• Mark Upton

    Managing Director

     

    Mark grew up by the sea and spent the majority of his childhood sailing. It came as no real surprise that after leaving university Mark went to train and then work on Superyachts. Making his way from Deckhand to Captain Mark returned to land in 2007 and worked for a few years in Yacht management based in Monaco and the UK.

    Mark set up MGMT in 2009 as a means to help new owners find their way through the tricky process of buying or building a Superyacht. In 2011, with the London Olympics looming large in the distance, Mark and Nigel Upton set up what has become the UK’s largest and most successful Superyacht agency.

    Crew Family Office followed in 2015 as Mark is a firm believer in giving something back to the industry. He made a mess of the financial side of it and wanted to help others avoid doing the same. 

    Mark can’t take credit for setting up Superyacht Content but the success of the other businesses provided the means to buy it in 2020. These companies, combined with Superyacht Tenders form the Bridge Group.
