A principal visit. Full weekend. Introductions that would otherwise take a quarter to arrange.
Red Sea staging ahead of a sovereign delivery window. The transaction closed two weeks later.
A quiet afternoon aboard. One introduction that became an ongoing quarterly account.
The conversations that happen off the water — after the official circuit closes for the evening.
