With local yacht owners on the rise and an increase in inbound brokerage following the Covid-19 pandemic, the eyes of the industry had certainly begun to turn their attention to the region, with a number of brokerage houses, such as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Camper & Nicholsons International (Company)">Camper &amp; Nicholsons</a>, opening new offices in Asia to serve the upsurge of new local clients. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/284216/image/large-19bfd3aa667459a0e42f62a8ea7460ce.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/284216">In a presentation during the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/182" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2023">Monaco Yacht Show</a> last year, Dutch yacht builder <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> indicated that with 357 billionaires in China, 112 in Hong Kong and 54 in Singapore (calculated during a 2022 study), Asia had a huge potential for the market. However, despite the promising outlook, how is the market actually faring today, and what are local experts experiencing on the ground? One brokerage that has been well established within the region is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fraser (Company)">Fraser</a>, with a team based in Hong Kong. We sat down with Eric Noyel, Managing Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fraser (Company)">Fraser</a> Asia and Sales Broker Bart Kimman to get their perspective. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/306263/image/large-ee8a3fdad87a07567e22d2239e6a5c25.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/306263">Eric Noyel: I would summarise the current situation as follows; based on my observations in Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand, the inbound brokerage (pre-owned) market is very slow at present and nearly at a standstill in China. This is a sign of the market returning to normal after the large increase of sales witnessed during the Covid-19 period.&nbsp;The outbound brokerage (from Asia to the rest of the world) has experienced a good year in 2023 with several large vessels above 35 and up to 65 metres transacting at the beginning of the year. However the market is now losing steam as most of the large brokerage units that were on the markets from Chinese owners have now been sold and exported abroad. The inventory of quality listings is therefore very limited currently.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/55141" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Will there be an upsurge of yacht building in China? (2022-05-16 11:00:00 +0200)">Will there be an upsurge of yacht building in China?</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/284352/image/large-070a15a6bb599cfedd5341c6ba9be969.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/284352">Also noticeable is the fact that a number of Hong Kong superyacht owners have downsized and sold their larger vessels in favour of sub-30 metres, below 150 GT, which are mainly used as day boats. These owners also tend to prefer new or very recently launched vessels. In terms of new-build deliveries, it is clear that the leading brands have been <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1912" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Princess Yachts (Company)">Princess</a>. Both have seen an important flow of new deliveries in the 24-30 metre segment, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1912" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Princess Yachts (Company)">Princess</a> has been particularly successful with the X 95 across Asia. Phuket remains a large hub for superyachts in the region thanks to the existing infrastructure and on ground support. It is in Phuket that most stationary and visiting superyachts above 40-metres are located.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/54941" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="How Hong Kong could ignite a yachting boom in China (2022-04-12 14:00:00 +0200)">How Hong Kong could ignite a yachting boom in China</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296391/image/large-95d508b324ecd7c318bbff1e2ebdcef8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296391">Bart Kimman: I agree 100% with Eric's views on the superyacht market in Asia. However, I detect a ground swell post-Covid of boat owners who are looking to buy a 30-metre-plus yacht in the Region. Due to the long delivery lines, superyachts under 10 years of age and indeed cancelled in-build opportunities are attracting interest from buyers in Asia. Also it appears that very large yachts are returning to the region, offering great opportunities for charters in Asia waters. We spotted the 2019, 2,999 GT <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6204" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lady S93.0m (305'1&quot;)Feadship2019">Lady S</a> of Ao Po Marina in Phuket and we believe she is for charter. In Phuket now, the general consensus is that the market is coming back with new boats and a revitalised charter market that seems to be running longer outside the season.In terms of brands to watch, we have seen that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/313" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nautor Swan (Company)">Swan</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/293" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mulder Shipyard (Company)">Mulder</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> are becoming desirable brands and perceived as upmarket and exclusive, versus the hyper successful Italian and British brands which to an extent are losing exclusivity as a result of their popularity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/298417/image/large-96c95084c55301c4ce80ed32ef591fd2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/298417">Eric concludes; The market in Asia is now growing healthily, a number of newcomers have been brought to the sector and enjoyed the yachting lifestyle in recent years. The wealth’s level ensures a large untapped pool of potential owners exists. There is therefore no doubt that the growth is here to stay, and that the pace of this growth will be dictated by the speed at which the infrastructure will allow the industry to grow : berthings capacity, marine related Human Resources educational programs, support capacity such as lifting and repairs facilities.According to <a href="https://sytiq.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SYT IQ</a>, in 2022, the percentage of global yacht ownership held by Asians was at 6.4%, representing a total of 127 yacht owners. The figures for 2023 indicate a stable continuation of this trend.This article is featured in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/issue-48-superyacht-times-newspaper" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Issue 48</a>&nbsp;of the SuperYacht Times newspaper.&nbsp;<a href="https://shop.superyachttimes.com/report/the-superyacht-times-subscription" target="_blank">Subscribe now</a>&nbsp;to receive your copy straight to your door and never miss another issue.&nbsp;

In the fourth quarter alone, Net Revenues from New Yachts amounted to €214.2 million, reflecting an 8.9% rise over the €196.6 million recorded in the corresponding period of the previous year.An analysis of the factors contributing to the growth in Net Revenues from New Yachts reveals that the Yacht Division played a pivotal role, reporting €510.6 million, which represents a 9.9% increase compared to 2022. In a similar vein, the Superyacht Division significantly boosted the overall performance, generating Net Revenues from New Yachts of €238.3 million, marking a 19% increase. Additionally, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5648" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bluegame (Company)">Bluegame</a> demonstrated substantial growth, with Net Revenues from New Yachts reaching €91.3 million, a 20.2% increase compared to the previous year.Geographically, the European market demonstrated significant growth. Net revenues from new yachts in Europe experienced a substantial increase of 38.3%, rising from €417,268,000 in 2022 to €577,238,000 in 2023. Concurrently, this region's contribution to the total net revenues expanded, moving from 56.3% in 2022 to 68.7% in 2023.The Middle East and Africa (MEA) region exhibited the highest growth rate, with net revenues from new yachts increasing by 83.7%, from €42,641,000 in 2022 to €78,333,000 in 2023. The MEA region's share of the total net revenues also increased from 5.7% in 2022 to 9.3% in 2023.&nbsp;The Americas witnessed a decline in net revenues, decreasing by 46% from €171,497,000 in 2022 to €92,594,000 in 2023. Furthermore, the region's contribution to total net revenues dropped from 23.2% in 2022 to 11% in 2023.The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region also saw a decline in net revenues from new yachts by 15.8%, from €109,273,000 in 2022 to €91,999,000 in 2023. The APAC region's share of total net revenues also decreased from 14.8% in 2022 to 11.0% in 2023.&nbsp;The net cash position of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> as of 31 December 2023 stood at €140.5 million, reflecting a significant increase of €40.2 million from the €100.3 million recorded on 31 December 2022. This improvement in the net cash position was achieved after accounting for several key financial activities throughout the year, including the distribution of dividends amounting to €22.9 million, a share buy-back initiative costing €3.3 million, organic net investments totaling €44.5 million, and the financial impact of €11.3 million related to changes in the net financial position (NFP) from the consolidation perimeter adjustments. These adjustments were notably influenced by the acquisition and subsequent consolidation of majority stakes in Duerre and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7075" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sea Energy (Company)">Sea Energy</a>, marking a strategic expansion of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a>'s operational footprint.In the fourth quarter of 2023, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a>'s order intake was €207.8 million, a 30% increase from the €159.1 million recorded in the same period of 2022. This contributed to a total of €812.3 million in new orders for 2023, slightly below the €894.7 million seen in 2022. The change reflects a market normalization, partially due to the impact of extended yacht delivery times, with schedules planned up to 2028.Commenting on the strong financial performance Perotti stated: “The performance of the year is substantiated by the growth of all the main metrics – at income and assets level, as well as in terms of constant ability to generate new cash to support future investments and the remuneration of our shareholders.”“In this perspective, we signed in December the contract for the acquisition of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1011" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Simpson Marine (Company)">Simpson Marine</a>, allowing us direct control in the APAC area towards which we have significantly high expectations in the medium-long term, but not only: the capillary structure in the South-East Asia will be synergic with the international development strategy of services.

According to <a href="https://sytiq.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SYT iQ</a>, there has been a significant 51% decline in the total sales of 24-metre plus sailing yachts in 2023, with only 51 recorded compared to 105 in 2022. This not only marks a decline after two years of growth but also positions 2023 as the lowest point in the past six years, as illustrated in the graph below. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/297173/image/large-e9706a41deccf3e4753df9f929176789.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/297173">Examining new sailing yacht sales also reveals a significant 42% decrease, with only 14 sailing yachts sold compared to 24 in 2022.

These costs are supply chain instigated (primarily from Covid-19) from a few years ago but not soon or likely to readjust again based on my limited discussions with buyers and a few notable yards in the EU.”A significant downturn is also echoed in the used sailing yacht market, marked by a notable 52 percent decline in 2023, with only 37 sailing yachts sold compared to the 81 in 2022. Georges attributes this “in part to a scarcity of good listings, possibly due to owners holding onto their yachts rather than listing them for sale. The remainder of this negative news about sailing yachts may be indicative of a parallel downturn in the overall yacht market.”&nbsp;According to <a href="https://sytiq.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SYT iQ</a>, the largest used sailing yacht sold in 2023 was the 86-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5516" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Aquijo86.0m (282'2&quot;)Oceanco2016">Aquijo</a>, with Gary Wright and Jonathan Zwaans of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/259" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Y.CO (Company)">Y.CO</a> introducing the buyer and Robert Shepherd and Bruce Brakenhoff Jr of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/124" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Edmiston (Company)">Edmiston</a> representing the seller.

Regattas are fantastic – but they’re not the only way to enjoy a sailing yacht. We promise! There’s a great romance to slowing down, catching the wind and cruising in near silence, without the use of an engine, surrounded by friends and family. <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a> sat down with Mark van Gelderen of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TWW Yachts (Company)">TWW Yachts</a>, who shares his insights on the sailing yacht market today and gives his view of the ideal size in the market. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/275500/image/large-958ecb4848e27732f4a4e76dc2cbbbaf.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/275500">“<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/865" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Carinthia VII97.2m (318'11&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2002">Corinthia</a>-style yachts used in Regattas are certainly in vogue but they’re full-blooded performers,” said Mark van Gelderen. “For a first-time buyer, they may offer a bit too much, giving the impression that sailing yachts are solely designed for speed and endurance – which isn’t necessarily the case.”When walking among the tall masts at any boat show, it's common for performance to be wrongly emphasised as the main talking point. Okay. For some, maybe not. But for many, yes. Sailing is accessible to everyone, and buyers can be as involved in the sailing as they desire - We shouldn’t forget that.So if you’re interested yet intimidated by sailing yachts, don’t be. They can be enjoyed just as much by first-time owners as they can by seasoned sailors. Knowing which one to buy is important though.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/273498/image/large-a507fd333a816a9c6309904ef2b556ec.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/273498">It’s all dependent on individual usage, but a rule of thumb for a sailing yacht is to look at the 30 to 40-metre category. “The sweet spot,” Mark confirmed. And understandably then, there aren’t too many on the market. Out of the nearly 600 yachts built, approximately 80 are currently on the market, with only six being constructed in the past 10 years. Those that take ownership, keep it that way.“A sailing yacht between 30 to 40-metres is ideal for every type of buyer: it can be crewed by as few as two; typically it has a functional general arrangement and accommodation for eight to 10 guests; are able to make crossings and can quite literally sail around the world, safely and comfortably; and is a good size for an owner who’d like to be involved in the sailing and operations.”There are numerous builders worldwide capable of delivering exceptional yachts of this size. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/151" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Southern Wind (Company)">Southern Wind</a> builds high-quality and freshly designed sailing yachts in South Africa at a good price. In Scandinavia, Baltic Yachts stands out as a builder that champions innovation and constructs some of the most high-tech sailing yachts available.

The only compromise is the owner’s suite, which is substantially smaller than you’d find on a larger monohull.”“It’s a small price to pay though,” Mark said, smiling. “After all you want to be out by the water and not spending time in your stateroom.” Some of the major players in the multihull segment include <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6072" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lagoon Yachts (Company)">Lagoon</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunreef Yachts (Company)">Sunreef</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4959" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gunboat (Company)">Gunboat</a>. “I’m personally very taken with the new <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4959" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gunboat (Company)">Gunboat</a> 72,” Mark added. “It’s futuristic, offers performance, plenty of deck space and I love the ‘galley-up’ configuration that invites conviviality.”“The apartment-on-the-water style multihulls are incredibly popular at the moment and a great choice for many, but I’d personally like to see more multihulls that take on more of the spirit of sailing.”This article is featured in Issue 46 of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a>&nbsp;newspaper. <a href="https://shop.superyachttimes.com/report/the-superyacht-times-subscription" target="_blank">Subscribe now</a> to receive your copy straight to your door and never miss another issue.

My Song: The electrifying performance of Nautor Swan’s latest sailing yacht

On the eastern Gulf of Thailand, around an hour and half drive from Bangkok, is Chon Buri: a thriving province that's lured backpackers and bohemians for centuries. It’s no wonder why – Chon Buri has a coastline peppered with natural enclaves of white sand beaches, which are lapped by crystal clear waters.

The fact that this is only the second time she’s been put on the market since her delivery over 30 years ago speaks volumes.“The superyacht was acquired in 2019 by a client who had major plans for her,” Maël Fiolet explained. “That very same year, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/243" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocean Pure 241.0m (134'6&quot;)Concorde Yachts1992">Ocean Pure 2</a>&nbsp;was booked in for a substantial refit and redesigned to a brief headed by the French concept of ‘art de vivre’.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/245565/image/large-a1eeba9c145c475a4b6af8d8d306a9e8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/245565"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/232904/image/large-f713f7ddbfe4bec6578467f197e7f7df.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/232904"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/232909/image/large-a26184c24659db1f077e83bb60eb2967.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/232909">“The 2019 refit was a game change for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/243" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocean Pure 241.0m (134'6&quot;)Concorde Yachts1992">Ocean Pure 2</a>,” captain Pietro Giordano added. “The owners have kept the core key features of the yacht and upgraded almost all the technical elements, designed a new fresh interior and revised some of her exterior features. The work is a big evolution compared to what she was, and what her two sister ships offer.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/243" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocean Pure 241.0m (134'6&quot;)Concorde Yachts1992">Ocean Pure 2</a> is modern and refined, furnished with a timeless earthly palette, with natural materials, such as leather, stone and linen found throughout.

She can carry as many as 11 guests and six crew. Her accommodation comprises a master suite with a walk-in wardrobe, a VIP suite, two doubles and a guest suite with both a double and a single bed.

She received a new engine and gearboxes, two new generators, shafts, and equipment upgrades. All lights, electrical system and plumbing were replaced, and her mast, rigging and sails were also inspected and upgraded. In addition, she benefitted from a full hull inspection, repaired keel and hull joint, copper coat antifouling, and new seacocks. Her stern was also remapped and she now has a full-size garage and a transom door for her beach club. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216792/image/large-c4c24c33ef8c26f5fabad54631e87a68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216792"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216793/image/large-5126cca0f88e1dfbcaf99f8d268d6f22.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216793">“Performance wise, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/243" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocean Pure 241.0m (134'6&quot;)Concorde Yachts1992">Ocean Pure 2</a> is what you’d expect from a blue water cruiser,” her captain explained.
