Churchill Yacht Partners

Yacht charter & charter management company, Churchill Yacht Partners (CYP), is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Churchill Companies, a privately held investment firm based in Minneapolis, MN with a diversified portfolio of operating companies. The parent company recognized the need for a sales brokerage, retail yacht charter, and charter management company specializing in high-end sailing and motor yachts. They formed Churchill Yacht Partners in 2004 as a boutique yacht brokerage, charter management & marketing, and yacht charter operation in Newport, RI.

After a successful first year, CYP expanded by opening an office at the Bahia Mar Resort & Marina in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. To add to the company’s yacht brokerage and charter management & marketing services, the company acquired Rikki Davis Yachts, a privately owned industry leading yacht charter firm for more than three decades.

Rikki Davis was active with the company until her passing in 2014. The company continues to successfully operate as a boutique charter and charter management firm with a reputation for catering to the needs of an exclusive, discerning clientele requiring absolute discretion and security.  The continued growth is built on customer satisfaction with their yacht charters and subsequent referrals to friends and family for their future yachting vacations.
