A leadership structure built for the future of brokerage

Published 11 August 2025

In an industry where tradition often dictates structure, we’ve chosen a different course. Our brokerage leadership team is not only the most experienced in yachting, but also the only one built on a model of true collaboration.

Meet the individuals driving this vision forward – leaders whose depth of knowledge and collective achievements set us apart. From milestone sales to pioneering strategies, these are the successes of a team that doesn’t just lead from the top, but together, across generations, disciplines, and time zones.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

We’ve built a structure that is unlike any other in the industry: collaborative, strategic, and intentionally designed to bring together the sharpest minds across every yacht size and sector. The result? A team powered by partnership, not hierarchy. And a new generation of leaders who know their market inside out – and work seamlessly together.

ONE TEAM. ONE VISION.

While other brokerage houses are usually built around individual contractors working under a corporate umbrella, Burgess operates with a unified vision, shared goals, and full transparency. Every broker is salaried. Every senior team member has a defined area of expertise. And we’re all rewarded as a team – because we work as one.

Whether it’s a 100m new build or a 40m yacht acquisition, you’re not just getting a broker. You’re getting the full weight of the Burgess team – experience, insight and global reach included.

A NEW ERA OF YACHTING

From those who have been with us for decades to the rising talent shaping our future, Burgess has always been defined by experience, integrity, and excellence. But our greatest strength lies in how we evolve. In addition to our dynamic leadership team, we also have the most experienced brokers and senior partners in the industry, whose insight underpins everything we do.

Today, our team is younger, more dynamic, and more connected than ever – ready to guide our clients into the next era of yachting.

‘There’s a reason our clients trust us to advise on the most important yachting decisions of their lives – it’s not just the depth of knowledge within the team, it’s how that knowledge comes together.’
