YACHT OWNER REPRESENTATIVE SYBAss IAMI YORP Accredited FOUNDER, ULTIMAR ULTIMAR NETWORK SL Yacht Owner Representation & Project Management - New Build - Refit - Operation
Wisdom, youth, and maybe a bit of tech... The formula for future proof success in the Yachting industry Yachting depends on honouring it's past, and in an industry often accused of “clinging to the old ways,” it’s easy to see experience as outdated or out of touch. But lets reframe that perspective. The expertise, networks, and knowledge that industry veterans bring to the table are irreplaceable foundations. Their legacy isn’t a hurdle, it’s a head start for us as the next generation who follow. "Surrounding yourself with experience is not a threat; it’s a blessing". I'm seeing this phrase alot on LinkedIn lately Sat in the boardroom with Darren Hunt of 7Ps Yacht Management & Jamie Brown of E-Touch Systems, and many others I have been fortunate discuss projects with, listening, learning and adapting to their ways of operation, it's clear to me the way the industry should move forward. It's clear, to succeed in this industry you need honesty, transparency, ready to adapt, and not be a Jack of all trades (excuse the pun!). Focus and dedicate yourself to one clear role and service, aim to achieve and be great at it, but also understand that the value of experience, knowledge and wisdom is priceless. ULTIMAR is a bread and butter business, with a clear, no conflict, high standard Owner Representation for yacht projects. I would not feel comfortable in my position without the knowledge & guidance received throughout a 20 year career at sea in the merchant navy, north sea and yachting. These leaders have spent decades perfecting the art of successful project management and businesses within the industry, without tech and automated services, just pure human interaction, and their insights can guide us as the next generation in ways that pure innovation alone might overlook. The yachting industry doesn’t need to “kill the dinosaurs”, as we are constantly hearing, we need to learn from them. By integrating their tried and true methods with new approaches, we create a balanced future. A future that respects the past whilst pushing boundaries and moving forward. Are we valuing experience enough? Or are we in too much of a hurry to rewrite the rules? Let's remember that true progress is often built on the shoulders of giants.
