Marine services

BKNH Yacht Advisory provides support for the structuring and management of maritime assets (yachts, vessels), covering taxation, ownership, compliance and international optimisation.

Yacht Structuring and Management

We provide advice on all matters relating to yachting, including the ownership, financing and management of superyachts.

Our experienced professionals assist private and corporate clients in setting up and managing bespoke ownership and registration structures, tailored to the requirements of an ever-changing maritime environment.

For residents outside the European Union, we offer a range of ownership solutions providing a stable, English-speaking European framework.

European Union residents, meanwhile, can choose from a wide range of structures, notably through flags that are well-regarded within the yachting and maritime industries.

Regardless of the jurisdiction chosen, we ensure that we select environments offering legal and financial certainty, as well as a robust regulatory framework for yacht ownership.

We also analyse the vessel’s tax profile, its areas of operation and the implications for the owner’s personal tax position, in order to ensure an optimal structure.
