About us
Experience across yachting.
Expertise around you.
Ibiza Marine Consultants brings together practical marine experience, technical knowledge and a trusted network of specialists to support every stage of yacht ownership.
Our background spans the UK RIB manufacturing industry, yacht sales and charter operations, RYA training and work on the water in Ibiza since 2002. From a first boat to a large private yacht, we shape the advice and the team around the vessel, the owner and the task.
Acquisition, equipment, refit, operations and training are connected parts of ownership. We draw on experienced people across the industry, coordinating technical, commercial and operational expertise through one clear point of contact.
For complex private-yacht requirements, we can coordinate appropriate specialist input, including owner privacy and on-water security planning. Each assignment is scoped individually, with discretion and careful attention to detail.

A personal point of contact.
Every engagement starts with understanding what you need. Advice is shaped around your plans, your vessel and the way you want to use it.
From the first search to ongoing ownership, we bring together the right brokers, captains, yards and specialist contractors, with a clear brief and a consistent point of contact.
A practical way forward.
Yacht Search & Acquisition +
A successful yacht purchase begins with understanding what matters to you: how you intend to use the boat, where you will keep it, who will operate it and the realities of ownership. We turn that brief into a focused search, assessing suitable yachts with both a commercial and a practical eye.
As your independent point of contact, we liaise with brokers, arrange viewings and coordinate the specialists needed to assess the vessel and support the transaction. The aim is a sound decision, with the right questions answered before you commit.
- Search brief, market research and a considered shortlist
- Broker liaison, viewings and assessment of suitability
- Coordination of independent surveys, sea trials and technical inspections
- Negotiation support and liaison with your appointed legal and tax advisers
- Purchase coordination, handover planning and transition into ownership
From first enquiry to taking the helm, the advice stays focused on your interests.
Yacht Management +
Good yacht management brings clarity to ownership. We provide a dedicated point of contact for the practical demands of looking after a vessel, bringing together captains, contractors and service providers around an agreed plan.
Whether you need ongoing support or help with a particular aspect of ownership, the arrangement is tailored to the yacht, its operating programme and the level of involvement you want. Clear communication keeps you informed of priorities, costs and decisions requiring your approval.
- Planned maintenance and seasonal preparation
- Captain, crew and specialist contractor liaison
- Service scheduling, quotation review and work coordination
- Operational planning, vessel readiness and handover support
- Owner reporting, priorities and follow-up on outstanding work
The emphasis is straightforward: a well-looked-after yacht, informed decisions and dependable local support.
Refit & Technical Projects +
A well-run refit starts with a clear scope. We help turn an owner's requirements and a vessel's maintenance needs into a practical programme of work, with defined priorities, appropriate specialists and a clear basis for comparing quotations.
During the project, we coordinate communication between owner, captain, yard and contractors, follow progress and bring proposed changes back for approval. Technical specialists undertake work within their expertise; we provide the practical oversight that keeps the whole assignment connected.
- Work-scope development and maintenance planning
- Shipyard and contractor liaison, quotations and exclusions
- Programme coordination and progress reporting
- Review of proposed variations, costs and owner decisions
- Completion checks, snagging and handover coordination with the relevant specialists
From targeted improvements to a wider refit, the objective is controlled work and a clear record of what has been agreed and delivered.
Operational Support & Consultancy +
Practical marine advice for owners and crews, including vessel handovers, training coordination, operational planning and safety considerations. Specialist survey, legal and engineering advice is coordinated where the assignment requires it.
