Chris Cecil-Wright

Spear’s Review

Chris Cecil-Wright is a yacht specialist who founded his own firm, Cecil Wright & Partners, in 2013 after spending 17 years at Edmiston. He has a particular love for Feadship, but the relationship with the client comes first, a principle that has seen him become one of the most influential brokers in the superyacht class.

‘Being a specialist is an important, substantial value-add that I can provide,’ he tells Spear’s. ‘I have developed and continue to develop a deep knowledge of the industry.’

‘Fewer clients, serviced better’ is the company’s ethos, and Cecil Wright & Partners has remained a boutique business for the sake of agility since its inception. At the same time, it provides a wide range of services, from buying and selling to chartering, management and representing owners who want to build their own vessel.
