Equiom to Share Expertise at the Prestigious Monaco Yacht Show

With a substantial fleet of yachts, jets and luxury villas, Equiom is more than well-versed in the matter of wealth protection and advice. With more than 45 years of experience, it's a global business with a diverse team of experienced professionals that manage significant assets across an international client base. Equiom is able to facilitate secure and reliable support for both yacht and aircraft owners.

So, what did Equiom’s experts have to say in the lead up to the show?

‘Equiom Group is on hand to assist our international clients and partners with the various challenges and considerations that come with superyacht ownership, not just at the point of purchase, registration and operation, but across the full lifecycle of a yacht’, commented Mark A Hagan, Director of VAT, Equiom Tax Services Ltd.

Scott Le Cornu, Head of Equiom Crewing for Equiom Marine & Aviation Services (Jersey) Ltd., shared: ‘It is not just about purchasing the yacht, it is also essential to contract the right crew, so the total client experience matches or exceeds their expectations. The employer must work with the Master and/or Yacht Manager to ensure the best management of crew and their terms, policies and procedures so crew can deliver the necessary service levels to meet expectations.’

Director of Client Services in Equiom’s Monaco office, Antonio Mazzotta provided insights into the European branch: ‘Based in Monaco, we are able to offer clients specialist expertise in corporate and trust structures for residents and those wishing to relocate here, ensuring they adhere to civil and common law requirements. From Monaco, we can be a point of contact for yachting services, with the assistance of its Jersey and Isle of Man teams, for clients based in or coming to the French Riviera.’

‘Equiom simplifies jurisdiction and structure selection for superyachts based on client needs. Our bespoke structures, available across multiple jurisdictions, include efficient ownership structure establishment, multi-jurisdictional registration services, customs and VAT advice, formal EU and/or UK importation, financial reporting, temporary importation facilitation and directorship and officer services’, concluded James Meikle, Senior Manager of Yachting & Aviation at Equiom.
