W ith thirteen offices globally including dubai, Burgess, a company that specialises in yachts of more than 30 metres in length, confirms a healthy position as it moves into into the final quarter of 2018. This is a mere reflection of the impressive credentials of a company that has consistently excelled since its inception in 1975. As the only full-service global yacht agency, Burgess has the ability to manage every facet of yacht ownership, sale and purchase, charter, management and new construction. A true 360-degree service. Firstly, the charter management division goes into the final quarter with over 90 yachts in the managed fleet and has reported a record- breaking 24 weeks' charter achieving EUR12 million in gross earnings for one yacht alone. Burgess's new Construction team has successfully delivered a number of high profile yachts this year including the 74.5m ELANdESS. The division was also recognised at the 2018 World Superyacht Awards in Florence when the 73mHASNA was awarded The Best displacement Motor Yacht between 500 and 1,999 gross tonnes and the exceptional 74m CLOUd 9, also a Burgess charter-managed yacht, was recognised as a finalist in the Best displacement Motor Yachts at 2,000 gross tonnes and above category. Moving into the brokerage division, the team has been involved in some of the most prestigious yacht sales of the year, and currently boasts the 2017-built JUBILEE for sale. Globally, the company has gone from strength to strength. In
