There seems to be no stopping the superyacht services group YCO. Having scooped up top charter brokers Hume Jones, Nick Heming and Tamsin Priestley, after many years working at Camper & Nicholsons International they have now topped that by announcing that one of the most well known sales brokers in the industry is also to join them.
Neil Cheston also formally at CNI Monaco is to join the firm and brings not only his expertise, but also the advantage of his experience as former President of MYBA and his current position as Chairman of the MYBA Sales Committee.
At YCO, Neil will be working to raise the profile of the brokerage division and build up the expanding sales and charter team. In doing so he will divide his time between the Monaco and London offices.
Established by three superyacht captains in 2004, YCO is rapidly being recognised as one of the superyacht industry’s leading firms and is somewhat an innovator in the market.
YCO was the first company to introduce its own online yacht management software (YCO LIVE) as well as a prepayment debit card (YCO VISA) and the specialised luxury sailing division, YCO Sail.
Most recently, YCO has introduced the world’s first superyacht brokerage iPad application, Yachtbox.
