Yachting Partners International, parent company of the YPI Group, is one of the world’s leading full–service yacht brokerage houses, providing comprehensive support and guidance to those engaged in the commissioning, buying, owning, selling or chartering of motor and sailing yachts over 25 metres in length. Now an integral part of the 150-year old and world renowned shipbroking group, Barry Rogliano Salles (www.brs-paris.com ), the YPI Group enjoys a reputation founded on an unfaltering commitment to protecting the interests of its clients.
