NumiNova Yachts


Building a global group of specialist yacht businesses.

We are building NumiNova Yachts by acquiring established brokerage and owner-services businesses. We preserve the teams, relationships and judgement that make them successful, then provide the capital and support to help them grow.

Founder succession


Succession should protect the business, not just complete the deal.

A succession plan has to work for the owner, the team and the clients who rely on the business. That requires more than agreeing a price.

The first conversation is about what you want to achieve, the role you want after a transaction and what the business will need from its next owner.

After acquisition


Operating decisions stay with the yacht team.

The operating company remains responsible for its clients, people and specialist work. NumiNova adds the capital and shared capabilities needed to build a stronger business.

Market research


We do the work before we approach an owner.

Before making contact, we identify the operating business, legal company, ownership, services, locations and public evidence. The first conversation can then begin with context, not a generic acquisition pitch.

Research gives our investment team a better starting point for relationships, valuation and diligence.
