Fraser, the finest name in superyachts, is proud to announce the opening of its newest franchise office in Malta. The opening reinforces the company’s global network and its commitment to delivering foremost expertise across key yachting destinations worldwide

The expansion reflects Fraser’s ongoing strategy to offer our services in locations that matter most to clients. With its central Mediterranean location, robust legal and financial infrastructure, and increasing popularity among yacht Owners and charter clients, Malta has firmly established itself as a strategic hub for the global yachting community.

Fraser Malta will focus on yacht sales and charter services (both retail and management), led by experienced industry professional Niki Travers Tauss, who takes on the role of Managing Director Malta as well as Sales Broker.

A name synonymous with yachting in Malta, Niki and the family group of companies, Tauss Holdings, bring to Fraser over two decades of market leadership and a diverse portfolio of specialized yachting services, marina and finance companies.

As head of one of Malta’s most established yachting groups, celebrating over 20 years as the exclusive Azimut|Benetti representative in Malta, Niki has consistently delivered record sales performance per capita and earned the trust of new and experienced yacht Owners across the region. Niki also serves in various industry leadership roles, including a new position as Chairperson of the Yacht Services Business Section at the Malta Chamber.

Joining him is Adrian Mingo, who takes on the role of Charter Broker. Adrian brings extensive onboard and shore-based experience, having served as Captain, Chief Officer, and Engineer on yachts over 500GT, along with a strong track record in yacht refit and operations management. Further support will be offered by a core Fraser Malta team.

Fraser Malta opens strongly, having already welcomed 30M/98’ MR. K to its charter fleet, with many more yachts expected to join in the coming months.

Anders Kurtén, CEO of Fraser, commented: “Malta is a natural next step for Fraser. Establishing a local presence in this growing centre for yacht ownership and charter ensures we can continue to deliver the best possible service to new and existing clients. We are delighted to welcome Niki, Adrian, and the Fraser Malta team to our network.”

Niki Travers Tauss, Fraser Managing Director Malta and Sales Broker, commented: “The opening of the Fraser office in Malta marks the final stage of a personal introduction to Fraser initiated by the late Paolo Vitelli a couple of years ago. Malta is a strategic base for flag, legal, banking, and finance, and I look forward to working with new and existing Fraser clients in the region.”
