Ulf came to the south of France 1988. Enjoying the yachting scene he spent 12 years on boats before setting up Riviera Yacht Support in 2000. During his years at sea he felt there was a big gap when it came to shore support and high quality service, hence the business idea. The yachting years gave Ulf an extensive contact net which today makes it possible to supply and organize anything a demanding charter client or owner might wish for. He has a high focus on attention to detail and considers top quality service to be the corner stones of the company.
