Meet the Captain

Jan Riallain

Founder of Limitless Yacht Brokerage

Certified 200-ton unlimited captain with over 10 years of offshore experience.

Born and raised along the rugged Atlantic coast of Brittany, France. World circumnavigator. Engineering enthusiast. Technical problem-solver.

From Brittany to the Seven Seas

Born and raised along the rugged Atlantic coast of Brittany, France, my bond with the ocean began early and runs deep. Growing up surrounded by the raw power of the Atlantic shaped not just my love for the sea, but my respect for it.

Before dedicating my life to yachting, I worked as a landscape architect at a historic château in France — a role that taught me precision, attention to detail, and an appreciation for refined systems. That eye for detail translates directly into how I assess yacht systems, coordinate complex projects, and solve technical challenges.

"There is no better tool or equipment you can have on board than a well-trained crew."

— Larry Pardey

As a certified 200-ton unlimited captain, I bring technical expertise, calm leadership, and a problem-solver's mindset to every project. I don't just navigate — I understand the engineering behind the systems that keep yachts running reliably offshore.

Five Years Around the World

Driven by a passion for exploration, I embarked on a five-year circumnavigation that tested every skill I'd developed and taught me lessons no textbook could provide.

Caribbean

Martinique, Grenadines, ABC Islands

Pacific & Oceania

French Polynesia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea

Indian & Atlantic

Seychelles, St. Helena

Asia & Pacific

Panama Canal, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, Fiji

This journey taught me weather routing, offshore problem-solving, and the patience required for safe passages. I learned to troubleshoot mechanical issues thousands of miles from the nearest port, to read weather patterns across different oceans, and to make decisions based on seamanship — not schedules.

What I Bring to Every Project

Engineering Mindset

Passionate about boat systems, technical troubleshooting, and practical solutions. I understand how things work — and how to fix them when they don't.

Certified Captain

200-ton unlimited license. Over 10 years of offshore experience. World circumnavigation completed. Expert weather routing and navigation.

Calm Leadership

Known for calm decision-making under pressure, clear communication, and unwavering commitment to safety. Your yacht is in experienced hands.

My Philosophy

"I approach every yacht project as if it were my own — with a technician's eye, a captain's experience, and honest communication."

Whether I'm delivering a yacht across the Atlantic, managing a technical refit, or helping a client find the right vessel, my priority is the same: do it right, keep it safe, and solve problems properly the first time.

Real sailors. Real expertise. Real results.
