The Yacht Tailor

A designer's eye, a broker's judgement.

Alastair Callender has lived the superyacht world from both sides of the drawing board. He began as a designer — earning international recognition for Soliloquy, his 190ft (58m) zero-emission concept, and a Condé Nast Traveller Innovation & Design Award — before bringing that rare technical fluency to yacht brokerage.

Since 2005 he has advised owners and charter guests on the vessels that define a life's most memorable chapters. In 2020 he launched the Americas region for Moravia Yachting, the historic Monaco brokerage house and part of the Hill Robinson Group, the world leader in yacht management.

"I bring the same attention to detail to every client as a perfectly made-to-measure suit from Savile Row."

The result is counsel few can offer: the instinct of a designer who understands how a yacht is conceived, and the discretion of a broker who knows how the finest deals are done.

Beyond brokerage, Alastair is Exclusive Yachting Partner to the Queen Elizabeth II Commonwealth Trust and an Advisor to the United Nations Foundation — bringing purpose to a life spent on the water.

Tailor-made access

Every charter and acquisition is curated around you — itinerary, vessel, crew and moment — with the reach of a global brokerage house behind it.

03

Quiet discretion

Relationships built on confidentiality and trust, the standard expected by the families and principals Alastair is privileged to advise.
