A history of Burgess

With text by Kevin Koenig, foreword by Jonathan Beckett, Burgess CEO and 170 images over 232 pages, this hardcover book provides a history of the Burgess brand and its business spanning all facets of yachting.

It started with one man’s dream: to establish a yacht brokerage based on a protocol of integrity, discretion and client care never seen before.

Founded in 1975 by Nigel Burgess, a renowned solo ocean racer with an obsessive eye for detail and a passion for the sea, Burgess today is a global company providing 360-degree service, from yacht building or brokering to charter and management.

Under the watchful eye of Burgess’s successor, the inimitable Jonathan “Joff” Beckett, Burgess has grown into a true standard-bearer in the maritime world.
