Ahoy Club has officially announced its expansion into yacht sales with the sale of the 37.92-metre Tansu motor yacht So’Mar. Thor Knappe of SuperYachtsMonaco introduced the buyer, while Peter Thompson led the team that successfully sold So’Mar within days of launching the sales arm of Ahoy Club. 
The award-winning yacht So’Mar features interior and exterior design by her builder Tansu Yachts with naval architecture from the boards of Diana Yacht Design. The wooden yacht was delivered in 2014 and is able to accommodate up to nine guests across four staterooms.
Although So’Mar has exclusively cruised the Mediterranean extensively since her launch in 2014, she can take longer voyages and explore lesser-known locations due to her economical consumption and 3,500 nautical mile range. At the time of her sale she had a last known asking price of €7,900,000.
Ahoy Club led by CEO, Ellie Malouf, shares her inspirational vision for what she calls a natural expansion into yacht sales. “Yacht sales is a natural extension to bring what has been so successful for Ahoy Club in the charter market, which is great customer service, great technology and systems, the widest selection globally, transparent pricing, and a strong female presence.”

From chartering, managing, refitting, relocating, and rebuilding, the business is excited to share the wealth of knowledge and experience they have with this newly created division. “We’re excited for this new venture and believe this will only strengthen our positioning in the market,” commented Ian Malouf.
Ahoy Club already knows how to manage and navigate the sales process with the redesign of the 72.54-metre Lürssen superyacht Coral Ocean. “Coral Ocean was completely booked out for her first charter season in the Mediterranean this year, and is the seventh yacht I’ve purchased,” explained Ian Malouf. “Every yacht has had a different purpose for me, so I’ve had to make choices depending on my end-goal as an owner. We’re excited to be part of many other owners’ buying and selling journeys now too.”
Also joining the Ahoy Club team is Julia Simpson as its new Commercial Director, as well as well-known global yacht sales broker, Peter Thompson as its Global Sales Director. The new global sales team brings together over 40 years of experience in yacht sales, with over 70 yachts sold globally and transacted over €1 billion worth of sales.
Ahoy Club currently has five vessels exclusively under its Sales Central Agency, including the impressive 72.6-metre Quantum Of Solace built by Turquoise Yachts asking €56,400,000.
