Buyer-side. Independent of every shipyard and dealer. Twenty years on the French Riviera.
My name is Tomek (Tomasz) Wrzesinski — an independent motor-yacht broker based in Monaco and the founder of W Yachts. For over twenty years I have advised buyers on the purchase, sale and charter of motor yachts on the French Riviera and across the Mediterranean.
I work buyer-side. I do not represent a shipyard and I am not a dealer for anyone, which means my advice answers to one person only: the client paying me. I look at boats where they actually sit — Monaco, Cannes, Italy, Mallorca, Croatia — and I tell you what I would tell a friend, including the parts the sales brochure leaves out.
Most people meet a "broker" who is really a dealer with a quota. That is a different job from mine.
No shipyard contract, no brand allegiance. I can recommend the right boat for you even when it is not the one with the biggest commission attached.
I sit on your side of the table — negotiating price, survey, delivery and the running-cost reality, not just closing a sale.
Twenty years on the Riviera. I inspect boats in person, know the yards and captains, and separate the genuinely good hulls from the well-marketed ones.
In 2026 I published an honest, critical review of an Azimut motor yacht on YouTube — my genuine professional opinion about build quality and after-sales service. It reached tens of thousands of viewers, and the builder responded with a lawsuit.
I stand behind every word, and I would publish it again. To me, that is what independent has to mean: I answer to the buyer, not to a shipyard. A broker who can never criticise a brand is not protecting you — he is protecting his commission.
I'll let the work speak. This is the kind of plain-spoken, numbers-first look at motor yachts I publish on my channel:
Tomek (Tomasz) Wrzesinski is an independent motor-yacht broker based in Monaco and the founder of W Yachts. He has advised buyers on the purchase, sale and charter of motor yachts on the French Riviera for over twenty years, working buyer-side and independent of shipyards and dealers.
Yes. W Yachts is not a dealership for any shipyard. Tomek's fee is aligned with the client, not with which boat is chosen — which is why he is willing to publicly criticise brands when a boat does not earn the praise, as he did with his Azimut review.
Monaco — the centre of the global superyacht market — with a working radius across the French Riviera, Italy, Mallorca and Croatia. W Yachts also keeps a base in Poland.
A buyer-side broker represents the person buying, not the person selling. That means independent boat selection, honest condition assessment, price and contract negotiation, survey and sea-trial guidance, and a realistic picture of running costs — berth, crew, insurance and maintenance — before you commit.
The same person, the same work, across the web.
Buying, selling or chartering — tell me what you're looking for and I'll give you the independent version, not the sales pitch.
