that has slowed somewhat, and we have all got into the rhythm of social distancing, and as a business, working from home. The biggest concern for us, is, of course, the health and well-being of our staff and their families and of our clients. Following this is our concern of “how long will this last?”
Lady E, one of the many yachts in the Burgess portfolio.
What is your current business strategy for dealing with the situation?
We are closely following government guidelines across all of our offices, and we have successfully implemented our remote working plan across all 14 of our locations. I was impressed how quickly and able we were to make this happen. I was impressed myself! We continue to be agile and ready to adapt to change. Being a truly global business with a great deal of travel involved—we are well versed at working remotely and responding to clients’ and business requests—no matter how diverse. The global travel industry has had to deal with many significant challenges before and COVID-19 is yet another obstacle to overcome but we are ready, willing, and able to support our clients as soon as they need our expertise.
The global travel industry has had to deal with many significant challenges before and COVID-19 is yet another obstacle to overcome but we are ready, willing, and able to support our clients as soon as they need our expertise.
In the past few weeks we have had a couple of yacht sales, and charters go through, but this is the minority. The industry has mostly come to a grinding halt. Some shipyards in Northern Europe remain open for the time being, but we are spending our time talking to our clients and making sure we are in great shape for when travel restrictions are lifted. We are here to support crew, owners, and clients through this unprecedented time. We have introduced a new COVID-19 cancellation policy for any new charter bookings taken now—meaning that charterers and/or owners can cancel their fully booked and paid for charter without penalty in the need to cancel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
How do you think things will look in your industry a year from now?
We must all recognize that this situation will change our industry forever. However, our industry is here to stay. All of these yachts exist, and they need to be managed, insured, crewed, chartered, bought, sold, and refitted. It is up to the industry to ensure that change is for the better. We are already doing business in different ways, as the whole company is working remotely. We are constantly finding opportunities to support our clients with enhanced services such as our virtual yacht experiences. We are a strong believer that working hard in times of adversity will stand us in good stead. It is those brands that stand up to be counted that will be the ones that survive and ultimately thrive. We may not have the immediate answers to the challenges that we face but we will work with our clients, colleagues, and contacts to find the right solution, now and for the future.
I think that many business leaders are fully occupied at stabilizing their businesses to make sure that when we eventually come out of this pandemic we all still have businesses to go back to. On top of that – I think there will be a new “norm” once COVID-19 passes. The way we do business, the number of people we employ, the amount of office space we need, etc is all under review, and we will come put the other side of this crisis leaner, meaner, and hungrier than ever, but also well educated in how a large team can work efficiently together in a remote fashion.
Burgess CEO Jonathan Beckett.
What have you learned from other difficult times in the past?
What we have learned over the years is just how important it is to have “fuel in the tank” when a crisis hits. This has not always been the case with Burgess. In the 1980s and 1990s, we were a small, fledgling company living hand to mouth in a cottage industry and we got ourselves into a tight spot on more than one occasion when business dried up and we had no cash reserves.
Today, we are a larger professionally run company. Our finance team has been very astute to ensure we have good cash reserves at all times, “money for a rainy day.” And that rainy day is today!
Also, the importance of diversification—both territorial, across the world—but also by discipline. All of these existing yachts still need to be managed, crewed and insured, and so these three divisions of Burgess are doing “ok” at the moment and provide us with good and reliable income.
Safe–and entertained–at Home: What business leaders are doing with their downtime
Morning routine? Up at 6:30am with my three little girls (ages 6, 4, and 3) for a family breakfast. The working day starts at 8:30am, and the morning is filled with Microsoft Teams phone calls with our strategic board, followed by heads of department.
Currently binging? During the daytime I have the TV in my home office and it will either be on BBC News or on Bloomberg, watching the markets. I like to keep on top of World affairs. In the evening, if time permits, we might watch a movie or a television series on Netflix.
Currently reading? Arthur Ransome’s Swallows and Amazons to my three little girls ages 6, 4 and 3.
What are you doing to spend quality time with those you’re sheltering with? Spending a lot of time together as a family is a real treat for me, as I travel at about 220 days a year when we are operating in normal business times. We are all active together swimming, walking, playing tennis, and having family movie nights.
What are you doing to stay healthy mentally and physically? A lot of swimming and dog walking.
Where are you dreaming of visiting once things are back to normal? To our own sailing boat, Agapi Mas . We spend wonderful summers cruising onboard her with family and friends.

Burgess: Inside one of the industry’s leading brokerage firms
With its roots dating back to 1975, Burgess is a well-established name in the yachting world. Since its inception, it has grown into a global network of 14 successful offices that have sold some of the world’s most notable and expensive yachts. With 80 yachts currently on the market, Burgess is a brokerage house that many owners turn to when wanting to sell a yacht quickly and efficiently – and it’s this stellar sales process that accounts for a large portion of the firm’s success.
To find out more about this professional process and the “Burgess DNA”, BOAT speaks to Richard Lambert, Burgess’ senior partner and head of sales, at the firm’s Monaco office.
Yachting revolves around relationships
Since day one, Burgess has put its clients first. The owners who have sold their yachts with Burgess will have been offered everything from a glossy photoshoot to in-depth pricing advice. “We view yacht ownership as a journey where we can ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for the client,” Lambert explains.
Burgess' ethos is to assign one point of contact to every client who is supported by the global team of brokers. "Every client has a direct broker and this person brings together expertise from across the company. This includes yacht management, insurance, crew services, new build and charter. Effectively you have the whole team of 31 brokers working for you with one point of contact,” explains Lambert
“Providing a 360-degree service to our clients is what drives us and has led Burgess to the enviable position that it commands today,” he continues. “I am proud to say that the majority of our clients have gone on to take advantage of the full range of services that we have to offer, and have established long-term relationships with their brokers.”
Get instant exposure
Most owners looking to sell their yacht would like an easy transaction. Therefore, owners who choose to sell with Burgess will see their yacht listings shared far and wide. “Our standing in the yachting industry and the relationships that we have built over the last 45 years as a business means that an owner who is looking to sell is not just getting exposure of their yacht through our global network of 14 offices, but exposure to the most qualified clients looking to purchase,” says Lambert. Burgess also has relationships with all relevant media that target ultra-high-net-worth individuals. “Our in-house marketing team are dedicated to providing balanced and effective sales campaigns,” he adds. “They are second to none.”
However, this exposure does not have to be public. “There are a number of yachts that we have sold via very discreet campaigns, that have not been publicly listed for sale,” he adds. An owner always has the option of selling a yacht off the market by tapping into the company’s client base, which includes a variety of nationalities and professions, as well as an increasing number of younger clients and new buyers.
Extensive in-house research indicates that the majority (65.4 per cent) of Burgess’ current clientele are individuals who have acquired their wealth, while 10.7 per cent inherited it. The remaining 24 per cent accounts for a mix of both. “Being on a superyacht is not just the best holiday that you can have, it is where multiple generations can enjoy time together in a unique environment,” continues Lambert.
A successful track record
With 27 sales this year so far, Burgess is staying at the forefront of an “incredibly active market”. These sales have seen the likes of the 89-metre Cloud 9 , the 30.4-metre Hummingbird , and the 43-metre EVA. 4EVA change hands. As Lambert explains, a successful transaction for Burgess is one where a client has been given the best advice, has been able to find the perfect yacht for their needs, and the transaction has concluded professionally and harmoniously.
“Year after year, Burgess has delivered the most successful sales programme in the world of superyachting,” explains Lambert. “Over the last two years, it has been exciting to see a number of new clients becoming owners for the first time.” And despite numerous pressures on the large yacht market as a result of current world events, the team at Burgess is still experiencing strong demands for both purchase and charter. “Which I feel just shows how Burgess is the go-to broker in the industry,” says Lambert.

Or, visit the Burgess team at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2022, taking place between 6-11 September, at the Superyacht Extension SYE 236 in Vieux Port to discuss any of your yachting requirements or view a selection of exceptional yachts, which will be on display in Port Pierre Canto.

Renowned for its unparalleled expertise, Burgess Yacht has charted a course as a leading figure in the maritime realm. From the breathtaking elegance of the vessels they manage to the impeccable experiences they curate, Burgess Yacht is synonymous with the very essence of maritime luxury. Their reputation isn’t just limited to the shores of one continent; it echoes across the globe, setting a gold standard in yacht management, charter, and sales.
The History of Burgess Yacht:
The story of Burgess Yacht is as riveting as the blue waters their vessels navigate. Founded by Nigel Burgess , a notable yachtsman and aviation entrepreneur, Burgess Yacht started its voyage in the heart of London during the late 1970s. It wasn’t just another yacht company; it was a vision to redefine luxury yachting.
As the years unfurled, so did the company’s achievements. Each decade brought its set of challenges, but with a firm hand on the tiller, Burgess Yacht skillfully maneuvered through, always finding the wind to fill its sails. Whether it was introducing innovative yacht designs, launching tailor-made charter experiences, or securing record-breaking sales, the milestones achieved were not just markers of success but testaments to the company’s dedication and passion.
Their trajectory wasn’t merely horizontal. As the demand for luxury yachting surged, Burgess expanded its horizons, laying anchor in strategic ports worldwide. From Monaco to Miami and Hong Kong to Hamptons, their global footprint began to imprint a mark of luxury, trust, and expertise. Today, they don’t just stand as a business; they are the frontrunners, the trailblazers of the luxury yachting industry, turning the dreams of maritime enthusiasts into reality.
Yacht Management: Ensuring Seamless Operations
A luxury yacht requires meticulous management to ensure its grace remains untarnished by the complexities of operations. At the heart of this is yacht management , a multifaceted role encompassing everything from routine maintenance and legal compliance to crew well-being and financial administration.
This is where Burgess Yacht’s begins. Recognized for their exceptional managerial skills, they seamlessly integrate all aspects of yacht management. The process begins with crew recruitment, where Burgess not only identifies but also mentors the best in the industry, ensuring a harmonious balance between skill and service. Their operational administration further exemplifies their dedication, covering every minutiae, be it safety drills or itinerary planning.
However, what truly makes Burgess Yacht’s approach commendable is their emphasis on tailored solutions. Understanding that every yacht owner has unique visions and requirements, Burgess crafts bespoke management plans, harmonizing the owner’s dreams with the reality of operations.
Yacht Charter: Luxury Voyages Tailored to Desire
The allure of the open seas, the promise of untouched horizons, and the luxury of time—yacht charters offer an unparalleled experience. And with Burgess Yacht at the helm, this experience transcends expectations.
First, there’s their diverse fleet, a testament to their commitment to choice and quality. From the magnificence of superyachts that seem to kiss the skies to rugged explorer vessels built to unveil the secrets of the deep, Burgess offers a vessel for every dream.
But a yacht charter isn’t merely about the vessel—it’s about the voyage. And this is where Burgess’s penchant for personalized experiences shines. Every charter itinerary is crafted with precision, reflecting the client’s desires, be it a tranquil sojourn through the Mediterranean’s azure bays or an adrenaline-filled adventure along the Antarctic’s icy realms.
This bespoke approach, combined with their unwavering commitment to service, forms the “Burgess difference.” They don’t just offer yacht charters; they provide immersive experiences, sculpted by their profound understanding of luxury demands and an unyielding drive to exceed them.
Yacht Sales: Bridging Buyers and Sellers
The world of luxury yachting is one of dreams and desires. For many, owning a yacht is the culmination of a vision, while for others, it’s about embarking on new adventures by acquiring a different vessel. In this intricate dance of aspirations, Burgess Yacht plays the crucial role of matchmaker.
Their expertise stretches across both ends of the spectrum—purchase and sale. Understanding that a yacht isn’t just a transaction but a deeply personal endeavor, Burgess approaches each deal with the utmost care and precision. The journey often starts with a comprehensive valuation, ensuring sellers receive the true worth of their prized possession. For potential buyers, Burgess opens a world of possibilities, arranging viewings of some of the most magnificent vessels on the seas.
Yet, it’s not just the process that stands out—it’s the experiences that burgeon from it. Numerous client testimonials echo tales of success, of dreams realized and transitions made smooth. They speak of Burgess Yacht’s dedication, their unerring eye for detail, and their commitment to ensuring every party sails away satisfied.
Sustainability at the Helm: Eco-Friendly Practices
In the vast expanse of blue, luxury yachts are a sight to behold. However, these symbols of opulence have, at times, cast shadows on the very waters they travel. The environmental impact of yachting, from fuel consumption to waste discharge, cannot be overlooked. It is a concern that the modern yachting industry, including stalwarts like Burgess Yacht, are keenly addressing.
Burgess Yacht recognizes the delicate balance between luxury and responsibility. As leaders in the industry, their initiatives in promoting sustainability are both commendable and crucial. This includes championing eco-friendly yacht designs that minimize fuel consumption and maximize the use of sustainable materials. But it doesn’t stop at design. Their operational practices are woven with threads of green, ensuring waste management, energy consumption, and even the amenities onboard tread lightly on our planet.
Yet, sustainability is not a journey one undertakes alone. Burgess Yacht has fostered collaborations and partnerships with environmental organizations, marine researchers, and conservationists. Together, they not only aim to reduce the carbon footprint of yachts but also to contribute positively to marine ecosystems and foster a future where luxury and conservation sail hand in hand.
Comprehensive Services Beyond Management, Charter, and Sales
Burgess Yacht’s legacy is not just rooted in its proficiency in management, charter, and sales. It thrives on a mosaic of comprehensive services, each tailored to ensure the luxury yachting experience remains unparalleled.
Crew Services: At the heart of any luxury yacht is its crew—a team that transforms voyages into unforgettable experiences. Burgess’s role extends beyond mere recruitment. They nurture talent, ensuring crew members are trained to meet the highest standards of the industry. From captains with unrivaled navigational expertise to chefs crafting culinary masterpieces, Burgess is instrumental in shaping the very soul of a yacht.
Technical Services: The beauty of a yacht lies not just in its appearance, but in its performance. Burgess offers a suite of technical services ensuring every vessel runs at its optimal best. Whether it’s routine maintenance checks, elaborate refits, or state-of-the-art technological upgrades, they are committed to ensuring that every yacht remains in pristine condition, both inside and out.
Consultancy: The world of luxury yachting is ever-evolving. As new design trends emerge and technological advancements reshape the industry, Burgess stands as a beacon of knowledge.
