01 / Access
Partnered Manufacturer Access

Access the Market Most Buyers Never See.

Lexington works with a carefully selected group of global yacht manufacturers, giving buyers access to new-build opportunities, limited-production models, and vessels not widely available through traditional U.S. brokerage channels.

The best yacht for you may never appear in a public listing feed. Some opportunities begin with the builder, the allocation, the model roadmap, or a direct relationship long before they reach the broader market.

Lexington gives buyers a more direct way in. Through our partnered manufacturers and trusted market relationships, we help serious buyers understand what is available, what may become available, and which opportunities are actually worth their time.

02 / Clients
Our Clients

Owners, principals, advisors.

Lexington advises across the full arc of private yacht ownership, applying the same discipline to a first acquisition as to a fifth.

Every client enters the market from a different position, a different vessel in mind, a different reason, a different set of advisors already at the table. Some are seasoned owners seeking a more selective process; others are principals making a first move into serious ownership, or family offices and operators managing an acquisition around broader financial, legal, and operational considerations.

Lexington is built for buyers who value discretion and judgment over volume. We help each client define what genuinely matters, weigh only the opportunities that fit, and move past the noise that tends to surround high-value yacht acquisitions.

The result is a calmer, more deliberate path to ownership, one where the buyer stays focused on the decision while Lexington carries the search, the diligence, and the coordination behind it.

03 / Advantage
The Lexington Advantage

More Access. Less Noise.

Lexington brings the opportunity to you, filters the market, evaluates the right options, and manages the details so only serious, relevant opportunities reach your desk.

Most buyers do not want to become yacht-market experts. They want the right vessel, the right guidance, and a clear path to ownership without giving the process more time than it deserves.

Lexington handles the search, first-pass filtering, outreach, evaluation, and coordination. You see the opportunities that fit, not every vessel someone wants to sell.

In practice, that means fewer yachts to weigh and better ones among them. Lexington maintains the builder relationships, market visibility, and valuation perspective that let a buyer move decisively when the right vessel appears, and pass, with confidence, when it does not.

No Listing Rabbit Hole

We do not send buyers into endless listings and call it advisory. We define the brief, then search around it.

ii

Only Serious Options

Before an opportunity reaches you, Lexington reviews fit, availability, condition, value, timing, and path to closing.

iii

Lifestyle Focus

The process is built around your objectives: how you want to use the yacht, where to cruise, and what to avoid.

04 / Mandate
Find Your Vessel

Global Market.

Whether you know the exact model, want a new build, need a limited-production allocation, or are comparing builders, Lexington shapes the acquisition around your lifestyle and objectives.

Every buyer starts in a different place. Some know the builder. Some know the size. Some know the lifestyle they want, but not the right yacht to support it.

Lexington turns that starting point into a focused acquisition mandate. We define what matters, identify where the best opportunities may exist, and manage the path toward the right yacht without making the buyer do the legwork.

Personalized Advisory

Purchase with confidence.

Lexington coordinates with all parties involved in a yacht purchase: buyers, builders, sellers, and advisors to ensure a smooth and successful purchase experience.

Lexington is built to work alongside the client’s existing network: counsel, tax advisors, insurers, captains, surveyors, lenders, management companies, and family office representatives.

Where a buyer does not yet have the right specialist in place, Lexington can introduce qualified counterparties for the buyer’s direct review and approval.

Your Team Stays Involved

Lexington coordinates with existing advisors rather than replacing them.

ii

Handled in confidence

Client identity, vessel objectives, acquisition criteria, and transaction details are handled confidentially.

iii

Your Role Is Clear

Engagement scope, counterparties, and potential conflicts are addressed before substantive work begins.

iv

Your Time Is Protected

Lexington keeps the process organized so the buyer is not pulled into every call, email, and market detour.

07 / Charter
Commercial Fleets

Built for the water. Modeled for the business.

Charter-fleet advisory for operators, captain-owners, and single-vessel businesses scaling into multi-vessel programs, structured as a commercial enterprise, not a collection of boats.

A charter fleet earns its return on utilization. We model the program around the economics that govern it: revenue days against operating cost, vessel mix against maintenance downtime, flag and jurisdiction against tax and crewing exposure. Every acquisition is underwritten to a defined yield, not a hull preference.

We source on that thesis, cleanly, with full disclosure, and always against the residual value the vessel must hold when the program is sold or recapitalized. The result is a fleet built to perform on the water and to defend its economics on the balance sheet.
