Alex Braden
Honorary Chairman
Will Bishop
Partner


This is in part thanks to his knowledge and experience of sailing yachts as an ex-Captain of some years on CYCLOS II & III, in addition to the Superyacht Regatta racing which he has continued to take part in over the last twenty years.
Having come ashore in 2005 in a dual role as Project Manager and Sales Broker, he has shown that having a detailed understanding of Superyacht ownership in addition to the Sales & Purchase contract are essential ingredients to conclude a successful sale.
Will’s upfront and honest approach with his Clients coupled with his acumen for negotiation have proven to be key assets to have on any Owners Team, whether that be acquiring a new Superyacht or selling a treasured asset.
Matt Albert
Partner


Matt has spent 16 years in the industry, and has developed a very loyal group of clients who turn to him for all their yachting needs. He has a natural flair for negotiation always achieving excellent deals for his clients.
Matt’s track record of sales has demonstrated outstanding commitment with well over 50 Superyachts sold, both motor and sail with a cumulative deal value in excess of 600,000,000€.
As a trusted and principled Broker who is respected by his peers, his unrivaled knowledge of yachts both on and off the market sets him apart, one of the key reasons why his Clients turn to him for advice and guidance.
Axel Douqué
Partner



His Dutch heritage and encompassing love for the sea has brought Axel to what he is doing today: Matchmaking buyers and sellers of large, high value pleasure crafts who have the desire to transact.
“Client trust is the backbone of any successful yacht sale, trust which is only achieved over time and with the necessary experience. Complex yacht sales are only concluded successfully when the broker in charge has simply dealt with a high number of different yacht sale scenarios as no yacht, no ownership, no deal is ever the same”. Over 25 large yacht sales have given Axel the experience and subsequent confidence to take on any next case. Encyclopedic market and yacht knowledge ensure Axel’s clients that no relevant market data will be overlooked.
At Superyacht Partners Axel is flanked by two fellow brokers that share the same passion in making deals happen. “Existing and future clients will benefit from a solid, no nonsense superyacht sales operating platform set in the very heart of Port Hercule in the principality of Monaco. We look forward to welcoming you on board”.
Alex Braden
Honorary Chairman



Alex was the Founder and Chairman of a leading Yachting Company until it’s sale in 2009 after 37 years at the helm. As a former member of MYBA and its second ever President, Alex has been instrumental in championing some of the fundamental principles of ethical yacht broking across the spectrum of Sales, Charter and Management of Superyachts. He has a diversified set of interests including Encompass Trust a Charity set up to help bridge relationships between Israeli and Palestinian youth.
His worldwide reputation and achievements in the yachting industry are still highly revered amongst experienced professionals.
Alex kindly says: “I am really pleased to be involved with Superyacht Partners. Matt Albert and Will Bishop worked for me in close collaboration for many years, both gaining their early brokerage and management experience beside me and going on to prove their independent competence and ethical business practice in many substantial and sometimes difficult situations. I am happy that they have decided to form a ‘private office’ with their new team for Superyacht owners; offering a full service to those owners who are looking for an ethical and expert operation to match their highest expectations… I am honoured to be their ‘Honorary Chairman’!”
