Hamburg & Sylt: the villa on the Elbe, the house in the dunes.
Many of Hamburg's shipping and trading families live in the villas along the Elbe and spend the summer on Sylt. Between the city, the island and — often — a yacht in the Mediterranean, their technology is spread across many providers. We bring it under one standard. Leeward is headquartered in Hamburg — this is our home port.

What is typical here
- Assets
- Villas in Blankenese, Othmarschen and Harvestehude, holiday homes in Kampen, Keitum and List, family offices in the city, yacht refits at Hamburg's yards, private aircraft in Hamburg and on Sylt.
- Season
- Hamburg year-round; Sylt from spring to autumn and over the holidays.
Local challenges
Island houses stand empty
Holiday homes on Sylt are often empty for months. Sea air, storms and power cuts are hard on outdoor equipment and links.
Many homes, many providers
City villa, island house and yacht each have their own installer — and nobody sees the whole perimeter.
Family office routines
Payments, travel bookings and staff all run through the family office — a prime target for invoice fraud.
