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.
 
I am deeply grateful for the trust, hard work, and resilience we have shared. Building and growing this company together has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my professional life.
 
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.
