It started with one man\u2019s dream: to establish a yacht brokerage based on a protocol of integrity, discretion and client care never seen before. Founded in 1975 by Nigel Burgess, a renowned solo ocean racer with an obsessive eye for detail and a passion for the sea, Burgess today is a global company providing 360-degree service, from yacht building or brokering to charter and management. Under the watchful eye of Burgess\u2019s successor, the inimitable Jonathan \u201cJoff\u201d Beckett, Burgess has grown into a true standard-bearer in the maritime world.<\/p>\n
