Michael Reardon has been in the industry for nearly 30 years operating and managing luxury yachts and superyachts. He has now set up own superyacht consultancy firm.
Following a youth spent racing sailing yachts and crewing aboard tall ships, he pursued an education in engineering and naval architecture. In the late 1980s, Reardon began his formal career in the yachting industry with six years of service as captain of private and charter sailing and motor yachts from New England to Grenada.
Coming ashore in 1992 to start a family, Reardon spent the past 23 years as a yacht management executive with several of the largest companies in the international yachting industry, including 11 years at Fraser Yachts. For the past seven years, Reardon served as head of U.S. Operations for Yacht Management at Hill Robinson in Fort Lauderdale.
“Working with some of the biggest companies in the yachting industry has given me a unique opportunity to gain experience in all phases of international yacht and charter yacht management,” Reardon said. “Now I am delighted to have the chance to draw on my knowledge base to provide my exceptionally high level of service to clients in the setting of a much smaller, high-touch firm.”
