AYM was established in 2019 to provide yacht management support to clients, family offices, trust companies and yacht & crew managers. Regulation and legislation surrounding yacht ownership and management is constantly changing and increasing in complexity. AYM are passionate about enhancing clients’ in-house yachting expertise and improving service delivery. We can help with a discreet back-office style approach or work in a direct client facing capacity. Dan Armsden, founder of AYM, has an extensive background in the maritime industry, working at sea and ashore, a BEng degree in Naval Architecture and 11 years at a specialist yacht management company as a director and Head of Crew Services & Yacht Technical looking after some of the largest (and smallest) yachts in the world. During this time, Dan has built up a strong network of maritime connections to help clients overcome problems with an efficient and forward-thinking approach.
