With over 35 years in the super yacht industry, I am a passionate business development specialist and entrepreneur who helps clients achieve their goals with innovative and bespoke technology solutions. I am the managing partner at VFA Land & Sea, a company that offers consultancy and technical management for luxury motor yachts and estates in the areas of audio visual, IT, communications, security, and HVAC systems.

I started my career as an electrical and electronics engineer at Honeywell, and then became the first modern day ETO for super yachts in 1994. After working as the technology manager for a fleet of yachts that included Ecstasea, Pelorus, Luna, and Eclipse, I founded Bond Technology Management in 2006, which now has a staff of 50 and offices in six locations. In 2019, I also launched a new venture to improve the air quality and health of yacht owners and crew. I love working in this industry and having a team that makes a difference.

It was indeed 14 years ago I was part of the initial Chartworld shareholders. I learned a great deal during this journey and there is still much to learn and share.

TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

It feels both surreal and meaningful to write this note. After 14 years with ChartWorld the time has come for me to close this chapter.

My sincere gratitude goes to my fellow shareholders – your confidence in me, turned an idea into a success story. Thank you again for everything. 
 
I will miss the daily collaboration and the spirit we created together, but I’m excited to watch the companies next achievements from the sidelines.

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and successful 2026.

🎤 Introducing the next TECHTalk at the Superyacht Technology Conference!

“Sounding Secure: Stopping AI Voice Cloning on Superyachts”

In this TECHTalk, Charles Bain and Lorna Di Lieto from Computer Network Defence Ltd (CND) will unpack how AI-driven voice cloning and deepfake attacks are being used to manipulate crews, trigger fraudulent actions and exploit the pressure of onboard operations.

Using real maritime incidents, they show how convincingly fake voices are already bypassing onboard trust  and why that matters when decisions are made in seconds.

This is one not to miss!

Who in Monaco would be interested to attend this show?

Project SailXplorer is redefining what an explorer sailing yacht can be. Launching at the Superyacht Technology Conference, this talk introduces the world’s first true explorer sailing yacht - a platform designed from the ground up for long-range exploration, research and real-world operation.

Conceived to balance advanced naval engineering, sustainability and onboard practicality, #SailXplorer challenges traditional assumptions about what exploration yachts are — and what they’re capable of.

Join Dominique and Andrés as they unveil the vision, engineering and intent behind Project SailXplorer, and explain how a single, uncompromising concept led to a new category of sailing yacht.

🗣️ Captain & Project Manager, Dominique Geysen. Author of ODO-SMS© (Onboard Dive Operations Safety Management System) and experienced yacht and tall ships captain for more than 25 years.
🗣️ Concept Designer & Project Manager, Andrés Otano Alonso. Naval and Oceanic Engineer, specialised in yacht design - Young Designer of the Year Award finalist 2022 and 2024.

This isn’t a design exercise. It’s a new approach to exploration at sea.

Pulse Cinemas

Pulse Cinemas has been pushing the boundaries of distribution and marketing since its conception in 2003, constantly thinking outside the box to encourage growth, not only as a company, but also keeping a focus on the whole industry, aiming to educate consumers and professionals alike.

Distribution
We have chosen a portfolio of exclusive, non-conflicting brands – focussing on home cinema and custom install products. All of our brands have been carefully chosen over the years to fit perfectly together, with ease-of-install, reliability, quality, value and compatibility all deciding factors. We have an excellent reputation around the world for developing and growing brands, spending as much time on service, education and support as sales. Our staff are not only specially chosen for their experience and knowledge, but also their positive attitude and willingness to help.

Education
We hosts training events for the industry professionals: ISF video calibration, HAA room acoustics and calibration courses help to make sure systems are correctly configured each and every time.
Pulse Cinemas has its own Technical Team that can offer full support across the range of products – phone, email and even on-site support where needed. The first time a dealer purchases a product from Pulse, a member of the Technical Team will be available to guide the dealer through the installation of the product, ensuring that they are fully confident in future custom installs.

Specification
We offer help to our dealers who need it – making sure that every one of our products is installed successfully and the client is more than satisfied. We take part in initial site surveys as technical back up for the dealer, produce detailed technical drawings, and even generate 3D drawings of the proposed system. This all helps our dealers to close the sale, maintain profit margin as products are correctly specified, and takes the stress out of the installation and calibration as we are there to help.
