Interview: Sergei Dobroserdov on setting up the Dynamiq Shipyard 14 January 2021 14:30 Business Ellie Brade There aren’t many superyacht brokers who take the step of starting their own shipyard, but that is precisely what Sergei Dobroserdov, CEO and founder of Italy-based Dynamiq did. First presenting the brand in Monaco in 2015, Dobroserdov’s background as a broker specialising in new construction and his passion for design have proved an invaluable combination when at the helm of Dynamiq. Growing up in yachting playgrounds Born and raised in Moscow, Sergei Dobroserdov grew up the son of a diplomat who worked in Southern Europe. This meant summers by the water in Greece, Cyprus and Turkey, leading to a lifelong love for these natural yachting playgrounds. “I first got my passion for the sea from there,” he remembers. After beginning his career as a maritime lawyer, with a focus on commercial shipbuilding, Dobroserdov later entered the world of superyachts as a broker, heading up the newly-formed Fraser Russia office between 2002 and 2004, he gained invaluable exposure to yachting brands from around the world. Relocating to Monaco in 2008, he remains based in the Principality today.
