How We Work

The new build phase is where long-term administrative and operational systems are established. Early structure supports efficient transition from shipyard to active service.

Virtual Pursers provides new build yacht administrative support, working alongside the build Captain, project teams, and owner’s representatives to establish crew, accounting, and operational systems ahead of delivery.

“We are delighted to have discovered VP; Bec goes above and beyond and takes the right initiatives to get the job done in the most efficient way, with her experience in the yachting industry proving invaluable in providing appropriate and reliable support.  It has been an absolute godsend knowing that deadlines are being met and allowing us more time to focus where it is most needed onboard, we simply couldn’t be without her!”

A message from the Founders: “We are honoured to work with a wide variety of clients, and every project we carry out is unique. Supporting vessels, marinas, yacht brokers, yacht management, shipyards. Together, we say Thank You.”

Bec & Dom
Virtual Pursers

“Our experience thus far with Virtual Pursers has been a very positive one. The depth of Virtual Purser’s network of contacts and knowledge within the industry has proven to be an added benefit to what is already a service of the highest standard. On a large project such as this, the Purser has to be dynamic enough to handle their tasks with a high degree of independence, and using a Virtual Purser allows them to do so without distraction. Furthermore, their invoicing structure allows for a simple and transparent payment process. We are looking forward to continuing our relationship with Virtual Pursers well into the future.”

“I would recommend Dominique to any Captain or Yacht Owner with no hesitation. She is professional, pleasant and very honest, she is an asset to any corporation, always striving for the best.”

G. Smith
Yacht Captain, 40m

“I was introduced to VP as a solution when my admin assistant was forced to focus solely on our marketing. Today I have a scalable team of assistants with in depth yachting knowledge which, apart from handling the mundane admin tasks, go and solve every challenge thrown at them. This has decreased my personal workload and further increased the quality and scope of our services. Now our Pocket Superyacht owners have Invisible Superyacht Pursers on board!”
