The Arrow Team

Our team is at the heart of all that is Arrow, and is central to both our function and company culture. We are inherently aware of the balance of skills and personalities within our group. Having built and expanded it with care over the last two decades, we know that our people are essential to providing a consistent and exceptional level of service to our clients.

Vast yachting, technical and fiscal expertise, combined with the multicultural background of the Arrow team (ten nationalities, speaking a dozen languages and a combined total of 300 years of experience) has forged a team uniquely qualified to answer all of the needs of yacht owners, captains and crew alike.

Our experience gained onboard and onshore means that we understand the demands of yachting, allowing us to protect and assist owners & crews in every facet of operations, safety, construction and refit.

We have chosen well in order that owners have peace of mind.

Yerin Hobson, CEO & Shareholder

If anyone can say they have yachting in their blood, it’s Yerin Hobson. Having grown up and been educated quite literally on the water, Yerin’s career has seen him act as both captain and engineer on superyachts worldwide before following his aptitude for yacht construction into technical management. Having joined Arrow in 2007, Yerin remains at the helm of our large new build projects, and leads the effort to share Arrow expertise with our teams & clients alike.

James Allen, Director of Yacht Management

Sailing instructor at fifteen, professional race skipper & round-the-world yachtsman before he reached thirty, and having trained in excess of 2500 crew in his 20-year career, James is no stranger to challenges at sea & on land. Having managed some of the world’s most prestigious superyachts for the last decade on behalf of their owners, James now heads the yacht management team at Arrow.

Noel Walsh, Technical Director

With a career that began in the Irish Navy before moving into superyachting, Arrow’s technical director is a Commercial Class-1 Chief Engineer, who served in this capacity aboard vessels up to 138m in length. Now having moved ashore, as Arrow’s Technical Director, Noel’s significant experience ensures a superlative level of technical support is given to operational yachts & build projects alike.
