The Monaco Hive, Where the Superyacht World Gets to Work
Right in the heart of Monaco, something is always buzzing, a living structure with organic geometry until all is delivered right.
Under Monaco’s sun-washed sky, the honeycomb lattice casts its service patterns across the beach of Larvotto.
At Royal Yacht International, the atmosphere often feels like a buzzing hive. A place where experience, ambition, and genuine passion for the celestialyachting lifestyle come together every day.
in the heart of Monaco, something is always buzzing
From the first call in the morning to the final negotiations and busy things late in the evening, the team works in brokerage, charter, yacht management, and new construction with a very human focus.
Behind every yacht is an owner’s vision, a captain’s dedication, and a guest experience waiting to happen. The role of the team is to bring all of that together smoothly, happily surprise owners, put passion and expertise to deliver beyond expectations.
The fleet itself reflects that momentum. Today, Royal Yacht International manages around 30 Central Agency yachts, including some of the most recognized names on the water.
Among them are the 88m iconic Maltese Falcon, in partnership with Jumeirah, the impressive and well-loved Benetti Triumph, the elegant Benetti Lioness V, the distinctive Amels Deep Blue, the brand new Benetti Legend, along with a growing portfolio of yachts that shape the global charter scene.
Guiding this hive is Chairman Tommaso Chiabra, whose entrepreneurial vision and international relationships have helped position the company as a trusted name in the superyacht market. Working closely alongside him is CEO Manuele Thiella, whose structured leadership and deep industry expertise keep operations precise, dynamic, and client-centric.
leadership combines strategy with a strong people-first culture
Together, their leadership combines strategy with a strong people-first culture. The result is a collaborative environment where brokers, managers, and advisors move with the same rhythm, working toward the shared goal of delivering real value to owners and charter guests.
Another important force strengthening the hive is Francesco Orlando, the company’s new Partner, COO and Head of Charter Retail. Known in the industry for closing complex multimillion charter deals, he brings a sharp negotiating instinct and a deep understanding of the charter market. Beyond the brokerage table, Francesco has also become a recognizable voice for the next generation of yachting enthusiasts. Through his media presence under @yachtprofessor_ita, he shares insights into the superyacht world, helping future charterers and buyers better understand the market while naturally expanding the reach of the Royal Yacht International ecosystem.
Beautiful people, stunning looks, shining souls, but above all dedicated professionals who share a deep respect for the sea and the people who live their lives around it. The strength of the hive is not only in experience or reputation. It is in the chemistry of a team that genuinely enjoys working together and supporting one another through the complexity of the superyacht world.
With headquarters in Monaco and strong operational branches in Miami and Dubai, Royal Yacht International connects three of the most influential yachting hubs in the world. This global presence allows the company to stay close to its clients while navigating opportunities across continents.
The hive also celebrates milestones. In 2026, the company successfully completed the sale of the remarkable Admiral yacht designed by Giorgio Armani, a project that brought together iconic Italian design with modern superyacht engineering.
what truly makes Royal Yacht International stand out is the team
What truly makes Royal Yacht International stand out is not only the fleet, the deals, or the global footprint. It is the team. Like a well-organized hive, every individual contributes a unique strength, yet the collective effort creates something far greater than the sum of its parts.
There is a certain magic in that rhythm. And don’t ask for the magic sauce, but certainly goes around the people, the higher managerial team, and down.
the bees of the Monaco hive quietly, consistently, passionately keep the entire ecosystem thriving
A culture built on trust, instinct, experience, and a shared love for the sea. You might call it the company’s secret sauce, but in truth, it lives within the people themselves. The bees of the Monaco hive who quietly, consistently, and passionately keep the entire ecosystem thriving. 🐝zzzzzz
