Jack Gradus

Spending time on the sea throughout his childhood, Jack had already passed his day skipper qualification at the age of 14. During summer holidays, he worked in shipyards and as a delivery skipper for a range of boats, after which he pursued yachting through a master’s degree in naval architecture. Subsequently, he was employed as a Captain and engineer in Mallorca, before joining a 65m classic motor yacht in the Caribbean, gaining valuable hands-on experience. Having always had the goal of superyacht brokerage in mind, Jack joined Ocean Independence in 2017. Operating as a yacht broker alongside the directors and senior brokers, he has been involved in a variety of intelligence, brokerage and new build projects.

Actively looking to introduce new clients and prospects, whilst supporting the new generation of progressive ideas company-wide, Jack is based in the South of France. A passionate skier, water-skier and rugby player, he is driven by high standards and aims to achieve success within the yachting industry.
