About Bespoke Yacht Charter
Bespoke Yacht Charter is a London-based yacht brokerage specialising in the charter of high-quality yachts and superyachts worldwide. Established in 2014, we advise private clients, family offices and corporate organisations on charter planning, yacht selection and charter management for both private cruising and major international events.
We act exclusively on behalf of our clients, providing independent advice and discreet representation throughout the charter process.
Independent Yacht Charter Brokerage
As an independent brokerage, Bespoke Yacht Charter offers unrestricted access to the global charter market. We are not aligned to any fleet or ownership group, allowing us to recommend yachts based solely on suitability, operational standards and value for purpose.
Between them, the founders of Bespoke Yacht Charter have spent more than 30 years working extensively in the South of France, developing long-standing professional relationships with owners, managers, captains and crew. We spend a significant amount of time onboard the yachts we charter, maintaining current, practical knowledge of vessels, crews and onboard operations.
This first-hand experience underpins our advice and allows us to manage charters with accuracy and consistency.
Leadership and Expertise
Bespoke Yacht Charter was founded by Alexander Coles and Rachel Coles, whose areas of expertise are complementary and clearly defined.
Alexander focuses on private yacht charters for UHNW families, advising on extended cruising programmes, itinerary planning and onboard arrangements where privacy, security and service flow are central considerations. His work is informed by extensive time spent onboard charter yachts and a detailed understanding of how family groups and their guests use yachts over longer periods.
Rachel specialises in event and corporate yacht charters, with particular experience in Cannes and its major international events, including Cannes Lions and TFWA. During these events, she is present in Cannes throughout, boarding yachts daily and working directly with clients, captains and crew to manage logistics, schedules and operational detail in real time.
Presence During Key Events
For major charter periods and events, Bespoke Yacht Charter maintains a continuous presence on location in the South of France. This includes regular yacht visits, coordination with crews and direct oversight of charter preparation and delivery.
This approach ensures informed decision-making and effective management during high-demand, time-sensitive charters.
London-Based, International in Scope
Operating from London, we serve an international client base while remaining closely connected to the Mediterranean charter market. Our clients value continuity, discretion and a brokerage team that remains directly involved from initial enquiry through to charter completion.
Our role is to simplify decision-making, manage risk and ensure that each charter is executed as intended.
Our Approach
We believe successful yacht charters are defined by preparation, judgement and execution. Clear advice, accurate information and attention to detail are central to our work.
By combining global market access with sustained regional presence and direct involvement, Bespoke Yacht Charter provides a consistent, dependable brokerage service for clients who expect clarity and discretion.
