#221: Chris Cecil-Wright - Yacht Broker & Explorer

Founder of Cecil Wright who spent his childhood messing about on boats, Chris Cecil-Wright never dreamt he would grow up to become one of the world’s preeminent yacht brokers.

Having spent thirty years in the industry, during which time he was a founding partner of other yacht brokerages, such as Edmiston, today he’s renowned for running Cecil Wright, a boutique superyacht brokerage house specialising at the top end of the yachting market, to assist clients who wish to build, buy, sell, and charter large yachts.

The company was founded around a central desire not to be the biggest brokerage but the best. Cecil Wright is very selective about who they work with, and this approach allows for the creation of exceptionally strong client relationships. Cecil Wright specialise in northern European yachts over 60m, and in particular has developed close working relationships with some of the most prestigious shipyards in the world, including Feadship, Royal Huisman and Nobiskrug.

For Chris, career milestones have been the superyacht builds of MADAME GU, TANGO and HAMPSHIRE II but it is the relationships behind those constructions that have really left their mark. Shipyard owners and CEOs, designers, captains, project managers, lawyers, bankers and of course the Owners, all play an integral role in a project. Every completion ignites a shared sense of achievement. Ultimately, it’s about natural rapport and a mutual commitment to quality, integrity and authenticity. The Cecil Wright business is built on these principles.

With offices in London, Monaco, Jersey and Hampshire’s New Forest, the team, many who have worked together for over 25 years, are perfectly placed to manage their client’s needs with high level of personal service.

Leadership Tip

“My first yacht sale helped clarify and shape future business plans for as I realised the most successful yacht brokerages were based on strong client relationships along of course with team credibility, delivering what you promise and excellent product knowledge.”
