Our Approach

The Moran team is built on decades of hands-on marine expertise. Our captains, engineers, and brokers have operated and managed superyachts firsthand, which means our advice is grounded in real-world experience, not salesmanship.

That expertise gets people through the door. What keeps them coming back is simpler: we do what we say. We give honest, unbiased guidance, we honor our commitments to clients and fellow brokers, and we don’t overpromise. The result is an exceptionally high rate of repeat business.

SEE WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Integrity and the relentless pursuit of the deal defines Moran Yacht & Ship - I am grateful that you were on this journey with me. This magical machine KISMET is the second yacht I’ve had built with Moran Yacht & Ship. KISMET has brought joy, hope, and the gift of discovery to many lives - including my own. You have made this world a better place!

Owner, KISMET

By way of background, my business interests include controlling stakes in 3 publicly traded companies which operate vessels in the 500 to 5000dwt range. On average, one new vessel a year would be added to the fleet. As a result, I have access to in-house marine architects, engineers and construction supervisors. Consequently, when I decided to build my first large motor yacht, I did not feel I needed the services of a company like Moran Yacht & Ship. In any event, I was persuaded to let them negotiate on my behalf while I simultaneously held discussions with other building options. Moran Yacht & Ship understands yachts, their incredibly complex systems, and what constitutes a practical solution to various owners’ ideas. In short, I would not consider building another yacht without engaging Moran Yacht & Ship to provide the services they are so good in delivering.

Former Owner, NORTHERN STAR

We commissioned Moran Yacht & Ship to represent us during the construction of Aurora, a Lurssen built yacht. They provided me with first-class service as the liaison between myself, the shipyard and others. They oversaw the complete construction of my yacht and fought all the battles associated with such a large and complex project. The fit, finish and quality of my yacht are superb. I look forward to many more years onboard her with my family.
