ABOUT ME

I HAVE BEEN LIVING MY PASSION FOR OVER 30 YEARSI

Yachts, sea & people

After many successful years in management, I have turned my hobby into a profession – and my passion for yachts into a lifestyle. I love the sea, nature, good food, exciting conversations and the special spirit among like-minded people on the water.

As the founder of YACHT SWISS, I accompany people who are looking for their perfect yacht – personally, discreetly and with a flair for the extraordinary. I am not just a consultant, but often a lifelong companion to my customers.

Whether yacht sales, investment, transfer, skipper or owner training, charter advice or the development of an individual custom yacht – I always put my heart and soul into it. And that’s exactly what makes the difference.

When I’m not on the water, I enjoy the peace and space of my adopted home of Appenzell – the perfect complement to life at sea.

MANY THANKS TO

December 2025 - Family Poels

Without Jens from YACHT SWISS, we would never have bought a Lagoon. We trusted him right from the start. Everything went smoothly, from the purchase and chartering to setting up the company in Croatia. The handover in Les Sables was wonderful and emotional. Thank you, Jens. We are very satisfied.

December 2025 - Jens Karstedt (Owner QWS Quality Welding Service)

Never again will we buy a boat from anyone else! In future, we will only buy from YACHT SWISS – they are very competent, great people, always ready to help and knowledgeable, even if the boat was not purchased from YACHT SWISS. I have also heard nothing but praise for Jens from others.

May 2025 - Stefanie Körner (Owner and CEO of Vinci Personal AG Basel)

Our skipperteacher? A mixture of Zen master, Captain Haddock (without swearing) and HR coach at sea. He guides us through wind, waves and comfort zone maneuvers with patience, foresight and the perfect timing between “Go for it” and “I’ll get involved”. Thanks for the tailwind Jens Schönberg – professionally and personally!

May 2024 - Franz Schillinger (CEO MASTER YACHTING GmbH)

Jens has been working with Master Yachting for many years and has contributed amazing value to our company, not only in sales but also supervising yacht handovers, support in after sales, training and education.

February 2024 - Prof. Dr. Markus Hartenbach (CEO, CMO Minute Medical Vienna)

I met Jens Schönberg when my wife and I were interested in buying a sailing yacht. But actually Jens isn’t someone who just sells you a boat. That’s actually the biggest “side effect” in that journey. Jens makes things possible. Jens makes things happen. Jens makes sure things run smoothly. And that’s true also for years afterwards. It’s not just talent and hard work. That is devotion! We are glad having met you!

January 2024 - Ahmet Ciftcioglu (CEO Swiss Electrical Steel Group AG)

“It is a pleasure to recommend Jens Schönberg in the area of yacht sales. Jens is an extremely competent expert who impresses with in-depth knowledge and a comprehensive understanding of yachts. His professional approach and dedication made the process of selling our yacht smooth and successful. I recommend Jens Schönberg without reservation as a reliable partner for anyone looking for a first class yacht sales expert.”

“In addition to Jens Schönberg’s expert assistance with the yacht sale, I would particularly like to highlight his outstanding skills with the transfer of the boat and the custom installations that were carried out. Jens not only made the sales process seamless, but also demonstrated his talent for customization and dedication to perfection. The transfer went smoothly and the custom installations have transformed the boat into a bespoke masterpiece. I appreciate Jens’ professionalism and creative approach and highly recommend him for anyone looking for not only a yacht sales expert, but also a top-notch boating professional.”

“Jens Schönberg’s commitment goes far beyond the actual yacht sale – in after-sales service he is always approachable and supportive with any questions or problems. His dedication, professional approach and expertise continue even after the sales process is complete. Jens is always on hand to help and advise his customers, which creates a long-term relationship based on trust. His excellent after-sales service is another reason why I can recommend Jens Schönberg without reservation.”
