Jonathan Beckett: The CEO of Burgess on the Current State of the Yachting Industry

Jonathan Beckett joined Burgess at the age of 23, working in Monaco with the company’s founder Nigel Burgess from 1981 to 1983, before moving to the UK to launch the London operation. Under Beckett’s guidance, the company has developed from a “one-man band” into an all-service company, with specialist divisions in all aspects of the superyacht industry and multiple offices around the globe. Jonathan has served on the Board of the Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association (MYBA), was President of MYBA from 2000 to 2002, and has also chaired the MYBA Sales Committee. He is a founding member and former President of the Large Yacht Brokers’ Association (LYBRA). In 2016 he received the Leadership Award from the International Superyacht Society. Burgess remains one of the most successful and popular yacht brokerage and charter companies in the world, having represented and orchestrated the sale of many of the world’s most famous yachts, including Azzam, Dilbar, Dubai, Jubilee, Trump Princess, Maltese Falcon, and Cloud 9.

By CSQ Staff / April 22, 2020

What are your biggest business concerns surrounding COVID-19?

The uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 is one of the major factors challenging us right now. The uncertainty makes any sort of planning extremely difficult—if not impossible. In late March, in the UK, advice and laws were changing daily, if not hourly. Thankfully that has slowed somewhat, and we have all got into the rhythm of social distancing, and as a business, working from home. The biggest concern for us, is, of course, the health and well-being of our staff and their families and of our clients. Following this is our concern of “how long will this last?”

Lady E, one of the many yachts in the Burgess portfolio.

What is your current business strategy for dealing with the situation?  

We are closely following government guidelines across all of our offices, and we have successfully implemented our remote working plan across all 14 of our locations. I was impressed how quickly and able we were to make this happen. I was impressed myself! We continue to be agile and ready to adapt to change. Being a truly global business with a great deal of travel involved—we are well versed at working remotely and responding to clients’ and business requests—no matter how diverse. The global travel industry has had to deal with many significant challenges before and COVID-19 is yet another obstacle to overcome but we are ready, willing, and able to support our clients as soon as they need our expertise.

The global travel industry has had to deal with many significant challenges before and COVID-19 is yet another obstacle to overcome but we are ready, willing, and able to support our clients as soon as they need our expertise.

In the past few weeks we have had a couple of yacht sales, and charters go through, but this is the minority. The industry has mostly come to a grinding halt. Some shipyards in Northern Europe remain open for the time being, but we are spending our time talking to our clients and making sure we are in great shape for when travel restrictions are lifted. We are here to support crew, owners, and clients through this unprecedented time. We have introduced a new COVID-19 cancellation policy for any new charter bookings taken now—meaning that charterers and/or owners can cancel their fully booked and paid for charter without penalty in the need to cancel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

How do you think things will look in your industry a year from now? 

We must all recognize that this situation will change our industry forever. However, our industry is here to stay. All of these yachts exist, and they need to be managed, insured, crewed, chartered, bought, sold, and refitted. It is up to the industry to ensure that change is for the better. We are already doing business in different ways, as the whole company is working remotely. We are constantly finding opportunities to support our clients with enhanced services such as our virtual yacht experiences. We are a strong believer that working hard in times of adversity will stand us in good stead. It is those brands that stand up to be counted that will be the ones that survive and ultimately thrive. We may not have the immediate answers to the challenges that we face but we will work with our clients, colleagues, and contacts to find the right solution, now and for the future.

I think that many business leaders are fully occupied at stabilizing their businesses to make sure that when we eventually come out of this pandemic we all still have businesses to go back to.  On top of that – I think there will be a new “norm” once COVID-19 passes.  The way we do business, the number of people we employ, the amount of office space we need, etc is all under review, and we will come put the other side of this crisis leaner, meaner, and hungrier than ever, but also well educated in how a large team can work efficiently together in a remote fashion.

Burgess CEO Jonathan Beckett.

What have you learned from other difficult times in the past? 

What we have learned over the years is just how important it is to have “fuel in the tank” when a crisis hits. This has not always been the case with Burgess. In the 1980s and 1990s, we were a small, fledgling company living hand to mouth in a cottage industry and we got ourselves into a tight spot on more than one occasion when business dried up and we had no cash reserves.

Today, we are a larger professionally run company. Our finance team has been very astute to ensure we have good cash reserves at all times, “money for a rainy day.” And that rainy day is today!

Also, the importance of diversification—both territorial, across the world—but also by discipline. All of these existing yachts still need to be managed, crewed and insured, and so these three divisions of Burgess are doing “ok” at the moment and provide us with good and reliable income.

Safe–and entertained–at Home: What business leaders are doing with their downtime

Morning routine? Up at 6:30am with my three little girls (ages 6, 4, and 3) for a family breakfast. The working day starts at 8:30am, and the morning is filled with Microsoft Teams phone calls with our strategic board, followed by heads of department.

Currently binging? During the daytime I have the TV in my home office and it will either be on BBC News or on Bloomberg, watching the markets. I like to keep on top of World affairs. In the evening, if time permits, we might watch a movie or a television series on Netflix.

Currently reading? Arthur Ransome’s Swallows and Amazons to my three little girls ages 6, 4 and 3.

What are you doing to spend quality time with those you’re sheltering with? Spending a lot of time together as a family is a real treat for me, as I travel at about 220 days a year when we are operating in normal business times. We are all active together swimming, walking, playing tennis, and having family movie nights.

What are you doing to stay healthy mentally and physically? A lot of swimming and dog walking.

Where are you dreaming of visiting once things are back to normal? To our own sailing boat, Agapi Mas . We spend wonderful summers cruising onboard her with family and friends.

“I have found Burgess to be discreet, trustworthy and professional in all my dealings with them. I would highly recommend Burgess to other yacht owners.”

Yacht owner (71m / 233ft)

The company was founded in 1975 by Nigel Burgess, a renowned solo ocean racer with an obsessive eye for detail and a passion for the sea. Nigel was a pioneer. He had to innovate and think originally to surpass the competition and drive his company to the top of a market that he helped to create. Nigel succeeded because he always put the client first.

Along with the urge to outperform and overdeliver, the trust and integrity that defined Nigel are embedded in the Burgess DNA and reach into every corner of our personalised client services. As a Burgess client, you always come first, whether that’s  charter ,  brokerage ,  yacht building ,  management or  finance . That’s the Burgess difference.

Boat of the Week: The Elegant 295-Foot Superyacht Will Transport You Back to New York’s Art Deco Period

A 16-foot-long metal sculpture of the mythical bird on the end of the bow gives a hint of the dramatic features inside the boat., julia zaltzman, julia zaltzman's most recent stories.

The principal owner was heavily involved in the boat’s design. Though he passed away a few years after taking delivery in May 2010, the yacht has remained in the family. Phoenix 2 was his second Winch-designed yacht, but his first new build.

The former, also named Phoenix , was penned for a different owner who had requested a Parisian art-deco theme. Phoenix 2 was the boat that he wanted to build, and New York was his art-deco city of choice.

“The owner was a powerful businessman and very proud of it,” says Dixon. “He wanted Phoenix 2 to reference the boom time of 1920s New York—the art-deco architecture and that period of industrialization. It was much stronger in character than his previous yacht.”

In a subtle nod to the Big Apple, the external side decks are large enough for two people to comfortably walk abreast, and the New York skyline is outlined in polished stainless-steel on the upper deck bar stools. A more overt example of the theme is the plated stainless-steel Phoenix sculpture on the bow, which is a direct representation of the eagles on the Chrysler building.

“The owner wanted his yacht to be longer than his friend’s, so we welded and bolted on a 16-foot phoenix figurehead on the bow,” Andrew Winch told Robb Report . “It’s absolutely enormous, weighs 5.5 tons and gave the owner the extra 16 feet he was looking for.”

The interior keeps to four main colors—black, cream, gold and burgundy—with high-gloss macassar wood and gold leaf used to reflect 1920s glamor.

Adjacent is a round room with a reinforced floor where a custom black-and-gold Steinway piano sits. Designed as a one-off, it has a phoenix emblazoned on its side and took two years to build. The crew of 28 include a pianist and guitarist, as well as a massage therapist and chocolatier.

“The owner was a consummate host and Phoenix 2 was all about dining, music and entertainment,” says Winch. “He liked to think that his dinner guests became the orchestra, while he was seated at the head as the conductor.”

The yacht also has a spa, gym and hammam for relaxation. A wine cellar is stocked with the finest Italian and Bordeaux wines. The owner’s love of art is evident in the yacht’s prized collection, including a Modigliani in one of the guest suites.

The art-deco theme continues in the lower-deck cinema. On the top deck is a second outdoor cinema and a swimming pool with portholes in the floor to allow natural light to fill the staterooms below. The forward master suite is spread across two levels.

On the main deck is the bedroom, dressing room and ensuite, with another elaborate mural and a vanity table with refrigerated cosmetic drawers. A private spiral staircase leads to the owner’s deck with an observation lounge and office where a desk made from high gloss macassar and mother of pearl inlay takes pride of place.

“The owner felt the panoramic views would be wasted on a master bedroom where he wouldn’t spend as much time,” says Dixon. “A private lounge gives him another level of privacy and is the room the family enjoy spending time in the most.”

One of the few changes made since the original design is an extension to the swim platform. Though the principal didn’t live to enjoy his yacht for as long as hoped, his family has cruised Europe and the Caribbean. “The yacht crosses the Atlantic every year,” Captain Ian Howcroft told Robb Report .

For sale for $134 million with yacht broker Burgess, Phoenix 2 is ready to rise from the ashes and give a modern Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan a chance to foxtrot around the high seas.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Burgess showcased $200m+ worth of yachts in Palm Beach

The superyacht community attended the first major superyacht show of the year: the Palm Beach International Boat Show (March 23 – 26). Set in downtown West Palm Beach, the show welcomed more than 800 yachts with an impressive value of more than $1.2 billion.

A large chunk of that figure was attributed to the leading broker house, Burgess , which brought a stellar line-up of superyachts that are available for sale and charter as well as a number of experts from the firm’s in-house team.

Any current or potential client of Burgess has access to any broker from the firm’s 14 global offices. “Our brokers are always on hand to share their market insights, lead private yacht tours and provide a 360-degree service,” says Jonathan Beckett, Burgess’ CEO.

Professional and experienced brokers

In attendance at the Palm Beach International Boat Show were the brokers for the likes of the 71.7-metre $69,500,000 explorer yacht Kogo and the 55-metre Amels 180 Limited Editions yacht PAPA . Asking €41 million, PAPA is a fine example of one of the many successful charter yachts that have stayed under the management of Burgess since her 2019 delivery.

“As the business has evolved from traditional brokerage into a full-service superyacht company, our best employees in all areas of the business are on the front line, running important customer and business relationships,” says Beckett.

The firm’s rounded approach means clients can receive expertise in all areas of the superyacht sector, including charter management, operational management, insurance and crew. “Despite selling 380 yachts since 2007, Burgess’ range of services doesn’t stop at yacht sales,” adds Beckett.

Burgess’ global network of experts

A huge benefit of turning to Burgess for any of these services is receiving the help and attention of the company’s entire employee network. When a client solicits the services of one of Burgess’ employed brokers, they’ll benefit from the accurate knowledge of at least 30 brokers, and any other in-house expert – such as charter manager, technical advisor, or new-build manager – that may be required. This way, Burgess provides its clients with a “one-stop-shop” for their entire superyacht journey.

“We sell yachts faster than the industry average, and manage more yacht assets than any other specialist,” adds Beckett. “And we look after them as if they were our own.”

Big numbers

With 122 yachts currently listed for charter and over $2 billion worth of yachts sold in 2022, there are many clients who can vouch for the company’s success rate. “I believe Burgess looks at its clients as long-term partners rather than just another transaction, which is why they are successful,” says one yacht owner and long-time client of Burgess.
