Sanlorenzo strengthens UK sales team

Luxury yacht specialist Sanlorenzo Yachts UK has strengthened its sales and brokerage operation with the appointment of Joe Hill as senior sales broker and brokerage director.

Joe brings almost 30 years’ experience across the marine industry and joins from a British motor yacht manufacturer, where he spent 11 years specialising in luxury yacht sales and the large yacht market.

His career began working aboard yachts, including several years as a professional captain, before he moved into new yacht sales and brokerage.

In his new role, Joe will represent the full Sanlorenzo and Bluegame fleets while helping expand the company’s brokerage offering in the larger yacht sector.

He will work with clients throughout the ownership journey, from initial consultation and model selection through to Sanlorenzo’s collaborative design and build process.

Joe, who will primarily be based at Sanlorenzo Yachts UK’s showroom on Park Lane in Mayfair, in London, said: “I’m delighted to be joining Sanlorenzo Yachts UK.

“Sanlorenzo’s reputation for design, quality and bespoke yacht building is well established, and I’m looking forward to being part of the team, working with existing owners and introducing new clients to the brand.

“This is an exciting opportunity to bring my experience to a company with such a strong product and clear ambition for growth, and I look forward to contributing to the continued development of Sanlorenzo Yachts UK.”

Sanlorenzo Yachts UK is part of the Ancasta Group and represents Sanlorenzo’s range of yachts and superyachts, alongside its Bluegame brand, across the UK and Ireland.

Nick Hatfield, managing director of Sanlorenzo Yachts UK, added: “Joe is an important addition to our sales and brokerage operation.

“His extensive experience across the luxury yacht market, combined with his time as a captain, gives him invaluable insight into the practicalities of owning a larger yacht.

“As we continue to increase Sanlorenzo’s market share in the UK, Joe’s knowledge will further enhance the specialist advice we can offer clients and support our wider growth strategy in the 100ft-plus yacht sector.”
