    EP 13: Why a Family Office Should Play a Key Role When Buying a Yacht | The Yacht Show

    Buying a yacht at an ultra-high-net-worth level requires far more than selecting the right vessel. In Episode 13 of The Yacht Show, Spencer Brown of Brown's International Yachts speaks with Victoria Blackburn, Director in the Private Office division at JTC Family Office, about why ultra-high-net-worth individuals should engage a family office before purchasing a yacht.  From ownership structuring and VAT exposure to private vs charter strategy, multi-jurisdictional compliance, crew considerations, and long-term governance, this episode explores the complex ecosystem behind superyacht ownership. A single yacht purchase can involve multiple specialists and annual running costs ranging from tens of thousands to millions. Without the right advisory framework in place, costly mistakes are easy to make. This conversation is essential viewing for: Ultra-high-net-worth individuals considering yacht ownershipEntrepreneurs following a liquidity event and wanting to purchase a yachtFamily offices advising on luxury assetsBrokers, advisors and legal professionals in the UHNW spaceWhat we explore: What a family office actually doesWhy yacht ownership requires specialist structuringThe difference between private and charter ownershipVAT structures and 18-month rule risksWhy selling or restructuring a yacht is not quickHow new-generation UHNW buyers are changing yacht designWhy emotional decision-making can cost millionsLuxury assets require governance, foresight and the right advisory team around you.
