Practical knowledge, earned offshore.
Austin's perspective was built aboard yachts before it was applied to yacht transactions.
A lifetime around yachts
Experience that changes the conversation.
Austin grew up in Dorset, England, in a family connected to Sunseeker. That early familiarity developed into a professional career at sea spanning more than 40,000 nautical miles and multiple large yachts.
Working up to Chief Officer gave him a practical understanding of vessel operations, systems, maintenance, crew, and the day-to-day realities behind ownership. He holds an MCA Officer of Yachts 3000 GT qualification and RYA Yachtmaster Offshore.
Today, as a yacht consultant with 50 North Yachts, Austin brings that operating background to buyer and seller representation across the USA and internationally.
