In the rarefied realm where fashion, travel, and lifestyle converge, few industries capture the imagination quite like yachting- where sea foam sparkles like champagne and a vessel becomes a floating expression of taste, access, and freedom. For Michelle Pritts, now a leading force at Royal Yacht International, the journey into this industry was anything but linear. From modeling and entrepreneurship, learning to navigate a sailboat in the brisk winds of San Francisco Bay and later living on the the turquoise waters of Puerto Rico, her path mirrors the very essence of modern luxury: layered, adaptive, and unafraid of reinvention.
Royal Yacht International, headquartered in Monaco — the spiritual capital of luxury yachting – operates with an energy that feels both modern and timeless. With offices in Miami, Dubai, and St. Barth, the company is rewriting what brokerage means for a new generation of clients. At its core lies a marriage of impeccable service and cutting-edge technology: the refinement of digital tools meeting the precision of white-glove guidance. Within this world, Michelle Pritts stands out not only for her maritime expertise but for her ability to bring her full self to the table. Encouraged to embrace the duality of her professional life — her fashion career alongside her yachting acumen — she embodies a contemporary truth of luxury culture: image is never trivial; it is strategy. By blending modeling with brokerage, she demonstrates that identity is fluid, authenticity is currency, and in today’s market, credibility is as essential as elegance.
Michelle Pritts’ story is more than a personal success; it is a metaphor for the industry itself.
Reinvention, resilience, and style are not opposing forces but partners in shaping the future. “Once you stop listening to the voices telling you what you cannot do,” she says, “you realize the doors were never really locked.” In the world of yachting, where elegance meets engineering and freedom meets fortune, perspective itself becomes the ultimate luxury.
