About Yacht & Boat
Who we are

Our history – and why Y&B works differently from traditional brokers
Yacht & Boot was founded by Michel Mahlo, who has been working in the maritime sector since 2003. During his time with various brokers, he repeatedly encountered the same problems: unreliable processes, a lack of transparency, and outdated working methods.
Für Michel war klar: So darf Bootsvermittlung nicht funktionieren. Es geht besser – deutlich besser:
Klare Verträge statt Unsicherheiten. Geprüfte Boote statt Überraschungen. Treuhandgeschützte Zahlung (SecurePay) statt Abwicklungsrisiko. Strukturierte Prozesse statt Chaos. Echte Beratung statt Floskeln.
Michel and the Y&B team's love of water sports and enthusiasm drive them every day to make boat brokerage more modern, fair, and customer-oriented.
