Thomas Merlier, yacht charter broker with DMA Yachting

Who is Thomas?

Born to a yacht captain father and a diplomat mother, Thomas grew up sailing the Mediterranean and developed a strong connection to the sea early.

With master’s degrees in marketing and business management, and early experience in banking, he brings a strategic mindset to the work. After moving to South Africa he moved into yachting, working in yacht crew training and conducting vessel surveys for the local maritime authority, which is what led to the invitation to join DMA.

Fluent in several languages and known for a thoughtful, client-focused approach, Thomas is now back in the Mediterranean and part of the DMA Yachting team in Palma.

We had the best experience

Thomas our broker was incredible to work with, very responsive and thorough. He was always quick to talk through any questions and provided all the necessary information. He checked in during our trip to ensure everything was going well. Would highly recommend and will definitely book with Thomas again!
