About Us

John Vitali

John Vitali (pictured right in the photo) is a highly motivated manager of people with thousands of ocean miles racing maxi yachts. It is a good combination that few in the yacht business have. John not only understands the ocean in both its placid and angry guises. John also understands that each person on a team is the key to success.

Lars Bjorklund

Born in Sweden many many years ago, and now lives in New Zealand.

Lars has been involved in the yachting industry for nearly 30 years, first as a charter captain on sailing yachts, then as a 'Yacht Helper' (broker/manager) in his own company in the South of France, BCR Yachts. After having moved to New Zealand early 2007, Lars formed a partnership with John Vitali and created Diverse Projects, which is a continuation with John's former company, Diverse NZ Ltd.

With Lars's extensive experience in yacht charter Diverse Projects can offer a very complete package to clients, commencing from your 'dream' to build a yacht and all the way to looking after it being for charter or eventually for sale.
