I’m Richy, the founder of Richy’s Luxury Yacht Hire. I started out in car rentals, where I learned how much the little things matter. People want clear answers, an easy booking process, and confidence that everything’s sorted before the day. When I bought my first yacht, I started thinking about how I could bring that same approach onto the water.
What drew me to yacht hire was the chance to help people get their favourite people together and see Sydney from a different perspective. A birthday with your mates feels different to a wedding or a work event. I wanted people to have a day on the harbour that felt like theirs.
That’s still what matters to me today. Whether you speak with me or someone on the team, I want you to feel looked after from the first enquiry. By the time you step aboard, the details should be sorted so you can spend the day with the people you brought together.
