Nigel Wales founded Arrival Yachts in 2008, bringing together his education in naval architecture, with practical business experience of more than three decades in yacht brokerage and new boat sales.

His interest in the commercial side of yachting developed during his Naval Architecture degree, when his final-year work focused on sponsorship in sailing. He went on to establish a family boat sales business in Andalucía, growing it to two offices and ten staff, with annual sales of more than 50 new and second-hand boats.

After relocating to Mallorca, Nigel spent a further seven years working in brokerage and new yacht sales before launching Arrival Yachts. The global financial crisis followed that same year, creating exceptionally difficult conditions across the marine industry. Arrival weathered those years through hard work, a strategic approach and a commitment to its clients. Those principles remain central to the business.

Since 2008, Nigel and the team have gained an ocean of experience working alongside almost every other international brokerage and specialist law firm. Arrival Yachts is a member of MYBA and focuses primarily on yachts over 20 metres in length, establishing itself as a key player in the superyacht sales arena.

Based in Puerto Portals, the core team includes office manager Marta Stefaniak, Katerina Milotova in sales support and Joan Binimelis.

Marta Stefaniak

Office Manager

Originally from Poland, Marta holds a degree in Tourism and Tourism Management from the University of Physical Education in Poznań. Driven by an innate love for exploring the world and creating unforgettable experiences, the destiny led Marta to the beautiful island of Mallorca, fulfilling a lifelong dream of living amidst sunshine, stunning coastlines, and the endless blue sea.

It was on this idyllic island, that she found the calling in the world of luxury yachting. With over 8 years of experience at Arrival Yachts, Marta has refined a deep understanding of this dynamic industry, specializing in yacht sales and client services.

Off the water, you’ll often find her practicing yoga, that years ago became a way of life. As both a practitioner and certified instructor, yoga brings a sense of balance and mindfulness, values that are seamlessly integrated into her approach to work and life. Whether reading a book, hiking the mountains of Mallorca, or travelling to exotic destinations, she lives each day with curiosity and enthusiasm.

Fluent in Polish, English, and Spanish, and currently learning Catalan, she embraces cultural diversity and believes in the power of conversation.

For Marta, yachting is more than just a career; it’s the fusion of adventure, continuous learning, luxury, and the freedom to live life to the fullest.
