In the language of modern sailing, the term ‘yacht management’ denotes all of those activities that relate to the administrative management of the yacht and its crew. Over recent years, the demand for yacht management services has increased markedly, in line with the increasing demand for professional nautical expertise in general. Yacht management focuses on freeing the ship owner from having to deal with any of the hassles of managing his or her vessel, covering for everything from mooring arrangements to sailing support and maintenance. The professional management of a yacht is a complex business that encompasses a range of different disciplines, requiring specific skills that must be kept up to date in order to remain in step with constantly evolving nautical and fiscal regulations. By entrusting the management of his or her yacht to us, the ship owner can cut out all of the red tape and use the time saved to get the most from their time on the ocean waves.
In response to the increasing demand for professional yacht management services, SNO has set up a dedicated office to assist ship owners from the moment they purchase their vessel. SNO’s Yacht Management service can cover all of the following areas:
|
|
 |
Consultancy on the most suitable leasing/nautical finance products.
Purchasing a boat involves the filling out of a series of forms. Thanks to the Yacht Management office, SNO has what it takes to resolve all and any problems relating to the presentation and finalising of leasing contracts, which can be drafted in just 48 hours.

|
Motor yacht (M/Y) registration in the official Italian and overseas registers.
|
|
M/Y insurance policy paperwork.
Guaranteeing safety on board your vessel takes not only an experienced captain but also the right insurance policy. In partnership with MAA Assicurazioni, SNO Yacht Management is able to offer policies that do not require an upfront payment in cases of malfunction.

|
Crew selection.
SNO Yacht Management can also assist the ship owner in his or her search for a suitable crew. We have access to highly experienced commanders, skippers, sailors, stewards, hostesses, cooks and service personnel.

As such, SNO is permitted to issue certificates of conformity with the relevant safety legislation for pleasure craft.
