In this news:
The Kitson Yachts team, founded by young, ambitious professionals, is headed by Michael Tabor and ... More Brandon Kummer. Posting big numbers since their quick start in 2021, they are forging their business strategy as a Family Office concierge, focused on yachting.
Kitson Yachts
They’re young. They’re driven. And they’re focused. Kitson Yachts was founded in 2021, just four years ago, but they’re already ranked second among U.S. yacht brokerage firms in number of yachts over 164 feet sold between 2022 and 2024. They’ve sold half of all preowned Feadships that have come to market, 2015 or newer, since 2021. Kitson’s sales made up 8 percent of the total number of yachts over 230 feet sold to U.S. clients between 2022 and 2024. There’s more.
Two of the three co-founders, Michael Tabor and Brandon Kummer, made five sales totaling over 240 feet in less than two years. Brandon was the first broker younger than 32 to sell three Feadships. Feadship Royal Dutch Shipyards is one of the leading superyacht shipbuilders.
Kitson’s average yacht charter transaction size is $1.3 million, with an average charter boat length of 228 feet. Their average sale transaction features yachts over 164 feet. In late February, Kitson announced the successful sale of the under-construction, 240-foot Admiral Yacht Project Il Primo, acting as the seller’s representative.
Partnership With TISG And A Stylish Kitson Miami Office
The Italian Sea Group CEO Giovanni Costantino formalized the partnership between TISG and Kitson ... More Yachts, strengthening the relationship that already has two major mega-yachts in build at Admiral, one measuring 240-feet and a second measuring 288-feet
The Italian Sea Group
Adding to the strong resume for this young firm, Kitson recently signed a partnership with TISG, The Italian Sea Group, as the authorized sales agency for North, South, and Central America. TISG is the parent company for Admiral, Tecnomar, Perini Navi, Picchiotti, NCA Refit, and Celi yacht brands. TISG delivered more than $440 million in revenues for 2024 and has more than 700 employees working on seven European production sites.
