Sail Interview with Jonathan Browne


Power To Sail are not your ordinary yacht brokers. Tey are also charter brokers, crew agents and, believe it or not, they supply eco-fiendly cleaning products and toiletries to the yachting industry. Jonathan Browne formed the company in 2006 when he felt the time was right to start this kind of a business and the opportunity arose to secure the lease on an office in a prime location in Antibes on the French Riviera.

aving worked with Ferretti, Pershing, Riva and Azimut, Jonathan Browne specialised in these brands when he started Power To Sail, but his diverse interests and willingness to innovate keep


leading him in new directions. For example, as deal makers, he says, “We have a number of clients who will often buy boats from vendors who want to move up and cannot sell their existing boats, or we structure the deal in such a way that the vendor will take a part exchange as part payment against future payments.” And that’s just the beginning.
