Megayacht News Radio: Peter Hürzeler of Ocean Independence

In partnership with Nicholas Dean, Peter Hürzeler runs Ocean Independence, one of the world's leading companies focusing on yacht brokerage, charter, management, and new construction. With more than 30 years of experience in yachting, Peter has seen a lot of highs as well as lows in the industry. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact especially on superyacht charter and traditional boat shows, leading to a lot of uncertainty among business professionals and customers alike. Even with that uncertainty, though, Peter believes there are positive signs on the horizon. 

In this episode of Megayacht News Radio, Peter discusses these as well as: 

• how yacht charter has evolved to become family-focused and experience-driven
• how Ocean Independence's charter brokers are managing the current situation, and how clients feel about booking in uncertain times
• how yacht buying has evolved in both the brokerage sector and the new-construction sector
• whether Ocean Independence has pivoted its strategies to create a new type of customer service.
