V.Yachts launches with crew and yacht management services in Monaco

V.Ships Leisure, part of V.Group, is launching a bespoke management, crewing and consultancy offering to large yachts under the brand name, V.Yachts.
 
Based in Monaco, V.Yachts will provide professional services for large yachts, primarily in private use. The team at V.Yachts will work with yacht owners on a range of support spanning technical management, International Safety Management Code compliance, new build and refit projects, crewing, crew travel, digital payment solutions and insurance.
 
Having managed yachts for a number of years, V.Ships Leisure says the creation of V.Yachts is a natural evolution for the company and comes in response to growing interest in the yacht sector, involving a rise in operational and maintenance costs, safety concerns, regulatory compliance, crew recruitment and retention challenges as well as demand for a more curated experience.
 
Speaking on the launch of V.Yachts, Per Bjørnsen, CEO of V.Ships Leisure, says: “The yachting sector has not been immune to wider changes in the marine space, from evolving regulations and safety standards to global logistics challenges. In light of these developments, we’ve seen a real demand for professional services to help owners manage this complexity.
 
“Our solution for the sector will allow owners to benefit from the best of both our local presence and our global footprint. We’re laser-focused on offering yacht owners what we already do best as a group: operational excellence, backed by decades of experience, international scale and a robust safety culture.”
