A well-known name in the Superyacht Industry, Russell’s previous career as a yacht broker spans almost 20 years, linking him with some of the world’s largest yacht sales having worked with the industry’s most respected owners.

“Russell is a very experienced and very successful yacht broker well known throughout our industry worldwide,” says YPI CEO Bertrand Vogele. “He has a solid understanding of what it takes to get the best results at the right time for clients. He also knows yachts inside and out.”

“I started working as a brokerage manager with ’22 North’ in Hong Kong back in 1989,” says Russell. “They were the agent for X-yachts of Denmark and a number of other performance and motor yachts in South East Asia. From there I went on to work with Sunseeker and eventually joined Edmiston, initially setting up their French office in Golfe Juan.”
