Senior figures from independent trust and corporate services provider, Knox House Trust , will be attending the 28th Monaco Yacht Show later this month.

The action in Port Hercules takes place from September 26 to 29.

And other business representatives from the island are likely to be heading that way too.

KHT, based in Finch Road, Douglas, will be showcasing its expertise and comprehensive range of award-winning services at the prestigious superyacht event.

The team will once again be led by business development director James Porter, who also heads up Knox House Marine & Aviation (a division of Knox House Trust), and is a regular visitor to the show.

The firm took the decision to expand its crewing services to better fulfil the needs and goals of its clients, and offer an enhanced range of specialist marine services.

James Porter said: ‘We have worked hard to establish ourselves as a major player within the superyacht industry, most known for our innovative approach to bespoke ownership solutions.

‘But as client needs change, we also have to adapt and evolve our services.

‘Monaco regularly attracts senior industry leaders, yacht owners and potential buyers, along with captains and crew from around the globe; hence we felt that the show provides the perfect platform for promoting our recently expanded offering which incorporates two new services, Crew Payroll and Crew Recruitment.’

Building upon the goals of the show’s organisers last year to attract an increased number of wealthy families and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), Monaco Yacht Show has continued this focus for 2018 with a superyacht lifestyle theme.

The event will also include exhibits of luxury assets such as prestige cars and artwork. As a result of this, managing director Anthony Page, who also heads up KHT’s Family Office division, will join James at the event.

Mr Page said: ‘KHT’s global client base is diverse and expanding, so attending events such as Monaco Yacht Show is vital for brand exposure and promoting our wide range of corporate, fiduciary and specialist services.

‘Our strength lies in the depth of our experience, understanding and technical knowledge.

‘We have proven capabilities in managing and preserving wealth for families and UHNWIs across a broad spectrum of high value assets such as luxury yachts, cars, art and much more.

‘As a result, both James and I look forward to meeting with potential clients in Monaco, and assisting them in navigating the complexities of purchasing high value assets.’
