Armed with expertise in mechanics and engineering he was ideally equipped to understand and advise on more than the cosmetic aspects of a boat for purchase or sale. Smith learned the trade of selling yachts from Chris Cecil-Wright. Both men connected in their conviction that when it comes to yacht brokerage, bigger is certainly not better. Today, Cecil Wright is one of the leading \u2018boutique\u2019 yacht brokerages, with a preference for boats with a northern European pedigree. \u201cOur clients are used to the best in life so that\u2019s what we are looking for in a yacht for them.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"##0\" class=\"episode_guests_link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tREAD MORE\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t        \n\t    \n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our second episode of YachtTalk recorded in London, we catch up with Henry Smith, partner of \u2018boutique-style\u2019 brokerage firm Cecil Wright.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to their client-centred approach, Cecil Wright is one of the leading yacht brokers in the ultra-luxury segment.
