Williams Yacht Services is an independent company specialising in offering safety management consultancy services to yacht management companies, yachts and other organisations. The company does not manage yachts directly. WYS is experienced in the design and implementation of safety management systems for both companies and yachts. As well as producing comprehensive and effective systems for use ashore and afloat, WYS has experience in setting up shore-based yacht management units capable of handling large fleets of yachts in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
WYS is proud to represent the International Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA) at the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in London. All international maritime legislation originates at IMO and through its involvement with ICOMIA WYS is able to keep abreast of the latest trends and developments affecting the yachting sector.
Having no brokerage affiliation or broking interests, WYS takes an impartial and analytical interest in the yacht sales market. As a result of a project researching yacht sales and time on the market, WYS has developed a yacht value calculator which can be found here.
WYS is committed to building a sustainable and lasting business model and to pursue this strategy will acquire or enter into partnership with companies where clear synergies have been identified.
Andy Williams established Williams Yacht Services in early 2009. Prior to setting up the company, Andy spent 2 years as Operations Director of international management house Hill Robinson based in Antibes.
