Professional background

Experience behind the operation

Vadim Yegudkin is President and Owner of Allied Yacht Transport, a yacht transportation company based in the Fort Lauderdale area. He leads the company’s voyage planning and execution, supported by a team responsible for logistics coordination and loading operations.

His experience in yacht transportation predates the current Allied Yacht Transport business. In October 2019, he co-founded Allied Ocean Transport with Justin Royal and Allen Davis. Marlin’s May 2022 coverage describes that earlier company’s formation and its first westbound voyage in 2020. Those operations and accomplishments belong to Allied Ocean Transport.

Allied Yacht Transport LLC, the current business, was filed in Florida on January 12, 2024. Today, Allied is the carrier coordinating yacht shipments on chartered transport ships. YachtTransport.ai is its online quoting and booking platform, connecting customers to sailings and the team arranging their shipment.

Vadim remains involved in the planning and execution of Allied’s voyages. He works alongside Ariella Yegudkin, Director of Logistics Coordination, and Justin Royal, Senior Loadmaster, to connect customer requirements with the loading and discharge operation. Allied’s completed BBC Riga westbound voyage in 2026 provides a documented example of that work.
