The campaign is an ironic look at the juxtaposition between simplicity and luxury.The commercial sees two important international icons of ‘Made in Italy’, Fiat 500 and Chopi Chopi, brought together for the first time in the elegant video. Having previously won prestigious international awards at the Showboats Design Awards 2014, The World Superyachts Awards 2014 and Boat of the Year 2013, this is the latest recognition for the superyacht Chopi Chopi.The advertising campaign is on air in Europe, starting from Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Serbia.

Staff at the port of Calanova transported the yacht to a safe location to avoid causing damage to other boats or marina visitors.&nbsp;At the time of publishing, it is still unclear whether anyone was injured during the explosion. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/935780609" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> Delivered in 2015 by the UK-based shipyard as the flagship of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2882" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pearl Yachts (Company)">Pearl</a> range, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/13785" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tomi23.29m (76'5&quot;)Pearl Yachts2015">Tomi</a> is capable of hosting up to eight guests overnight across a four stateroom layout.&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/13785" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tomi23.29m (76'5&quot;)Pearl Yachts2015">Tomi</a>’s accommodation includes a master suite with a king bed, a VIP stateroom with a queen bed, along with two guest staterooms that have twin beds.&nbsp;Having undergone a refit in 2022, the yacht was decked out with refurbished interior and exterior styling, as well as installed with Zero Speed stabilisers for a smoother journey.&nbsp;

Since March, the yachting world has been impacted by a class-action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court in Miami by Ya Mon Expeditions, LLC. This lawsuit targets numerous brokerage firms, including <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/833" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Denison Yachting (Company)">Denison Yacht Sales</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1102" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Allied Marine (Company)">Allied Marine</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2581" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="United Yacht Sales (Company)">United Yacht Sales</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1312" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MarineMax (Company)">MarineMax</a>, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/526" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Northrop & Johnson (Company)">Northrop &amp; Johnson</a>, as well as prominent listing platforms such as Boats.com and Yatco. Moreover, The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6362" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYBA (Company)">International Yacht Brokers Association</a> is also named as a defendant. At the heart of the lawsuit are allegations of price-fixing, accusing multi-listing services like Yatco of facilitating potentially anti-competitive behaviours that violate federal antitrust laws.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/306423/image/large-f732fc93c7f3418567c26f3dfb9234a4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/306423">The plaintiff, Ya Mon Expeditions LLC, a Wyoming-based limited liability company owned by a lawyer, initiated the lawsuit after selling a yacht and subsequently discovering how commissions were distributed. Specifically, it was revealed that the commission paid to the listing broker was shared with a cooperating broker. This lawsuit seeks to challenge the legitimacy of the commission structures associated with MLS-like systems within the yacht brokerage industry.The roots of this lawsuit likely trace back to recent shifts within the real estate sector concerning commission structures. Home sellers in multiple lawsuits against the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and several major brokerages have argued that the trade group's regulations, especially those governing homes listed on its affiliated multiple listing services, unfairly bolstered agent commissions. These rules reportedly incentivised agents representing buyers to avoid showing listings where the seller’s broker offered lower commissions to the buyer’s agent.In an article published by Soundings Trade World, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6362" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYBA (Company)">IYBA</a> Chief Operating Officer Paul Flannery addressed the allegations, stating: “We are aware of the complaint, which does not accurately portray the yacht brokerage industry. It incorrectly suggests that selling yacht brokers are required to pay the commissions of brokers representing yacht purchasers, or that there is a conspiracy to inflate commissions”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289300/image/large-1ffa49ca8775f0bb7ce606cad8163ecf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289300">Furthermore, an article by Loose Cannon highlights how several yacht brokerages, along with the corporate owners of the YachtWorld listing service, are collaborating to formulate a unified defence.Judge Michael Moore of the U.S. District Court in Miami recently granted the defendants additional time to compile exculpatory evidence and develop their arguments. This decision came in response to a motion filed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/526" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Northrop & Johnson (Company)">Northrop &amp; Johnson</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2575" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Galati Yacht Sales (Company)">Galati Yacht Sales</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1312" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MarineMax (Company)">MarineMax</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2581" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="United Yacht Sales (Company)">United Yacht Sales</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2223" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="HMY Yacht Sales (Company)">HMY Yacht Sales</a>, Permira Advisers, and Boats Group. Notably, the Yacht World multiple-listing service, which is controlled by its parent companies Permira and Boats Group, is also implicated in this case.However, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/833" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Denison Yachting (Company)">Denison</a> has chosen a distinct path from the rest, as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/833" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Denison Yachting (Company)">Denison</a>'s legal team filed a motion to dismiss the charges against their client alone. In a bold move, they distanced themselves from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2575" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Galati Yacht Sales (Company)">Galati</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1102" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Allied Marine (Company)">Allied Marine</a>, suggesting in their arguments that if guilt were to be assigned, it would more likely fall on these two.Christopher M. Brainard, the attorney for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/833" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Denison Yachting (Company)">Denison</a>, described the lawsuit against his client as merely a 'cut and paste' from recent class-action lawsuits that have disrupted America's real estate commission system. Brainard argued that although the system for selling boats may seem similar to home sales on the surface, the underlying mechanics of yacht sales are fundamentally different. He emphasised to the judge that the arguments which undermined the National Association of Realtors do not apply to the context of yacht sales.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/292157/image/large-1fe7b7eb29843cceb1d513bfab6f9a7a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/292157"><a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a> has reached out to the involved brokerage houses, but none have responded with a comment. As this case progresses, <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a> will continue to monitor its development, as the outcome could have profound implications for the practices of yacht brokerage.
