OceanStyle, a sister company of superyacht management house Burgess Yachts, has opened an office in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

The company says it chose Palma for its newest office because the Balearic Isles yachting market is primarily composed of yachts in the 65- to 130-foot size range, which is OceanStyle’s specialty. The company focuses primarily on yacht sales, but, as I told you here on the CharterWave editor’s blog back in February, OceanStyle has quietly been building a nice little charter fleet in that size range, as well. The company is aiming to have a fleet of 25 yachts for charter by the end of this year.

The new office in Palma is in addition to OceanStyle’s offices in London, Monaco, Miami, and Athens. It will be headed by sales manager Jamie Small, a former yacht crew member with experience working in yacht brokerage houses in Spain.

There is no indication that a reputable charter broker will be based in the new Palma office, but certainly, the folks there can direct you to their OceanStyle co-workers elsewhere for charter inquiries. And for large-yacht charters, you can always contact sister company Burgess Yachts.
