About Us
Yachting Financial Solutions exists for one reason: to help yacht crew make smart financial decisions for their future life while they are earning substantial yachting salaries, often tax-free.
We understand the reality of working at sea. One of our directors, Teresa Evans, was a superyacht chef. Contracts can change. Income can fluctuate. Career longevity is uncertain. And many crew are left wondering whether they are doing the right thing with their money.
We provide proper, confidential, financial planning, structured savings, pension advice and investment management designed specifically for the yacht crew community. Our approach is long-term, personal and transparent.
We are not product sellers. We are planners.
Why was Yachting Financial Solutions (YFSOL) Created?
YFSOL was built to offer yacht crew something different from the traditional offshore sales model.
Too many crew have experienced high-pressure product sales, unclear fee structures and little to no ongoing investment management. That is not financial planning. And it is not what we do.
We focus on:
Our philosophy is simple:
We work alongside our clients for years, not just at the point of sale.
Structured Savings Plans
What We Do
A savings plan is not just about putting money aside. It is about creating discipline, structure and a clear purpose for that money.
We help you:
We assess income patterns, contract cycles and personal goals before recommending any structure.
Case Study – Monthly Savings Plan
A chief stewardess earning a significant monthly income wanted to save for a property in South Africa but had no structured plan. We identified the potential price point, factored in inflation and created a disciplined monthly savings strategy aligned to her goal. Within five years, she had purchased her dream home.
Comment from several YFSOL clients
“I finally feel like my savings have direction. Before YFSOL, I was just putting money somewhere and hoping for the best.”
Pension & Retirement Planning for Yacht Crew
What We Do
Yacht crew rarely have employer pension contributions. That makes proactive pension and retirement planning essential for the future.
We help you:
Retirement planning is not about blindly locking money away. It is about creating flexibility and long-term security.
Mini Case Study – Pension
An engineer in his mid-thirties had multiple fragmented pension pots and no clear strategy. We consolidated and structured a plan aligned with his intended retirement age and future relocation plans.
Comment from several YFSOL clients
“I thought pensions were something to think about later. Now I know I’m building something solid for the future.”
Investment Management & Oversight
What Makes Us Different
We do not simply place clients into investment products and step away.
We provide:
Many yacht crew have experienced investment structures with little transparency and minimal management. Our role is active, long-term and client-focused.
Case Study – Investment Review
A senior crew member came to us after feeling uncertain about an existing offshore investment plan. We reviewed the structure, assessed fees and aligned the portfolio with his actual risk tolerance and goals. He now has clarity and confidence in his strategy.
Comment from many YFSOL clients
“With YFSOL I understand what I’m invested in and why. That wasn’t the case before.”
Life Planning for Yacht Crew
Planning Beyond the Next Contract
Working in yachting is intense and rewarding, but it is rarely permanent. Real financial planning involves life after yachting.
We support clients with:
We act as long-term advisers and sounding boards, not just product providers.
Financial decisions should support your life, not complicate it.
Life Planning Case Study
A couple working on different vessels wanted to align their finances but had separate accounts and no joint strategy. We created a unified financial plan covering savings, pension, investments and future relocation. They now work towards shared long-term goals.
Comment from several YFSOL clients
“YFSOL helped us see the bigger picture. It’s not just about investments. It’s about where we want our life to go.”
