April 2024 – Our Yacht Market Report, Boat Show Prep, and Brokerage Fleet

After a short absence and an early Easter weekend, the Berthon International eNews returns. We hope that the weather, wherever you are cruising, allows you to get out on the water as the 2024 yachting season begins. All the Berthon offices are busy with sales, closings, preparing yachts for the season, and getting ready for the 2024 boat shows.

We are delighted to bring you our Berthon Yacht Market Report for 2024, and we hope you will dive into the articles and updates from our offices. Our sales team examines their market segments in 2023 while forecasting significant trends and shifts anticipated for 2024. You will also find a yearly update on VAT from Simon Anslow of PKF. Marko Paš, founder and director of Pegasus Yachts, writes for us on the evolution of bluewater cruising yachts. Rachel Hibberd of World Cruising Club invites you to fulfill your yachting dreams with one of their ARC Rallies. For the first time this year, our Flight Deck Reports are linked to ‘The Berthon Collection’, where our brokers showcase a range of yachts currently for sale with Berthon.

We are now eagerly counting down to the Palma International Boat Show, which will take place from April 25th to 28th, just weeks away. Hoek 82 SWEET EMOTION will be at the show, and we will provide updates about Berthon in Palma as the event draws closer.

Top 7 Yacht Sales Insights for March 2024 | We explain the noticeable differences in market activity and discuss the types of yachts that are attracting the most interest in all of our market territories.

Virtually New Bluewater Cruiser – Outbound 56, BAREFOOT is now offered at a reduced price | From 2019, the Outbound 56 BAREFOOT was a highly specified yacht at launch. Maintained with no expense spared, it has continued to receive upgrades. The result today is a top-notch, practical cruising yacht, easily sailed shorthanded with the utmost safety and comfort. It looks fantastic both above and below decks, offering sparkling sailing performance and great value.

Own the Legendary S&S Nautor Swan 65-001, PEAK – Great Value for a timeless Classic | The first of the sisterhood to hatch in 1973, the Swan 65 is one of the most beautiful series yachts ever built. Nautor Swan 65, PEAK, has modern systems added for sail handling, comfort, and safety and is sailed two-handed by her current owners. Below deck, her interior remains delightfully original. A recent refit from 2022 to 2023 included new teak decks and an overhaul of her steering system.

Discovery 55/023 SYLVIA is for sale | This very special Discovery 55 has traveled far, taking her family across the Atlantic and Pacific without fuss. Highly specified and upgraded in this ownership, including new paint, rigging, electronics, lithium-ion battery, solar array, and Starlink, she is now for sale in Tahiti. SYLIVIA is in tip-top shape.

The Versatile & Powerful Windy SR44 Blackhawk, MADNESS | Very handsome sports cruiser from Windy, featuring teak walk-around decks, a central console, and a pair of Volvo Penta D6/440 DPI engines. Her specification includes joystick docking, air-conditioning, an aft bimini for shade, and a hydraulic bathing platform for easy tender launching. Currently lying in Mallorca, MADNESS is perfect for its azure waters.

Mystic 55, SURPRIZE is for sale in Mallorca | Striking 1999 Mystic 55 from Dubois and Bowman, SURPRIZE has composite construction, carbon rig and new teak decks from 2023. The years have been kind, thanks to an excellent maintenance schedule. With a raised chart area in the saloon and a Redman Whitely interior in American Cherry, she is a very comfortable and capable go anywhere cruising yacht, with a modest price tag.
