SEPTEMBER MARKET OUTLOOK In September, the largest yacht sold was Phoenix 2, a stunning 90.02-meter megayacht built by Lürssen Yachts in 2010, sold for an impressive €124.95 million. In total, 27 yachts were sold this month, amassing a total sales value of over €344 million and 1,008 meters in combined length. Key highlights: • The Wayfinder, a 68.20-meter superyacht by Astilleros Armon, was sold for €55 million, making it the second-highest priced yacht sold. • A mix of motor yachts, superyachts, and sailing yachts dominated the market, with notable brands like Baglietto, Benetti, and Sanlorenzo making multiple appearances. This strong performance highlights the enduring appeal and investment value of large yachts in the luxury market. Considering that the oldest yacht sold in September was built in 1992 there has been no classic yacht sales reported last month.

How to Improve the Image of Yachting? Next Thursday morning, on the 26th September, the Yacht Club de Monaco will host its traditional Captains Meeting with over 120 experienced Captains in attendance, places are limited, but definitely worth getting a seat secured. This year’s theme is hugely topical and timely, “How to Improve the Image of Yachting?” with a series of discussions and keynotes, moderated by myself, Martin Redmayne, Chairman of The Superyacht Group, this will be a candid exploration of the impact of accidents, incidents, environmentalists and how our market is perceived and portrayed. The programme has brought together an expert mix of experienced captains all of whom have a clear understanding of what our image is and how we can protect and develop a more positive narrative. However, the meeting will kick off with an inspirational talk by yacht owner, Mr Anil Thadani, exploring the real image of yachting from an owner’s perspective. After all, there are hundreds of owners doing very interesting things and going to unique places and more importantly, applying a philanthropic element to their asset use. The positive storytelling and unique insights that exist across our market, are often ignored by protest groups or broadsheet media, who are often looking to point fingers and lay blame to the yachting sector. The time has come to discuss the narrative and engagement that is urgently required, to tell the world, what we’re doing and what impact we have on the world that is positive and intelligent. Environmental and ocean-based science, economic contributions to regional and remote communities, education programmes and skills development are all aspects of our industry that are often overlooked. The conversations at this year’s Captains Meeting are going to focus on the good and the positive, while at the same time exploring how we can mitigate and manage the negative.

Yacht Charter vs. Purchase: What’s Right for You? When it comes to yachting, one of the biggest decisions you’ll face is whether to charter or buy. Both options offer unique benefits depending on your lifestyle and long-term goals. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide what’s right for you: Chartering: Ideal for those who want the flexibility of enjoying a yacht without a long-term commitment. Chartering allows you to experience different yachts and destinations, and there are no ongoing costs for maintenance, crew, or docking. It’s a great option if you’re looking for short-term trips or aren’t ready for the responsibilities of ownership. Purchasing: Owning a yacht offers the ultimate freedom and customization. You’ll have complete control over the vessel, can personalize it to your tastes, and always have it available for use. While the initial cost and ongoing maintenance are significant, the ability to enjoy the yacht whenever you wish makes ownership appealing for regular yachting enthusiasts.
