While we are all managing the fallout of COVID-19, one of the many things that emerged during the chaos is that we’re all in this together. Yachting is a team sport and we learn early on in our careers that no one can do it all on their own.

You need to build the best possible team around you, and from day one our goal with YOA has been to give you a platform to help you do just that.

We know from our time on yachts how important this is and Tom and I lean on each other constantly to make YOA work for you. We’re always trying to improve the way YOA works and to this end, we have increased the size of our team and are continuing to do so.

So what’s new? Well, we’re extremely proud to let you know that we’ve teamed up with our friends at Berth One Palm Beach.

We built YOA on the principal that those we work with know us best and vouching for someone means a great deal.

We know how much trust our clients and crew place in us and are beyond happy to be partnered with a business that shares these same values of dedication and transparency. The team at B1 offer a host of services including the most competitive fuel prices, dock space, cranes & lifts, concierge services, on site storage and are a recognized foreign trade zone which is a huge benefit to new builds. Perhaps the most impressive is their customer service. Kevin and the team know first hand how important it is to foster relationships and judging by the feedback from some of the largest yachts in the business, they’re doing a fantastic job.

Watch this space for more news in the coming weeks, we’re not done yet.

COVID-19 may have rattled us, but it’s also helped cement what’s important. Here’s to the time ahead.
