Yacht Events Johnson (YEJ) specialises in bespoke entertainment and complete event production for superyachts, private celebrations, corporate events and prestigious international occasions.
Founded by international recording artist Emily Johnson (wwwemilyjohnsonofficial.com) known for her album Open Your Heart, produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Narada Michael Walden, whose credits include Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin and Mariah Carey, YEJ combines artistic expertise with years of experience in high-level events.
Since 2015, YEJ has provided artists — including Emily Johnson — for Monaco’s official public Formula 1 concert and event, presented by the City of Monaco, with Formula 1 approval and artists selected in collaboration with the Automobile Club de Monaco.
Before specialising in yacht events, the company also provided entertainment for internationally recognised companies and groups including ABB, Mercuria, Biotronik, AMD, Global Jet and Groupe Pastor, among others.
After several years of working aboard some of the world’s most remarkable yachts — including the legendary Christina O — Emily Johnson decided to bring this experience together under Yacht Events Johnson, with a dedicated focus on the unique requirements of superyacht events.
Producing an event aboard a superyacht requires much more than choosing an artist.
Space, boarding, installation, power, sound restrictions, staging, equipment and the yacht’s operational schedule all need to work seamlessly together.
YEJ works alongside owners, brokers, captains, charter managers, chief stewards, crew and event planners to coordinate entertainment that integrates naturally into the onboard environment.
Whether it is an elegant dinner, sunset cocktails, a birthday celebration, corporate hospitality, a Monaco Grand Prix event or a major yacht party, we create the entertainment around the experience — not the other way around.
Although YEJ specialises in yachting, our services extend far beyond yachts.
We provide artists and complete technical production for corporate events, private villas, hotels, weddings, gala evenings, international conferences, Formula 1 hospitality, yacht shows and exclusive private celebrations.
Our experience with international companies and high-profile events has shaped an approach based on professionalism, discretion, flexibility and attention to detail.
Monaco • Mediterranean • Worldwide
Based in Monaco, Yacht Events Johnson operates throughout the French Riviera and Mediterranean, including Monaco, Cannes, Saint-Tropez, Italy, Greece, Croatia and other major yachting destinations.
Our network and production capabilities also allow us to organise entertainment worldwide, according to each client’s destination and requirements.
Behind every event is the experience of an artist who understands both sides of the stage.
Emily Johnson’s career as an international performer gives YEJ a different perspective on entertainment: understanding not only which artist to choose, but how music, production, timing and atmosphere come together to create emotion.
Because exceptional entertainment is not simply about putting an artist on stage.
