There are few duos that have such a story of success as Mark Elliott and Carrie Freeman, yacht and charter brokers with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>. Having started out in the industry as Mark’s assistant, Carrie Freeman has taken leaps and bounds in her career over the last 10 years, while Mark has built a reputation of excellence in yacht brokerage over the last two decades.&nbsp;2021 was a bumper year for them both, with Mark closing the deals of no less than six superyachts in December, while Carrie sold more than 115 charters. In Q4 of 2021 the pair were awarded the Top Charter Broker and Top Sales Broker awards at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> respectively, recognising their collaborative success. I sat down over Zoom in Amsterdam, with Carrie and Mark dialling in from opposite sides of the States, to find out a little more about their recipe for success and the power of this formidable pairing. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/199019/image/large-fe81786b7bfec6de1a7c1fc494b5b814.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/199019">So let's start off with a quick recap of your careers in yachting, how did you get here?Carrie: I actually started off onboard yachts, I was a stewardess for 10 years on charter and private boats and then seven years ago I joined <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> as Mark’s sales and charter assistant. My role was assisting him with his workload with yacht sales and managing clients charters. With his support I was promoted to charter broker. Mark and I work together managing the all of our clients sales and charter needs.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/217588/image/large-8df6c59b248bc29460336fe87b09d969.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/217588">Mark: Well, I grew up in Miami and got involved in yachting at a very early age, becoming a captain when I was still very young. I was a corporate charter captain for 20 years and combined that with a love of flying, which saw me flying helicopters off the back of superyachts. 22 years ago I retired from life on the water and joined <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> and I have been with them ever since. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/217589/image/large-e99ae030f5049a0678404c9d8941c3fe.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/217589">With six sales in one month and more piling onto your order books, how do you two manage so many clients?Mark: Well, first, when you're juggling so many closings, you don't get a lot of sleep and you need a good support team, as in the amazing Carrie Freeman, and also we have an assistant named Aly Merrill. Between the three of us we stay on the phone and stay busy. It also wasn't just six closings in December. It was multiple charters and contracts that Carrie was doing as well. So it was a crazy, crazy time. I don't think I slept well since the beginning of September because while even those deals closed in December, the work had been running for months before that!&nbsp;Is the volume of sales and charters that you are currently experiencing usual for your 22 years?Mark: I would say there hasn’t been a market like this since 2008 when the last market correction happened. It is really a seller’s market and it has been for the last two years, but I don’t expect it to last, the market always swings, as is its nature. For us this activity has been highly unusual.Carrie: We are absolutely seeing that echoed in the charter market, particularly with first time charterers entering the market for the first time. We are also &nbsp;thankful to have a good amount of referrals coming in.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/72192/image/large-1a7ea97669288f83f4e82170ceb8f842.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/72192">When you have those first time charterers, how do you approach that client, someone who may be unknown to yachting, in a unique way?Carrie: Yeah, starting off with talking about the experience that they're going to have and finding out what they're looking to get out of their charter is so important. This helps to set the charter up for success, and it also helps us match the clients with the right charter yacht that’s going to meet those expectations. So if it’s kids, you’re looking for a boat that has all the water toys under the sun and an incredible crew that are really kid focused. It is really about tailoring the experience so that they keep coming back. &nbsp;We're having great success with clients wanting to charter again and incorporating different parts of the world.&nbsp;So do you foresee challenges this year with matching the right available yacht, both for sale and charter, to those clients?Carrie: Oh absolutely, with Covid there were so many rescheduled charters from the previous years, filling the booking calendars early. Most of the best boats in the Mediterranean are sold out for 2022 already, there are owner’s already booking for 2023. Greece is booking particularly quickly because it is so popular. We are currently jumpstarting the process with all of our clients because otherwise we will be late to the party!&nbsp;Mark: In sales it is literally a case of hunting. We have a list of yacht types that various clients are looking for and it's really a case of being on the ground and finding those boats. Inventory is low and clients are paying a premium – a true seller’s market! You have to find out what motivates people to sell and also to buy. Covid has kind of been a silver lining for yachting because people have realised it's a safe bubble onboard a yacht. Consequently, it has evaporated the market for quality yachts for sale. I make routine visits to marinas and shipyards, talking to captains and owners and discussing if their yachts could be negotiated for sale. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/73284/image/large-16e22f3c0cb02060e7a013edc3eb6f78.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/73284">But despite this much competition, you’ve both done fantastically, what do you think the secrets to success in the superyacht industry are?Mark: Carrie and I have a background in yachting that means we know the nuts and bolts behind the boats. We know what we are talking about and I think when you truly know a product, you have a huge advantage. We also follow the yachts, we are always on location and nearly never at the office and that is vital, it is really important to keep your name in the game. It is also important because we manage crew and knowing the captains helps us stay on top of that process as well.&nbsp;In terms of charter location, there has been a lot of talk about people travelling further afield, have you seen this reflected?Carrie: It is definitely a trend we’ve seen, people are chasing something unique, looking to get further from the norm and though the usual spots are still popular, we have a growing interest in the Arctic and Baltic areas. The nice thing is that we have a brilliant network to call on whenever a client is looking to charter somewhere new to us, and we will always ensure there is a strong support around the yacht when they go somewhere new. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/212901/image/large-e4084d46265218512bfd983c1916365b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/212901">Finally, what are your predictions for 2022 and 2023?Mark: As long as the stock market is strong we are going to see this bull market. Manufacturers supply to demand and right now there is massive demand, and it's going to take a while for them to meet it. However, that is usually around the time that the market changes, so builders will need to be careful not to create too much stock or they risk sitting on partly built or unsellable boats.Carrie: We have had such an increased interest in charters, I don't see any slowing down at all. In fact, I will say several of our charter clients have turned into owners and are looking at getting on the ownership side of our industry, which is natural when they are chartering multiple weeks per year. It's also impacted the supply of yachts on the charter market side with really popular charter boats selling and going private.&nbsp;Mark: I don't see the charter market demand ever diminishing. I see it increasing, whereas in sales that buyer's and seller's market will have a swing.&nbsp;

The Suez Canal Authority (SCA) has increased the transit surcharge applied to yachts using the canal, raising it from 14 percent to 26 percent of normal transit dues.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291466/image/large-ee3cbb034446ab3174540d0191674f33.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291466">The revised surcharge came into effect on 15 July 2026 under SCA Periodical 25/2026 and applies to yachts transiting the canal in both northbound and southbound directions. The increase affects vessels classified by the Authority as "special floating units", a category that includes yachts and pleasure craft.While the surcharge has increased, the SCA's underlying transit tariff for yachts remains unchanged, having last been revised in 2024. The total cost of a transit will continue to depend on a yacht's tonnage, meaning the financial impact will vary between vessels.Read more:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/65528" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="How Gulf tensions are affecting superyacht operations (2026-03-05 13:00:00 +0100)">How Gulf tensions are affecting superyacht operations</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400483/image/large-89587478c15bc83b3f2cd3398218b6b3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400483">The Suez Canal is one of the world's most important shipping routes and remains a key passage for superyachts repositioning between the Mediterranean and destinations including the Red Sea, the Arabian Gulf, the Maldives and Southeast Asia. The latest surcharge increase adds to the operational costs associated with long-distance passages through the waterway. The SCA has described the surcharge as temporary and subject to prevailing market conditions.The revised rates come as the Suez Canal continues to operate against a backdrop of reduced commercial traffic in recent years, with many vessels opting to avoid the Red Sea because of regional security concerns.&nbsp;Although some superyachts have continued to use the route, others have chosen alternative passages depending on operational requirements and security assessments.

Luxury has always been central to yacht design, but what defines luxury is changing. Where once the focus centred on expansive entertainment spaces and lavish amenities, today's owners are placing greater value on something less tangible: wellbeing.Across luxury residential and hospitality design, wellness has evolved from a desirable addition to a fundamental design principle. The same shift is now taking place within the superyacht industry, influencing not only the features incorporated on board, but also the way designers think about space, materials and the overall onboard experience.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399619/image/large-d755755c61405dc5e544229023063dfc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399619">For yacht designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6544" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Carla Guilhem (Company)">Carla Guilhem</a>, whose career spans luxury residences, hospitality projects and yacht interiors, the change has been impossible to ignore."I began noticing the shift several years ago as clients started prioritising quality of life over traditional luxury," she explains. "Conversations moved beyond aesthetics and entertainment spaces towards how environments could support health, recovery, longevity and emotional wellbeing."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399618/image/large-9718d69e0a17b306b32cc2ec33d01cc7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399618">A new definition of luxuryToday's yacht owners are increasingly health-conscious and intentional about how they spend their time. Many lead demanding professional lives, travelling frequently and balancing high-pressure careers, making their yacht one of the few places where they can truly disconnect."They view their yacht as a place to recover and reconnect with family," says Carla. "They expect environments that support better sleep, reduced stress, cleaner air and a stronger connection to nature. Wellness is no longer considered a luxury – it is becoming an expectation."That evolution represents a broader shift in the purpose of a yacht. Rather than serving primarily as a platform for entertaining, owners are increasingly seeking spaces that encourage privacy, reflection and meaningful time with loved ones."A decade ago, many yachts were primarily focused on entertaining," Carla notes. "Today, owners are increasingly seeking privacy, recovery, meaningful family experiences and opportunities to disconnect from constant demands."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399620/image/large-99397646557b8672b3fc877434607f6c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399620">Lessons from residential designCarla believes her background in residential interiors has been instrumental in shaping her approach to yacht design. While the technical constraints differ, the underlying objective remains the same: creating spaces that enhance everyday life."Residential design taught me that the most successful spaces are the ones that positively influence daily life," she explains. "The goal is not simply to create beautiful spaces, but spaces that genuinely improve how people live and feel."That philosophy is increasingly reflected in yacht interiors, where many of the design principles first established in luxury homes are finding a place on board. Comfort has become as important as craftsmanship, with natural materials, layered textures, softer forms and flexible family spaces replacing more formal, highly decorative interiors.Owners, Carla believes, no longer want a yacht that resembles a luxury hotel. Instead, they are looking for spaces that capture the comfort and familiarity of home while still delivering an exceptional level of refinement.Her experience across residential, hospitality and marine projects also provides an insight into broader lifestyle trends before they become firmly established within the yacht sector."Wellness, longevity, remote work, multigenerational living and experiential luxury all appeared in residential projects before becoming central topics in yacht design discussions," she says.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399621/image/large-a481cddb12b2f269b900cafcae986470.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399621">Wellness beyond the spaAlthough wellness is often associated with onboard spas, gyms and treatment rooms, Carla believes those features represent only a small part of the conversation."For me, wellness is about creating an environment that supports both physical and emotional wellbeing," she says. "It includes light, acoustics, air quality, materials, ergonomics, privacy and connection to nature."Many of these elements are subtle, but together they shape the way people experience a space. Natural daylight, carefully considered acoustics and materials that create warmth and tactility all contribute to an environment that encourages relaxation without drawing attention to themselves."The most important wellness elements are often invisible," Carla explains. "A space that reduces stress, improves sleep, encourages relaxation and creates a sense of balance can be just as impactful as a spa or fitness centre."Applying these principles aboard a yacht inevitably presents additional challenges, but she believes the design intent should remain consistent. "We carefully consider natural light, circadian rhythms, material selection, airflow, acoustics and visual connection to the sea," she says. "Every design decision should contribute to a sense of comfort and harmony."Technology also has an increasingly important role to play, although Carla argues that its success lies in remaining largely unnoticed. "The most successful innovations are often the least visible. Technology should work quietly in the background, supporting comfort, health and personalisation while allowing the design itself to remain warm, tactile and emotionally engaging."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389934/image/large-7e682c4652bc70a30330635657eaedbc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389934">Designing around wellbeingThese ideas ultimately became the foundation for Project WOW, a concept that challenges conventional thinking by placing wellbeing at the centre of every design decision rather than treating it as an additional feature.The project emerged from conversations about the future of luxury and changing owner expectations. Instead of asking which wellness amenities should be incorporated into a yacht, Carla and her team began with a more fundamental question: what would happen if wellbeing became the starting point for the entire design process?<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389939/image/large-547bc95ee64178f331ae3c095a2caac4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389939">The answer extends beyond dedicated wellness facilities to encompass every aspect of the interior, from proportion and lighting to colour, texture and spatial flow. Each element has the potential to influence how people think, feel and behave while on board, creating environments that support emotional comfort as much as physical health.Looking ahead, Carla believes wellness will follow a similar trajectory to sustainability, becoming an expected element of every new project rather than a specialist consideration."The future of luxury is not simply about what a yacht offers," she concludes. "It is about how it makes people feel."As client expectations continue to evolve, it is this breadth of experience across residential, hospitality and yacht design that places Carla in an ideal position to respond to a new era of luxury – one in which wellbeing is becoming as fundamental as craftsmanship, comfort and performance.

The model evolves the range with a reimagined outdoor sanctuary and advanced low-emission engineering, and introduces what the shipyard describes as a new 'Pool Deck' concept.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400436/image/large-78d943f6d041071bba79bf22056c4bae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400436">Designed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3025" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Alberto Mancini Yacht Design (Company)">Alberto Mancini</a>, with interiors penned by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7412" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez (Company)">Matteo Thun &amp; Antonio Rodriguez</a>, the Seadeck 9 evolves the series' signature Fun Island into a 180-degree Pool Deck, conceived to strengthen the connection between the yacht and the surrounding seascape.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400428/image/large-c57c9848cb2e9ecc2d8c8d8dc74cd338.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400428"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400429/image/large-a8b8be06b9c816e7dfe31fd55b56c426.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400429">Unfolding into tiered terraces, the aft section flows from the swim platform into the main saloon, creating a single living space that extends from the water's edge into the yacht's indoor spaces.

We spoke with Roger about the systems, facilities and strategies that underpin their approach.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400470/image/large-4ceb08833994d9b729841ee78f6e196b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400470">What has been the most significant change in the business since completing your first yacht project?The biggest transformation has been in our engineering and manufacturing capabilities. In the beginning, our focus was on assembling the right team and delivering the interior of the 78-metre yacht to the standards expected by European shipyards and designers. Since then, we have invested heavily in engineering, production systems and machinery. What started as a project-driven operation has evolved into a fully integrated manufacturing business with dedicated engineering departments, advanced CNC machining capabilities, specialised finishing facilities and robust quality control systems. Our objective has always been to combine traditional yacht craftsmanship with modern manufacturing processes while maintaining the standards expected within the superyacht sector.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400467/image/large-60153eb48725bce03601f1af50379f27.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400467">How has your production capacity evolved as the company has grown?When we launched, we had 172 employees. Today, our core workforce sits at around 350 specialists, although we have demonstrated the ability to scale significantly when projects require it. During peak production on an ongoing Northern European project, we expanded to almost 500 personnel to support areas such as finishing, veneer preparation and painting. At standard production levels, we’re able to deliver approximately 1,200-square-metres of luxury yacht interiors annually. With extended shifts and overtime, that capacity increases to around 1,500-square-metres.One of the key lessons we've learned is that capacity is not simply about workforce numbers. It’s about understanding production bottlenecks and investing in the areas that create the greatest efficiencies. Paint, veneer processing and machining all involve curing or drying periods, so extending operations through additional shifts allows us to maximise utilisation of those assets.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400468/image/large-bbfff37808bf54abf0581945a33727ca.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400468">You have recently invested significantly in engineering and digital manufacturing. What is driving that strategy?Efficiency is a major focus for us as we look towards the future. Over the past year, we have invested heavily in CAD+T engineering software alongside ERP and SAP systems that allow us to track materials and components throughout the production process. Traditionally, yacht interiors have relied heavily on 2D engineering. We’re now transitioning towards fully integrated 3D workflows. The advantage is that the engineering model automatically generates bills of materials, cut lists and manufacturing information, which can then be transferred directly to our production machinery. Alongside the software investment, we have recruited highly experienced specialists from leading European yacht interior companies to support the implementation. Our goal is for the majority of our engineering output to be delivered through these integrated digital systems over the next 12 months.What investments have you made on the manufacturing side?We’ve invested approximately €2 million in machinery and equipment, with a long-term investment plan of around €4 million over the next five years. This includes new 5-axis and 4-axis CNC machining centres, upgraded spray-line systems and additional finishing capabilities. We have also expanded our paint operations significantly, with two large spray facilities now fully operational and a third currently being introduced. These investments are already generating substantial gains in efficiency, production quality and programme reliability. At the same time, we continue to invest in people. Technology is important, but it still relies on skilled craftsmen, engineers and project managers to deliver the final result.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400471/image/large-0fb460c7fc1ccd3662c37cb698e733d6.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400471">How does the new Oman facility fit into your manufacturing strategy?Capacity was certainly one factor, but the facility is really about manufacturing optimisation. The Oman facility has been established as a dedicated machining centre and houses much of our newest CNC equipment, focusing on high-volume cutting and machining operations. By relocating these activities, we can maintain a cleaner, quieter and more controlled production environment in Dubai, which is where clients visit for factory acceptance tests, mock-ups and project reviews. Machining generates dust, noise and material movement. Separating those activities allows us to improve workflow efficiency while creating a better environment for assembly, finishing and client interaction.&nbsp;How important is vertical integration to your business model?It’s fundamental. One of the reasons we remain competitive internationally is because we undertake a significant amount of work in-house. We have dedicated engineering, joinery, upholstery, finishing and metalworking capabilities operating within the same organisation. That allows us to maintain control over programme schedules, quality standards and costs. It also improves communication between departments and reduces reliance on external suppliers. For yacht projects, where tolerances are extremely tight and schedules are often compressed, that level of integration is a major advantage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400469/image/large-d88220b7d5cbb05fa65d2796fe97e3df.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400469">Looking ahead, what will define the next stage of growth for&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7319" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Interiors (Company)">Superyacht Interiors Dubai</a>?Growth remains important, but craftsmanship remains at the centre of everything we do. Technology improves efficiency and accuracy, but ultimately every yacht interior is still built by skilled craftsmen. Our objective is to combine those traditional skills with modern engineering and manufacturing systems, creating an environment where designers, shipyards and owners can realise increasingly ambitious projects. That balance between craftsmanship, innovation and collaboration is what will continue to define <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7319" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Interiors (Company)">Superyacht Interiors Dubai</a> in the years ahead.
