In this episode of 10 Leaves Podcasts, we explore how DIFC Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) can be used to structure the ownership of high-value maritime and aviation assets such as yachts, aircraft and private jets by separating ownership, operations and financing into distinct legal layers.

The discussion examines the challenges of holding these assets across multiple jurisdictions, the risks of personal ownership, and the advantages of using DIFC holding companies and dedicated SPVs to create clean title-holding vehicles.

We also discuss how this approach simplifies mortgage registration, refinancing, insurance and asset transfers, while isolating operational risks and improving governance, co-ownership arrangements and succession planning for founders, family offices and high-net-worth individuals.
