Maria Razumi, co-founder of Smart Yachts Monaco, joins NEWS.MC to talk about her company, the changing yachting market and life working from the Principality.
Razumi describes how she moved into yachting after growing up in Moscow, where she attended a French school and studied economics, and how she and her business partner Julia set up a boutique company with a small team in Monaco. They help clients research and buy the right boat, negotiate better prices thanks to their knowledge of the market, and provide extra services along the way.
She also discusses how the industry has changed in recent years, initiatives promoted by the Yacht Club de Monaco, the appeal of smaller yachts with big-boat amenities, and why, for all her travelling to shipyards, she calls Monaco home.
