About
Charter, the way it
should feel
Our story
I'm Oliver, founder of Onyx Collection.
Over a decade in the superyacht industry taught me what it takes to create something genuinely unforgettable. I've curated experiences for some of the most recognisable names in music, sport and business, from milestone birthdays and family charters to week-long celebrations. The common thread has always been the same: understanding the guest well enough to anticipate what they need before they ask.
It also showed me where chartering can fall short. A yacht is booked, a preference sheet is completed, and much of the experience is then left to the crew. We believe it should be more considered than that.
Onyx stays involved from the first conversation until the end of your trip. We take the time to understand how you like to travel, what matters to you and what will make the experience exceptional, then proactively take care of the details around it.
We know the waters that matter to our clients, from the French Riviera and Balearic Islands to Italy, Sardinia and the Caribbean, alongside our home waters in the UK. These are places we know personally, with first-hand knowledge of the yachts, crews, anchorages and the details that can make a trip.
We start with you, understand what you're looking for, then find the yacht that fits. Sometimes that will be a yacht we already know well. Sometimes it will come through our wider industry relationships.
We stay small on purpose.
Our business is built on relationships, first-hand knowledge and taking the time to find the right yacht for each client.
What we stand for
Three things we won't compromise on
Relationships over inventory
Our business is built on relationships. We know the yachts we recommend, the people behind them and the crews who operate them. That first-hand knowledge means we can recommend with confidence, rather than simply presenting what happens to be available.
Advice before the booking
Our job isn't to sell you a yacht. It's to understand what you want from your trip and find the right fit. Sometimes that means a different yacht, destination or time of year. We'll always tell you what we genuinely think.
One person, throughout
From your first enquiry until the end of your trip, you deal with one person who knows you, your plans and your booking. We stay involved, anticipate what you might need and take responsibility for the details.
