Introduction
Now part of the Hill Robinson Group, Moravia Yachting began business in Port Hercule in 1962, the nexus of luxury yachting. Our opening watchwords were efficiency and discretion. Little has changed.
Managing and finding superyachts for sale and matching charter guests with their perfect superyacht charter, clients trust our specialised knowledge to deliver optimal investment choice on all acquisition, sale, and charter aspects. It’s not an achievement we shout about. Our most significant maritime transactions have been completed without fanfare, solely in our clients’ best interests.

Moravia Yachting Services
Yacht Charter
A private yacht is the most discerning and dramatic way to experience any destination. We curate private client charter experiences from Arctic adventures to tropical sunny climes. Anyone can visit a beach bar or dive spot. Only a lucky few can sail to unnamed islands or unchartered reefs. Moravia Yachting takes a highly personalised approach to charter. Each expedition distils an individual’s demands. They could opt for security and serenity, for culture and cuisine, or simply the luxurious celebration of time. Some guests prefer anonymity; others desire the head-turning allure of the latest superyacht launch. Clients may share their experience if they wish. Our discretion is assured.

Yacht Purchase
A luxury yacht may be a unique and highly complex asset, but like any other its value is governed by popularity, singularity and wider market forces. Moravia exists to help owners acquire their perfect vessel at the best possible price. There are thousands of new and pre-owned yachts on the market and a purchase must be treated with due diligence. With the needs of the purchaser forefront of mind, Moravia brokers evaluate and refine the selection, using our industry intelligence to guide the keenest figure. We will personally inspect, survey and trial each vessel prior to contracts being exchanged.

Yacht Sales
We devise a strategic marketing campaign for each individual yacht we represent for sale, sharing a yacht’s full narrative with a targeted audience in order to maximise its value.

Each negotiation is closed with the prudence and professionalism with which our company name has become synonymous, with several sales conducted between long-term Moravia associates.

The survey and report is designed to offer added security to any yacht purchase, ensuring that any discussion is in an environment where condition or safety matters are fully understood and considered.
