West Nautical is a full-service superyacht company providing services including sales, charter, yacht management and crew recruitment. While the head office is located in Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK, they also have offices in international yachting hubs of Antibes, La Spezia and Palma.

During the Covid 19 pandemic, West Nautical saw a huge increase in yacht sales as well as an influx of new build projects now under management and the company’s growth has not stopped there.

At the start of 2022, the UK head office expanded into two new office locations, one for the yacht management team, accountants and support staff and the second office, located in Newcastle’s affluent Jesmond area, which will host the sales marketing team, is to be a shopfront superyacht office with a one-of-a-kind interior fit-out in collaboration with yacht interior designer John Vickers of Vickers Studio.

West Nautical have employed several new staff including a new Office Manager, an Accounts Assistant, Business Assistant and a Vessel Manager who are all based in the UK. The company has also expanded its operations in Italy where a permanent project management team is based to oversee several new build projects in La Spezia.

As the sales market has peaked since the pandemic, owners and future yacht owners have looked at commissioning new build projects. West Nautical are currently project managing five new build Sanlorenzo yachts including a 58m diesel electric yacht, a 56m and 52m steel yachts and two 44m aluminium hulls. These yachts are due to be delivered between 2023 and 2025.

West Nautical are delighted to be thriving during what has been a historically difficult period and will continue to grow and to super serve the global yachting industry, offering a full suite of owner’s services from the UK and beyond.
