This represents a year-on-year increase of 7.6%, with more than half of the segment’s orders deriving from models above 80 feet.The made-to-measure segment between 30 and 43-metres recorded €608.1 million in order intake, representing 53.5% of the total, compared to €414.6 million and 36.4% in 2024. The 46.7% increase year-on-year reflects the segment’s significantly greater weight within the overall order mix during the period.In contrast, the superyacht segment above 43-metres in alloy totalled €66.1 million, accounting for 5.8% of total order intake, compared to €294.9 million and 25.9% in 2024.

The year-on-year increase of 3% &nbsp;was primarily supported by demand in the made-to-measure segment.The Middle East and Africa recorded €265.6 million in orders, representing 23.4% of total intake, down from €339.5 million and 29.8% in 2024. While the region continued to see activity in the made-to-measure and composite segments, the year-on-year comparison was affected by the inclusion of three superyacht orders in the prior year.The Americas totalled €271.1 million, accounting for 23.9% of total intake, compared to €222.2 million and 19.5% in 2024. This represents an increase of 22% year-on-year, reflecting stronger demand across both composite and made-to-measure models, particularly towards the end of the year.Asia-Pacific remained comparatively limited, with €23.9 million in orders, representing 2.1% of total intake, up from €18.6 million and 1.6% in 2024.Overall, the geographic distribution of orders in 2025 reflects relative stability in Europe, growth in the Americas, a reduced contribution from the Middle East and Africa compared to the previous year, and a modest increase in Asia-Pacific.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370929/image/large-3ff33c68bd9eb79649851d2a92eaeb2b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370929">Order backlog As of 31 December 2025, the order backlog stood at €1,715.7 million, representing an increase of 14.5% compared to 30 September 2025 and 3.1% compared to €1,663.9 million at 31 December 2024.Order backlog by segmentBy segment, the composition of the backlog reflects a greater weighting towards made-to-measure yachts, alongside a broadly stable contribution from superyachts and a reduced share from composite models.Composite yachts under 30-metres accounted for €275.3 million, representing 16.0% of total backlog, compared to €365.8 million and 22% at the end of 2024, a decrease of 24.7% year-on-year.The made-to-measure segment between 30 and 43-metres reached €732.7 million, accounting for 42.7% of total backlog, up from €554.3 million and 33.3% in 2024, reflecting a 32.2% increase year-on-year.Superyachts above 43-metres in alloy totalled €702.1 million, representing 40.9% of the backlog, broadly stable compared to €704.1 million and 42.3% in the previous year.Other businesses declined to €5.6 million, accounting for 0.3% of total backlog, compared to €39.7 million and 2.4% at 31 December 2024.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345521/image/large-30a3e8a5f540ae8ddee0f58d7a955771.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345521">Net backlogNet backlog, defined as the total value of orders not yet delivered net of revenues already recognised, stood at €828.6 million as of 31 December 2025.
