Christoph Ph. Schließmann Marks 15 Years of Superyacht Advisory with Der Yacht-Anwalt

Prof. Dr. Christoph Ph. Schließmann founded CPS Schließmann's specialist advisory for large yachts and superyachts about 15 years ago in Frankfurt. Operating under the brand “Der Yacht‑Anwalt”, the service provides comprehensive legal, tax and economic structuring throughout a vessel’s entire life cycle.

Schließmann explains that a purchase contract is only a small part of the risk picture. Issues also involve ownership, financing, flag and registration, VAT/customs, usage, charter, crew, insurance, operation, succession and eventual exit. Over the years the approach has proven effective as superyacht projects have become more international, tax‑sensitive, regulatorily demanding and operationally complex. The advisory now covers purchase and sale, new‑build and refit, ownership and holding structures, VAT and temporary admission, flag and registration matters, crew and management, charter, ongoing operation, dispute handling, succession planning and exit strategies.
