About Ahoy Club
Established in 2018, Ahoy Club is an Australian yacht charter and brokerage company dedicated to revolutionising the yachting industry.
Our Story
Ahoy Club was founded in 2018 by the Malouf family from Sydney, Australia - seasoned yacht owners and charterers who set out to revolutionise the yacht charter and sales experience. As owners of 15 yachts, they bring first-hand expertise, ensuring clients receive service that goes beyond transactions to add real value. Built on a passion for excellence, unrivalled experiences, and a customer-centric approach, Ahoy Club delivers a seamless and elevated yachting journey.
Today, Ahoy Club holds access to the world's largest selection of yachts, owns an exclusive range of assets, and leverages cutting-edge technology alongside a world-class marketing and content team. With a commitment to seven-star customer service, the company has expanded beyond yachting to encompass all aspects of luxury travel, redefining the experience to create lifelong memories.
The Malouf Family
Ahoy Club is a family-founded business, spearheaded by Ian and Ellie Malouf. Ian began his career by founding Dial A Dump from scratch and transforming it into Australia's most successful waste management business. His lifelong passion for yachts and the skills he developed in waste management have seamlessly transferred to their refit and management services, which are operationally very similar.
Ellie, shadowing Ian from a young age, now plays a key role in running Ahoy Club, ensuring that the family's dedication to excellence continues to drive their mission and vision.
