Yachting Partners International (YPI) is pleased to announce the opening of a new London office. Situated in the heart of Mayfair, the new office represents a further step in YPI’s ongoing expansion by enhancing and developing the company’s presence in the UK. Specialising in yacht brokerage and marketing, the YPI London team offer expertise to new and existing clients in the UK and worldwide. We are delighted to announce the appointment of Mark Hilpern and Tamsin Vaughan.

Mark Hilpern joins YPI as Sales and Purchase Broker, bringing 25 years of experience in yacht brokerage and new build. With expansive market knowledge and a wide-ranging skillset, Mark has worked with the world’s best shipyards and been involved with the construction, sale and purchase of many iconic yachts over the course of his career. He has also circumnavigated the globe twice onboard his 43ft sloop. 

Working alongside Mark, Tamsin Vaughan takes on the role of Associate. While her primary focus will be on sales and new build for new and existing clients, she will also specialise in exploration and adventure experiences, introducing owners and charter guests to exhilarating new yachting itineraries in remote, off-the-beaten destinations. Tamsin comes to YPI after 5½ years at a busy yacht brokerage house. She previously worked in creative, marketing, retail strategy and brand development for Porto Montenegro.
