Our Story

diYachting, or Disco Inferno Yacht Charters as it was called back then, was founded in 2001 by Matt & Lizzie Abbiss. Having spent 12 years working full time on board sailing yachts as crew and managers chartering in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and UK , covering over 100,000 miles together. After their final yacht was sold to a private owner they decided to move ashore and focus their time on high quality yacht management and charter of luxury crewed sailing yachts from 60ft and above. diYachting has gone from strength to strength with the team constantly growing. We have just moved into our new office building that was refurbished just for us allowing us to expand further, we now have a strong team of 10, most of whom are sailors but living and working by the sea in Southend, we all share a love of the ocean and all things nautical.
