About Us

Rather than chasing breaking news, we focus on what lasts: the individuals behind the brands, the stories behind long careers, and the quiet expertise that defines the modern superyacht ecosystem.

Our editorial brings together insight from captains, designers, shipyard leaders, family office specialists, naval architects, advisors, engineers, yacht managers and founders. These are the voices that rarely speak publicly, but whose decisions shape programs, guide owners and influence the direction of the industry.

We exist to document their paths — the histories of companies, the trajectories of people, the logic behind major decisions, and the patterns that repeat across decades. Through interviews, research and long-form profiles, The Journal offers readers a deeper understanding of the world behind the waterline: how teams are built, how reputations are made, and how careers evolve quietly over time.

For owners, UHNW families, family offices and industry professionals, The Journal is designed to be a place of clarity — a resource to consult when navigating complex projects, evaluating specialists, or simply seeking a richer picture of the people who make this industry what it is.

Our Mission

Our mission is to record and preserve the stories that too often go untold.
We aim to create the world’s most trusted collection of human and company histories within the superyacht and private-client sectors — a library of careers, achievements, lessons and legacies.

Where most publications focus on yachts themselves, The Journal focuses on the people who build, run and care for them: the captains who shape culture on board, the founders who built shipyards from scratch, the project managers who see designs through years of construction, the engineers who solve the impossible, and the family office teams who support owners behind the scenes.

These are not news cycles. They are timeless narratives — stories that remain relevant long after the season ends.
