A superyacht is only as exceptional as the crew who run it. VIPMAKKI provides elite crew placement, bespoke provisioning, and comprehensive port logistics — ensuring your vessel operates at the pinnacle of excellence from the French Riviera to the Caribbean.
Every aspect of superyacht operations — from the captain at the helm to the champagne in the cooler — falls under the VIPMAKKI standard. We source, vet, place, provision, and manage so you can focus on the voyage.
VIPMAKKI's crew placement division operates with the rigour of an executive search firm. Every candidate — from seasoned captains with 20,000+ nautical miles to Michelin-trained private chefs — undergoes multi-stage vetting including verified references, criminal background checks, ENG1 medical certification, and practical skills assessment. We place permanent, seasonal, and relief crew across all departments: deck, engineering, interior, galley, and specialist roles including dive instructors, wellness practitioners, and security personnel. Our database spans 85+ nationalities, ensuring the perfect cultural and linguistic fit for your vessel and guests.

The galley of a superyacht must rival any Michelin-starred kitchen on land. VIPMAKKI's provisioning network spans the globe's premier maritime hubs — Antibes, Fort Lauderdale, Palma de Mallorca, and beyond — delivering everything from Beluga caviar and Kobe beef to rare vintages from Bordeaux and custom floral arrangements. We work directly with your chef to source impossible-to-find ingredients, manage dietary requirements with surgical precision, and ensure every meal served aboard is an event. Our logistics team handles customs clearance, cold-chain management, and last-mile delivery to any anchorage or marina worldwide.
Explore Fine DiningBerthing a superyacht requires precision planning that begins months in advance. VIPMAKKI manages the entire port logistics chain: marina reservations at the most exclusive berths during high season (Monaco GP weekend, St Barths New Year, Cannes Film Festival), bunkering arrangements, waste disposal, shore-power connections, tender and toy management, crew immigration and visa processing, and security coordination. Our relationships with harbour masters from Porto Cervo to Port Hercule mean your vessel is never without a home — even when every marina appears full. We also manage regulatory compliance, flag-state documentation, and insurance coordination.
