April 2023 – Launching the Berthon Yacht Market Report and Then off to Palma!

As the sun begins to shine and the showers start to fade, we hope your preparations for the new yachting season are going well! Our five international offices are all a hive of activity, preparing for summer boat shows, the warmer months ahead and we are all looking forward to more time on the water.

April’s Top Yacht Sales Insights are all about the Berthon Yacht Market Report 2023 (^ inside cover photo pictured above), which is now available online as well as in hard copy. Do dive in and enjoy articles from our guest writers on VAT, yacht finance and shipping. There is news from the Flight Decks as well as insightful articles regarding our industry from Berthon and of course the all-important forecast for the year ahead. This year’s report also includes QR code links to the Berthon fleet. If you would like a hard copy of the Market Report please contact listings@berthon.co.uk.

You will find the Berthon Sales Group at Palma Superyacht Village & International Boat Show 27th – 30th April 2023. Berthon Sales Group brokers from our UK, Scandinavia and USA offices will be joining the team at Berthon Spain, in Palma, for this fabulous yachting event. Berthon are showing three high quality sailing yachts at the Superyacht Village and as the dealers for Marex in the Balearics, you will also find Berthon’s Marex Boats stand at the International Boat Show. We look forward to seeing your there.
