About The WOY
Yachting is our passion
For over 30 years, The World of Yachting has been acting as a major boutique brokerage company in the South of France. Specializing in the 24 to 60 meter range, our team brings together decades of hands-on experience in yacht management, marketing, charter, sales, and destination services.
Our philosophy is built on three pillars: integrity, respect, and attention to detail. Having lived and worked aboard yachts ourselves, we understand the unique demands of yacht ownership and charter from the inside out.
Based at the Port de Nice on the French Riviera, we serve clients worldwide — from Monaco and Cannes to the Caribbean and beyond. Our deep roots in the Mediterranean yachting community, combined with a truly international outlook, allow us to offer a bespoke service that larger firms simply cannot match.
