Yacht provisioning companies usually deliver the world’s finest culinary delights to superyachts around the world with little or no notice. However, Neko Yacht Supply has unveiled that its clients are now requesting ‘home deliveries’ directly to their villas.
Demand to supply provisions to villas in the Mediterranean has soared in recent years, so much so that Neko Yacht Supply has opened a new department, Villa Provisioning, to meet this new trend.
When talking to Yachting Pages, Joost van Gorsel, sales manager for Neko Yacht Supply said, “Lots of our clients with yachts also own villas in the Mediterranean, and when we kept getting requests to supply their villas, it led us to develop a department in December 2013 dedicated to just this. We can now offer all the comforts of yacht provisioning in our client’s homes, some of which request deliveries twice per week.”
Yacht provisioning companies often go the extra nautical mile to satisfy their super rich clientele, as *Joost van Gorsel explained, “We had an experience with a past customer that required over six pallets of fresh fish, meat, vegetables and fruit from Holland to be delivered to their 110m motor yacht in Salalah, Dhofar, at very short notice.
“After flying from Amsterdam to London, from London to Doha and from Doha to Muscat, we then had to arrange for the provisions to travel 1000km to the yacht by road in temperatures of 35˚C+, we did it, of course”
Neko Yacht Supply services the yachting industry with provisions and technical products and has recently opened an office in St. Maarten. The company is working with Yachting Pages Media Group to reach out to the luxury yacht market.
