I played a comprehensive role, from project inception to finalization for the Owner. Following the delivery of Project 8300, now named HERE COMES THE SUN, my responsibilities encompassed financing, registry, classification, flagging, insurance, recruitment, charter setup, promotions, agreements, VAT returns, daily yacht management, weekly maintenance, annual shipyard visits, private Owner usage operations, financial and VAT reports, pre-sale preparations, promotions, broker liaisons, buyer surveys, transactions, and closing statements.
M/Y Here Comes the Sun held the distinction of being the charter industry’s pinnacle in cost, hosting the Owner, esteemed guests, and high-profile charter clients. The yacht gained iconic stature, renowned for exceptional service and repeat clientele. The crew earned industry acclaim through awards and Owner-charterer commendations for their cohesive teamwork.
Upon the Owner’s decision to sell after over 60,000 nautical miles of global operation in just two years, M/Y Here Comes the Sun achieved a sale within 3 months, notably without requiring a technical survey. The swift culmination took place merely 12 days post offer acceptance.
