MYS 2025: Kensington Yachts Are Redefining Luxury Charters with Purposeful Experiences
Superyachts.com Interview Studio session welcomed Kensington Yachts’ Vice President Edita Sgovio and Head of Expeditions Neal Bateman shared insights into the company’s evolution and its distinctive approach to luxury charters. Since its launch, Kensington Yachts has grown from a dedicated charter brokerage into a full-service provider, achieving key milestones that reflect both expansion and innovation in client experiences.
Central to the brand’s philosophy is its promise of an “onboard and beyond” journey, designed to go beyond traditional yachting. Guests are offered curated itineraries, immersive activities, and bespoke experiences that blend luxury with adventure, setting Kensington apart from other charter providers.
With a diverse client base, including many first-time charterers, Kensington Yachts has noticed a shift in expectations, particularly among younger travellers seeking meaningful, immersive experiences. This insight inspired the launch of Kensington Expeditions, a new division focused on purpose-driven travel as Sgovio notes ‘anything is possible with Kensington and that is true.’ This speaks true with the company embracing collaborations with scientists, conservationists, and cultural experts to allow clients to engage with destinations in a more impactful and memorable way.
"The Expeditions Division is really about creating those transformative journeys and experiences."
