April 2025 – Your Easter Edition & Yacht Market Report 2025

Welcome to our Easter edition of the Berthon E-news. As Easter approaches, heralding the start of the yachting season, there’s a lively buzz in the marinas, with yachts being commissioned and readied for use over the holiday.

The Berthon Yacht Market Report 2025 is here, offering in-depth analysis and thought-provoking commentary. This edition includes key insights into VAT treatment for yachts in the UK and EU, tips on navigating yacht shopping both online and internationally, and an article from the RYA discussing their efforts to encourage new enthusiasts to join our sport. You’ll also find our Berthon Forecast for 2025, where we share our predictions for the yacht market’s direction in the coming year. Our sales team has compiled their Flight Deck Reports – detailed reviews of their individual market segments for 2024. Each report links to The Berthon Collection, which features a curated selection of quality yachts currently available for sale. This Collection will continue to expand throughout the promotion as we add new yachts with video to the Berthon fleet.

Looking ahead, we are preparing for the Palma Superyacht Village & International Boat Show, running from April 30th to May 3rd. We’ll be showcasing two exceptional cruising yachts – the Judel/Vrolijk Marten 80 NIMROD and the Oyster 82 BILL AND ME. We look forward to welcoming you aboard during the event.

Berthon Spain is pleased to welcome a new yacht broker, Henk Sijbranda (^pictured above), who joins us just in time for the Palma show. With over 30 years of experience in international yacht brokerage and extensive expertise across the Dutch, English, and German-speaking markets, we are thrilled to have Henk aboard.
