Monaco / Geneva, 29 June 2026
The way clients manage their lives, assets, and travel is changing. Today’s private clients, owners, and family offices are looking for more than individual services. They are looking for continuity, discretion and one trusted partner able to understand their expectations across aviation, yachting, lifestyle, travel and properties support.
Sparfell Group is pleased to announce that it is joining forces with Neo Yachting through a strategic equity stake, marking a natural step in the Group’s continued development as an international provider of fully integrated services for a discerning clientele.
With nearly 15 years of industry experience, Neo Yachting, founded and led by Nicolas Valin, has built a strong reputation in yacht charter, sales, management, and new build/refit.
This announcement follows several years of close collaboration between Sparfell and Neo Yachting. Built on trust, shared standards and a common understanding of client expectations, this new chapter strengthens an already established relationship and expands the range of services available to clients.
Neo Yachting will continue to operate under its recognized identity, with Nicolas Valin remaining CEO. Clients will continue to benefit from the same trusted relationships, while gaining access to the wider international ecosystem of Sparfell.
“This was a natural evolution for Neo Yachting. Sparfell and Neo Yachting have worked closely together for several years, and we share the same values. We have identified a wide array of synergies that will allow us to provide an enhanced client experience and build stronger solutions.
Joining Sparfell Group allows us to grow internationally while preserving the identity and service culture that define Neo Yachting,” said Nicolas Valin, Founder and CEO of Neo Yachting.
This evolution also reflects a clear market trend. Many clients already trust Sparfell for their aviation needs and are increasingly looking for the same level of support, precision and discretion across other areas of their lives and assets.
By bringing together business aviation, yachting, and lifestyle expertise, Sparfell and Neo Yachting create meaningful synergies and strengthen a shared ambition: to provide a seamless and coherent service model for an international clientele.
“Many of our clients already trust Sparfell to support them across different aspects of their lives and assets, and yachting was a natural extension of that relationship. Neo Yachting was already a trusted partner, including for shared clients, so strengthening our collaboration was a logical next step,” said Clément Lacoste, Sparfell Lifestyle Managing Director.
