Royal Yacht International announced its strategic relationship with Douglas Elliman to power the launch of Elliman Yachts, a new offering that expands Douglas Elliman’s luxury services into the global yachting market.
Through this relationship, Douglas Elliman clients can now seamlessly buy, sell, and charter yachts worldwide, powered by Royal Yacht International.
RYI acts as the exclusive yachting execution partner, delivering end-to-end services including yacht sourcing, brokerage, negotiation, and charter operations on a global scale.
A New Standard for Access to Luxury Assets
This relationship marks a structural shift in how ultra-high-net-worth clients access luxury assets.
The separation between real estate and yachting is disappearing, and this collaboration positions Royal Yacht International and Douglas Elliman at the center of that evolution. Clients can now move seamlessly between property and yachting opportunities through a single, trusted network.
With an established presence across key yachting hubs including Monaco, the South of France, and the United States, Royal Yacht International provides direct access to a global fleet of yachts for sale and charter, including off-market and new-build opportunities.
How It Works
Douglas Elliman agents can now connect their clients directly with Royal Yacht International’s global team to access:
- Yacht acquisition and sales worldwide
- Exclusive off-market and new-build opportunities
- Tailored charter planning and execution
- Full lifecycle support, from purchase to charter and beyond
This structure enables faster execution, deeper market access, and a more efficient client experience at every stage.
Technology-Driven Advantage
Royal Yacht International enhances this offering through proprietary AI-driven systems that optimize yacht sourcing and selection.
By leveraging advanced data intelligence, RYI is able to match clients with the most relevant global opportunities faster and with greater precision, bringing a measurable advantage to Douglas Elliman clients entering the yachting market.
A Scalable Global Platform
With a growing international footprint, multiple offices across Europe and the Americas, and access to an extensive global yacht network, Royal Yacht International is structured to deliver at scale while maintaining a highly personalized approach. This operational strength makes RYI the ideal execution partner for Douglas Elliman’s expansion into yachting.
Leadership Perspective
“We are not simply adding a service, we are redefining how clients access and manage luxury assets across categories,” said Tommaso Chiabra, Co-Founder and CEO of Royal Yacht International.
“This relationship integrates real estate and yachting into one fluid ecosystem. By combining Douglas Elliman’s client network with our global execution platform and technology, we are creating a faster, smarter, and more direct way for clients to buy, sell, and charter yachts anywhere in the world.”
A Clear Advantage for Clients
For clients, the benefit is immediate and tangible: one trusted entry point to access, acquire, sell, or charter yachts globally, supported by a best-in-class execution platform.
