Marine Services Overview
Structured Ownership. Careful Administration. Trusted Coordination.
Fiduchi supports yacht and superyacht owners, family offices and professional advisers with the establishment, administration and governance of ownership structures.
With more than 40 years’ experience, we bring a measured, disciplined approach to complex, multi-jurisdictional arrangements — working alongside advisers to ensure structures are implemented clearly, administered properly and maintained with care over time.
Our role is practical and discreet. We focus on coordination, governance and execution, helping clients navigate the structural and administrative realities of ownership with confidence.
How we work
We work at the centre of a wider advisory network.
Our role is to:
Coordinate effectively across multiple counterparties
Maintain structured and well-documented arrangements
Ensure continuity, consistency and administrative discipline over time
For owners and family offices, this provides confidence that the structure operates as intended — not just at inception, but throughout its lifecycle.
