Why choose Fraser

Fraser offers added benefits outside the usual list of services which sets us apart from other companies in the industry, allowing us to provide a higher level of service and ensure that your yacht is maintained and operated safely at all times.

As one of the first companies to recognise the need for and offer yacht management services, Fraser has several decades of experience managing large vessels all over the world. Fraser employs an expert team of over 40 dedicated staff worldwide, with Yacht Managers in Fort Lauderdale and Monaco. Our team is made up of veteran mariners and administrators who have many years’ experience actually working on board large vessels as well as management positions ashore, all over the world.

Our expertise covers yachts of all sizes, and our fleet reflects that with yachts ranging in size from 25m to over 120m. With more than 130 yachts and over 700 crew, we have the largest fleet of superyachts under management, including some of the most prestigious in the world. Many of these yachts have been under our management for many years, including multiple yachts under the same owner.

Our expert staff provides assistance for whatever a yacht may need regardless of where the yacht is operating. Spare parts shipping, chandlery, purveying and fuel bunkering are all part of our worldwide service. We are adept at supporting rapid and economical transport of supplies to any port. With offices in around the world, Fraser management staff are reachable at all hours.

Recognising the high level of support needed at all times for a superyacht, Fraser provides an emergency response unit available 24/7, 365 days a year. Rest assured that if a situation arises, our team will be there to guide your Captain and crew every step of the way.

Crew placement is about truly understanding every aspect of the vacant position so we can find you specific individuals with the right set of qualifications, personality and experience. The professional team of recruitment consultants at our sister company, The Crew Network, is well versed in finding skilled crew to operate your yacht to the highest standards.  Any yacht from our management fleet will benefit from preferred placement fees.

Through our parent company V.Ships, Fraser can offer further significant benefits in our crew placement service. Their network provides us with access to specialised seafarer recruitment offices around the world and the Oceanic Hospitality Training Centre in the Philippines. This state of the art training center simulates the on board working environment, enabling us to provide well trained and qualified crew.

Thanks to part ownership from V.Ships, vessels in the Fraser management fleet are the only yachts to benefit from reduced costs through our unique access to MARCAS, an association of shipping companies that negotiates reduced rates through volume. Yachts also benefit from over 60 V.Ships support offices around the world, and access to dedicated training schools.

Of course, we can say that we’re the best yacht management company in the world but that doesn’t prove anything. So don’t just take our word for it, read what some of our clients and Captains have said about our yacht management services.
