Levent Baktir

Founder / Chairman

"On behalf of our unique and strong team, I welcome you to Superyacht Group. I have built and cultivated a vast network, blending and growing with the strengths of the colleagues and partners who joined our ship on its way."

Founding purpose was quite simple: to share the experiences we gained on the oceans, within the world's leading yacht and maritime management companies, in the largest and most luxurious marinas and destinations.

It is both a privilege and a mission for us to share this know-how with especially young individuals pursuing a career at sea. We will continue to be a gathering place for people who dream of the outer Solar System, not of reaching a known planet.
