About Us

Your guiding light through the storm.

At Foreland Marine, we provide yacht management and marine engineering consultancy across the full lifecycle of a superyacht project, from acquisition and new build through to refit, optimisation and ongoing management. Based in London, with a network of experienced professionals in Antibes, Palma de Mallorca, Fort Lauderdale, Antigua, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and other key maritime centres, we operate with both global reach and local insight.

Our team works closely with owners, captains and project stakeholders to ensure each vessel is delivered, maintained and operated to the highest standard. Whether overseeing complex refit programmes, supporting new build development, advising on vessel purchase, or refining performance on the race course, our approach is measured, practical and detail driven. The focus remains on protecting the owner's interests while enabling efficient, well coordinated project execution.

The company takes its name from the South Foreland Lighthouse in Kent, a historic navigational landmark that has guided vessels into the Thames Estuary since the 17th century and later played a role in the first ship to shore wireless communication. That heritage underpins our ethos: to provide clear direction, dependable oversight and steady guidance through the complexities of modern yacht ownership and operation.
