"LYS provides a high quality, personal and bespoke service and goes to extraordinary lengths to understand fully each owner's demands and requirements and act on them. Our clients have been delighted with the level of service provided by LYS, be they experienced large yacht operators or completely new to the industry and looking for a straight-forward and objective assessment of their needs."

“ Richard acted as my Owners Representative during the build of my 47m motor yacht at ISA. As my Representative he proved to be very conscientious and looked after my interests throughout the specification review and build stages very well. With his technical ability and overall knowledge of yacht systems being very useful in getting the best for the build. It was a pleasure to have him work for me and I would have no hesitation in recommending his services for your owner's new build project.”

“The advice and support from Richard and his team now I am the proud owner of Mary Jean have been hugely valuable. Whether it is considering an offer from a prospective charterer, pricing a new crane, replacing a catalytic converter, I really would be lost without the analysis, business contacts and commercial acumen that LYS bring to their area of specialist knowledge”

“We were pleased to work with Richard and his team on the refit of a 70m yacht. Their knowledge and experience contributed significantly to the successful completion of the project. They were particularly helpful in simplifying complicated technical issues and ensuring efficient administration of the project in order to meet the client’s exacting requirements.

From the perspective owners acting in a fiduciary capacity, I feel that LYS has developed a real 'value added' to its already excellent superyacht consultancy and management service by taking the trouble to really understand our role as Trustees and company directors of companies that own superyachts. In particular, we receive regular and clear communication upon those elements that are particularly important to us in respect of our obligations (financial and otherwise) in owning such valuable, and in many respects, complex assets. It goes without saying that, the efficient 'behind the scenes' day to day management is to the highest quality to ensure that any passenger, whether beneficial owners or third party charters, will enjoy a seamless five star quality holiday onboard."

“Hi, Richard! Yes, I thought the meeting went extremely well. From my perspective you and Doug seemed of like minds, which would be important in a smooth running project. I especially enjoyed the time he suggested you answer one of my questions, and then reinforced your answer in spades!”

"During the construction of our fully custom 135m motor yacht, Richard and his team provided the new build support and technical assistance to our onsite project manager and Captain. Their involvement proved critical to the success of the build and the knowledge and solution finding ability of LYS Yachts was exceptional. As experienced Superyacht owners with many new build projects under our belts, we would have no hesitation in recommending Richard and his team to any new potential owner looking for qualified new build advice."

“Thanks for the help you have given us over the years; your advice has never proved less than 100% right.”
