There is no typical day
Advisory takes many forms ranging from just a few pointers to embedding ones self within the company for an extended period.
Consultancy
Stanton Land & Sea is a unique advisory focused on understanding your business, resetting core beliefs and empowering staff.
Today’s technology-biased ethos has led to an over-reliance on using digital platforms to Sell, Market and Manage. Diluting the interaction with the vital elements of any business structure.
Stanton Land & Sea will ultimately improve your yields, whatever the commodity.
The Who
Founded in 2021, our primary focus was providing a discreet advisory service to clients looking to purchase super yachts. Having been asked by several clients to help with their core businesses at different levels, Stanton Land & Sea grew into a multi-faceted advisory service, pulling in invaluable knowledge, training and real-world experiences gained over my career.

Luxury Yacht Sales and Management
Seizing an opportunity to move country and career, I moved to the South of France to become a Yacht Broker. Ultimately became the Director of Sales for Monaco and the South of France.
Memorable quote: “I met you at your first boat show, and here I am 10 years later, buying my first Yacht from you; thank-you you for hanging in there.” Mr Price, CEO.
The beauty of independence
Big is not always best; larger consultancy firms often ask us for an opinion or guidance. Surrounded by graduates and managers, very few firms employ people with real-world experience.
Two ears, one mouth, use them in that ratio
Some of the best ideas come from within. Listen to the staff, the customers, and the environment. They will tell you how to improve.
There is no substitute for getting your hands dirty
Time to get out of the ivory tower? Stanton Land & Sea is never afraid to roll its sleeves up and do what needs to be done.
