December 2022 – Happy Christmas, Yacht Sales Insights and More

The Berthon Sales Group wishes you a very Happy Christmas and New Year.

December has been an excellent month across all Berthon Sales Group offices, despite some very chilly weather for everyone. We were super proud of Berthon Scandinavia’s MD Magnus Kullberg and the crew of Najad 570, WEIRKRAKEN as they successfully completed their ARC crossing. Taking 1st place in Cruising Class B and coming 12th overall, which is an excellent result.

2022 was a year for boat shows with team Berthon exhibiting in Palma, Sweden, Cannes, Newport, Southampton and Annapolis – as well as on the UK’s south coast and at the all new Luxury Afloat show in London. We are now looking forward to boot Düsseldorf at the end of January 2023 (more details to follow).

Our top 8 yacht sales insights return for December 2022! An in-house monthly update about current trends within our industry. Well worth a read.

Also, let us introduce you to all things Marex Boats in December 2022. There is still limited availability for 2023 delivery. Which Marex is the right one for you?
