The Registry

A vetted directory of the people you need around an island transaction — brokers, lawyers, surveyors, contractors, managers and operators. Entries are by invitation, so the list stays short and accountable.

By invitation

Island Brokers

Specialist agents who represent island buyers and sellers across a named region.

By invitation

Maritime & Property Lawyers

Counsel for title, tenure, foreign-ownership structures and cross-border transfer.

By invitation

Surveyors & Valuers

Land, hydrographic and building surveyors who can verify a parcel and its waterline.

By invitation

Marine & Island Contractors

Jetty, seawall, off-grid power, water and build teams that work at the waterline.

By invitation

Island Managers & Estate Staff

Caretakers, estate managers and staffing for occupied and off-season islands.

By invitation

Transfer & Charter Operators

Boat, seaplane and helicopter operators serving island access and viewings.

The Registry is being built slowly and deliberately. We are not accepting open sign-ups; firms are added by invitation once their work is known to us. If you advise on island transactions and would like to be considered, note it when you contact us.

The quarterly

Atoll — islands, read closely.

Ownership, cost, tenure and the few islands that come to market each season. Reported plainly. No. 1 in preparation.
