Our story
Who we are
Gibson Owens is a UK-based, full-service yacht business — management and owner services, charter, sales and brokerage, crew and delivery. One team, one point of contact, across the whole life of your yacht.
The established names compete on heritage and the size of their office network. We compete on something owners feel every day: a better-run, more transparent service that costs less to deliver — because we run on modern software rather than paperwork, and because we are independent, so the advice you get is yours.
One team, across the life of your yacht.
Why we built Gibson Owens
“Between us we’ve worked just about every part of a yacht — the bridge, the deck and the interior. You learn quickly that a yacht is only ever as good as the people looking after her, and that owners deserve to know exactly what’s happening with theirs.”
“We built Gibson Owens to run yachts the way we always wished they were run: hands-on, honest about cost, and properly organised.”
Toby Gibson & Laura Owens — Founders
What sets us apart
Owners, captains and crew work from one secure system — live budgets, maintenance, documents and reporting in one place. You see exactly where your money goes.
Not a brand bolted onto a larger group. On any single transaction we act for one side only — yours.
Built by people who’ve worked yachts at sea, not only managed them from a desk — practical, technically grounded decisions.
At the centre of the Mediterranean season and Europe’s leading hub for refit and service — where the yachts already are.
One relationship, the whole journey
Help someone buy the right yacht and you earn the right to manage it; manage it well and you become the people they call wherever in the world she travels. Our services are built to connect — buying, management, global assistance, charter, crew and delivery — so you have one team across the life of your yacht.
