Personal yacht advice from Olympic sailor Niko Resch — official Beneteau dealer.
Niko Resch. Olympic sailor. Yacht adviser.
“Your boat should bring you joy — the first time you cast off and for years to come. That takes someone who listens and knows from experience what matters. I guide you through that decision. And remain your point of contact afterwards.”
For over 30 years, Niko has been at home on the water. Today, he brings his experience as a racing sailor and coach to yacht advice — knowledge no brochure can convey.

From the first conversation to support after handover.
What have you sailed before, how much experience do you have, and what do you want from your next boat? Niko listens and asks about your sailing grounds, crew, plans and budget. Whether you already know Beneteau or have a particular model in mind, the advice starts with you.
Niko assesses which models fit your needs and prepares a detailed offer. Together, you weigh up equipment and options: what makes sense for you, and what can be added later? You understand the differences and can decide with a clear picture of what you really need.
A yacht needs to feel right on the water, too. Depending on the model and availability, Niko arranges sea trials in Portorož or Barcelona. Sailing together helps you discover what suits you. Once you have chosen, Niko coordinates the next details with the yard.
Niko takes time over the handover, walking you through your boat, its equipment and how everything works. Some questions only arise once you are sailing, so he remains available afterwards. You know who to call — and who will help.
Both are Beneteau. The difference is where you put the emphasis.
Sailing comes first.

“He gave us excellent advice when buying, explaining all the pros and cons. He also helps with after-sales support.”
“If you are seriously looking for a boat, you should definitely speak to Niko Resch. … Even once it was clear that a new boat from him was beyond my budget, he still gave me valuable advice.”
“Excellent advice throughout the sales process. He knows what he sells. And above all, he does not try to sell additional options …”
“Fast, professional, everything you could wish for. Highly recommended!”
“… extremely knowledgeable, but also incredibly friendly, methodical and patient … and we even finished second in the regatta afterwards!”
“… always to the point, respectful, straightforward, clear …”

You can arrange an appointment at any time, not just during the show.
A first conversation often tells you more than hours of searching. Call Niko or leave your preferred time. Niko will call you then.
