Crafting Remarkable, Curated Adventures

Adventure-ready charter experts with serious sailing credentials.

Welcome to Anchor

About us

Anchor was born from a belief that yacht charters should be personal, professional, and properly exciting.

We’re boating experts at your fingertips.

Forged from a belief that we could do skippered & bareboat better, anchor is proud to stand tall as the specialist sailing arm of HELM.

Who are we?

Our story

Anchor is the sailing-focused evolution of HELM, the yacht charter brokerage that's been delivering exceptional holidays on the water since 2015.

We are a small team of dedicated yacht charter experts, who know every monohull and catamaran under the Mediterranean and Caribbean sun, have visited every base and know the exacting maintenance standards of the boats we work with.

We only work with the very best boats on the market, who we know and trust.

A natural evolution

HELM’s founders, Peter Harrison-Hill and Simon Morgan, set the business up in 2015 with a simple, singular goal - to delivering exceptional holidays on the water.

Anchor is the evolution of this simple idea.

As HELM grew into a global leader in high-end yacht charters, we realised our clients needed a brand that specialised in freedom-first sailing and didn’t cut corners.

That’s where Anchor comes in, to put bareboat and skippered experts at your fingertips.

We aim for a seamless customer experience, choosing to only work with the best yachts, and build personal relationships to reinforce trust at all points.

Ours is a relationships business, our reputation is our core value.

Why choose Anchor?

Knowledge

Human-led expertise

Led by the same expert team behind HELM, Anchor offers a curated, human-first experience for adventurous travellers.

We’re not just a booking platform. We’re your friendly yacht charter broker, guide, and partner.

Croatia to the Cyclades, Grenada to Guadeloupe.

If it’s out there, we’ve sailed it, reviewed it, and know the people who run it.

We use that knowledge to get you the best boats, in the best shape, at the best value.

And we’re always here when you need us.

Because at Anchor, we hold fast.

What makes us different

Our brokers aren't office-bound salespeople reading from yacht spec sheets.

They're sailors who've crossed oceans, weaved through the Mediterranean and spent countless nights anchored under the Caribbean stars.

When they recommend a yacht or destination, it's because they know it intimately.

This is a relationships business, and reputation is everything.

We've built our name on acquiring and sharing the kind of insider knowledge that only comes from years of exploration.

Our brokers have personally sailed on every fleet we represent and visited every marina we recommend.

We know which boats perform best in different conditions, which skippers are worth their weight in gold, and which anchorages offer the perfect balance of scenery and shelter.

More importantly, we know which ones to avoid, and why.

We filter out thousands of boats and only work with the ones we know will be in excellent condition.

Each Anchor broker makes personal recommendations, tailored to your group and based on your preferences.

Their advice stems from years of first-hand and collective yachting knowledge, topped up with regular trips to inspect the fleets in bases around the world.

As part of the HELM family, we bring nearly a decade of charter excellence to every booking.

The same attention to detail, the same commitment to quality, the same obsession with getting every detail right.
