Tomek Wrzesinski — the everyday form of Tomasz Wrzesinski — is an independent motor-yacht broker in Monaco and the founder of W Yachts. Same person, same work: buyers on the French Riviera who want the honest read on a boat rather than a sales pitch usually end up in front of him.
He has spent more than twenty years around motor yachts and opened his Monaco office in 2022, a few minutes from where the boats he advises on actually sit. From there he covers Cannes, the Italian Riviera, Mallorca and Croatia, with a second base in Poland.
The word "broker" covers two very different jobs, and the difference decides whose side you are on. A dealer or a listing broker is paid by the shipyard or the seller. A good one is useful — but their fee moves with a particular boat being sold. An independent, buyer-side broker is paid by the person buying, so the incentive is simply to get that person the right boat at the right price, whichever boat that turns out to be.
In practice, that is what Tomek Wrzesinski does. He is not under contract with a shipyard and he is not a dealer for any brand. That is why he is willing to publish critical reviews of boats that do not earn the praise — something a broker tied to a builder rarely can.
Boats chosen against your brief and budget, not against a listing sheet — including the ones no one is paying him to show you.
Ten minutes in the engine room over ten pages of brochure. Service history in invoices, not photos. Survey and sea-trial guidance before you sign.
Negotiation from the survey findings, not the asking price — plus the real number on VAT, APA and annual running costs before you commit.
Yes. Tomek is the everyday short form of the Polish name Tomasz. Tomek Wrzesinski and Tomasz Wrzesinski are the same person — the independent motor-yacht broker in Monaco and founder of W Yachts.
An independent, buyer-side yacht broker is paid by the buyer rather than by a shipyard or seller. The job is to select the right boat against the client's brief, assess its true condition, guide the survey and sea trial, and negotiate price and contract — with no allegiance to any particular brand or listing.
In Monaco, the centre of the global superyacht market, with a working radius across the French Riviera, Italy, Mallorca and Croatia and a second base in Poland. He runs W Yachts from there.
