Client Testimonials
“YFSOL not only offered shrewd financial advice but went above and beyond in terms of their interest and encouragement in me reaching my goals.
“I felt thoroughly supported throughout my 15-year journey in yachting and transition to a land-based life.
“Creating the type of situation that I envisioned ashore wouldn’t have been possible without the financial forethought, planning and support that Teresa and Clive provided.”

“The professionalism was apparent from the beginning but as time went on I recognized the integrity, commitment and strong support values that the company offer.
“It has been a fantastic journey together and we are delighted that our financial future is in the best hands.”

“It is crazy but suddenly I feel more motivated at work. It makes me feel like I could actually be working for something.
“I guess I have no real sense of purpose since I don’t have a home or anything to spend my hard earned money on (apart from holidays). It is good to have a sense of purpose. In fact, I now recognise that this is what has been missing from my life for a while now.
“I think I have to give it a go. Especially now since I am financially secure enough to do so.”

“It was great to meet with you yesterday!
“After the meeting, I felt I had more of a direction and a goal to work towards. That is thanks to your direct and insightful questions about what I want for my future. Your focus was on the client and not the money—which was refreshing, knowing you have my interests at heart.
“I only wish I was faced with these questions when I first joined yachting four years ago!”

“Once you start saving, it is amazing how quickly it accumulates. Before talking with Yachting Financial Solutions, I would have just left my earnings in the bank doing nothing. But now I know that my money is actually making more money, and I feel more secure about my future when I retire from yachting.”
Clara
Purser, 72m MY
“I thoroughly enjoyed our meeting—thank you for taking the time to talk with me. I have just read the booklet back to front, good stuff, logical and uniquely tailored to a yachties’ financial situation, I will spread the word with my friends in the industry, I’m sure many of them would have contacted you a long time ago if they had known about your company.”
Sam
2nd Officer, 87m MY
“I have massive faith in you and your team and the fact that you have dealt with many people in the same and incredibly fortunate situation as me.”
Becky
Chief stewardess, 60m MY
“Putting away regularly a seemingly small amount of money with the help of Yachting Financial Solutions, provided me with an income to support the lifestyle I needed when I retired. What could be better than that?”
Joe
