About Yachty Property

Local property expertise shaped around life at sea.

We connect the people, process and local insight required to turn overseas income into a carefully chosen North Coast asset.

Origin story

Built from a practical gap.

Yachty Property grew from a practical gap. South African yachting professionals were earning abroad and wanted to invest at home, but had limited time to assess properties, coordinate finance, prepare a rental and oversee it while returning to sea.

Cameron and Andrea combine local North Coast property experience with close family connections to the yachting industry. That perspective shaped a service designed around clients who cannot always attend viewings, discuss and workout the legal and financial complexities of working abroad or solve operational problems on the ground.

The result is a coordinated, turnkey property-investment service combining property sourcing, guided finance support, furnishing, hosting and management.

The people that make the team.

Cameron Andrews

Founder | Property Sourcing & Sales

RE/MAX  

Cameron Andrews brings more than 13 years of experience across hospitality, sales and real estate, of which the past six years have been focused on the KZN North Coast property sector. His hospitality background gives him a guest-first perspective on what makes a property work, whilst his years in the local market have built a deep understanding of the coastal corridor he also calls home. With a brother in the yachting industry for the past eight years, Cameron also has first-hand insight into the needs of crew earning offshore: remote, hands-off ownership, clear communication across time zones, and a property that is genuinely looked after in their absence. He combines that understanding with an owner's mindset, focused on protecting and growing the value of every property that is sourced for his clients.
Andrea Drews - Property Sourcing & Sales

Andrea Drews

Property Sourcing & Sales

RE/MAX 

Andrea has over eight years in real estate, and some of her first clients came from yachting. With a sister and close friends in the industry, she understands what internationally mobile buyers need when investing back home. She has seen property serve as both an investment and a home base for people who spend most of their time abroad. Some clients buy short-term lets they use when home and earn from while away. Others build a portfolio before settling into a forever home. Dre works with first-time investors and multi-property buyers alike. She takes a long-term view of rental performance, growth and overall returns, and works closely with holiday letting managers to give realistic income and management guidance. Her approach is personal and hands-on. She sources well-positioned properties that make financial sense and suit each client’s lifestyle, so they can invest with confidence, even from afar.
