Berthon Spain Office
Berthon Spain is located in vibrant Palma de Mallorca, the heart of the Western Mediterranean yachting scene. Managing Director Andrew Fairbrass spent many years as a yacht captain before moving ashore to establish Sentinel Yachting, which offered local yachtsmen high-quality refit and repair services, as well as comprehensive guardiennage packages. In September 2018, Sentinel Yachting joined our ranks to become Berthon Spain. Since then, the company has gone from strength to strength. Simon Turner, formerly with Northrop & Johnson Spain, now heads up Berthon Spain Yacht Sales alongside Andrew Fairbrass and, more recently, Henk Sijbranda. As yacht brokers, they work closely with Berthon HQ in the UK. The fleet of brokerage yachts is expanding, both in the Balearic Islands and on the mainland. The service and guardiennage side of the business has grown so significantly since 2018 that it’s now hard to visit Palma without seeing the Berthon crew in action.

Our Man in Italy
Our representative in Italy is as yacht mad as the rest of the Berthon Sales Group team.
Filippo spent his childhood sailing in Tuscany. He started with dinghies, working his way up to IOR and ULDB classes and eventually becoming a sailing instructor at the SCO, Orbetello. Filippo went on to enjoy, excel and win in both the Italian and the European Baltic Cup championships, repeatedly. Following a corporate career in marketing, Filippo returned to his love of the sea and boats, working first for Cantiere del Pardo and then as a maritime yacht broker.
Filippo has a wealth of experience in the yachting industry, brokerage and in just about everything you might need to know about buying a yacht.
