Four crafts,
one single continuity.
From day-to-day compliance to crew management, our teams cover every aspect of a vessel's life — no invisible subcontracting, no transfer of accountability.
Cursorio operates four crafts around private superyachts and family-office-owned yachts. Each is available as a one-off mission or integrated into a management mandate on a monthly retainer. Click on a service to reach its detailed description, 7-step method, use cases and FAQ.
Yacht management
The full management mandate for private superyacht and family office.
Finance, crew, ISM compliance, flag, insurance: Cursorio operates the full mandate so your vessel stays in order, permanently, without you having to attend to it.
- Full management mandate on a monthly retainer
- Costed entry audit over 2 to 5 days
- 24/7 on-call for Owner and Captain
- Signed monthly reporting, readable in 10 minutes
Crew & MLC 2006
Contracts, multi-currency payroll, MLC compliance, rotations and crew crises.
Recruitment, Seafarer Employment Agreements, rest hours register, STCW certifications, medical repatriation: the complete administration of your crew, without your captain spending evenings on Excel.
- SEA contracts aligned with each flag
- Monthly multi-currency payroll (USD, EUR, GBP, AUD)
- WRH register maintained and MLC 2006 compliant
- Crew agency network + direct talent pool
ISM & ISPS audit
Pre-audits, corrective plans, externalised DPA — pass the official audit without surprise.
We identify non-conformities before the flag auditor, close the gaps within 6 weeks, and can hold the Designated Person Ashore (DPA) function for owners who prefer not to structure it in-house.
- Full ISM pre-audit compliant with IMO A.1022(26)
- ISPS pre-audit with Ship Security Plan review
- Externalised DPA declared to the flag
- Active DPA mandate under Marshall Islands flag
Flag & insurance
Flag strategy, annual H&M / P&I tender — zero commission received from the market.
Flag choice and management (Cayman, Marshall, Isle of Man, Malta, France), design of the H&M, P&I, War Risks programme, claims handling. Strictly retainer-based compensation, no commission from any insurer or broker.
- Independent flag advice, free from registry ties
- Annual tender with the London market
- P&I placement with an International Group Club
- Contractualised independence: zero kickback
A significant part of Cursorio's client base consists of UK-based family offices and trusts holding their vessel under a Cayman Islands, Isle of Man or Marshall Islands flag. Our teams are fully operational in English, fluent in Common Law ownership structures, and work regularly with London market insurers — Lloyd's syndicates, International Group P&I Clubs — for H&M and P&I placements.
Based in Le Cannet on the French Riviera, we offer something that London-based management firms cannot: genuine on-site presence in the main Mediterranean superyacht hubs — Antibes, Cannes, Monaco, Saint-Tropez — with direct access to class surveyors (Bureau Veritas, RINA, Lloyd's Register) and port authorities in the region. We board the vessel. We attend the surveys. We are there.
Each mandate is run in English from day one: contracts, crew correspondence, monthly reports, flag authority filings. No translation lag, no lost nuance, no ambiguity in a safety-critical exchange.
