Burgess is one of the world's leading superyacht companies, founded in 1975 by Nigel Burgess, a renowned solo ocean racer with an obsessive eye for detail. Over five decades the firm has grown from a brokerage house into a full-service superyacht partner, earning the trust of discerning yacht owners and buyers worldwide.

The firm's services extend well beyond brokerage. Specialised teams cover every aspect of the yachting world, from sales and charter to new construction, yacht management, crew services, insurance, refit and procurement — a breadth of in-house capability few rivals can match.

What distinguishes Burgess is the depth of that in-house expertise. Technical teams support owners through new construction and refit, while management divisions handle marine operations, technical management, accounting and safety. With 19 offices worldwide — from London and Monaco to New York, Dubai, Hong Kong and Sydney — the firm's reach extends to every major yachting hub.

For owners seeking a partner they can trust with their most valuable assets, Burgess delivers a rare combination of heritage, expertise and forward-thinking service — a standard the firm has upheld for fifty years, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025.
