Ferretti Group denies allegations of breaching Italy’s golden power rules

The United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida has dismissed the entire complaint brought by Export Yacht Sales (Brill Maritime), which alleged that Boats Group illegally monopolised the US online boat-listing market through YachtWorld, Boat Trader and boats.com.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355047/image/large-0bd8f332392990f5a08cac6ea37b81d1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355047">The lawsuit was filed on 14 August 2025, with Brill Maritime alleging that Boats Group controlled approximately 75 percent of the market for listing and marketing recreational boats and used subscription agreements that either bar or discourage brokers and dealers from listing vessels on rival platforms.Read more: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/64073" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="US boat dealers bring antitrust class action against Boats Group (2025-08-21 13:00:00 +0200)">US boat dealers bring antitrust class action against Boats Group</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355053/image/large-d4b378b0bbe9bf56a1926a2d570b4fd5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355053">According to Brill Maritime, competing platforms had been unable to achieve the scale or inventory to grow their services effectively, leaving brokers and dealers with limited options.The court found that Brill Maritime had plausibly alleged that the relevant market could be defined as an online boat listing and marketing service in the United States and that Boat Group may possess monopoly power in that market.&nbsp;Brill Maritime also alleged that Boat’s Group claimed 75 percent of the global share, reasonably supporting an inference that it has a dominant position in the US market. As a result of this, the judge did not dismiss the case because Boats Group lacks market power.However, the judge said that Brill Maritime had failed to show that Boats Group engaged in illegal anticompetitive conduct and under US antitrust law, being a monopoly is not illegal by itself.The court repeatedly emphasised that monopoly power is legal, but using that power through anticompetitive behaviour to exclude rivals is illegal.&nbsp;The judge found that Brill Maritime’s three main allegations were insufficient including that Boats Group became dominant by acquiring competitors such as YachtWorld.com, boats.com and YachtCloser.com.The judge said that acquiring competitors is not necessarily illegal and that Brill Maritime had not explained how these acquisitions had harmed competition. The complaint had described the acquisitions as “strategic” suggesting it was more of a successful business move than illegal conduct. The judge explained that Brill Maritime had shown that Boats Group bought competitors, but not that these acquisitions were unlawful. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355039/image/large-513a0ee840e10e5371f647093bba58d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355039">Brill Maritime also claimed that Boats Group's subscription agreements stoped brokers from listing boats elsewhere. The judge examined the contract language and concluded that the provision merely prevented brokers from implying that a YachtWorld or Boats Group listing originated somewhere else. He therefore concluded that you can advertise on YachtWorld and on other sites and the contract simply prevented you from pretending a Boats Group listing came from another platform, meaning the clause is not an exclusive dealing arrangement.Finally, Brill Maritime argued that Boats Group had dramatically increased its prices. The judge responded that high prices alone are not an antitrust violation. The court cited multiple precedents saying a legal monopolist is generally allowed to charge whatever prices it wants. To prove monopolisation, Brill Maritime needed to show that the higher prices resulted from illegal exclusionary conduct.In conclusion, the judge accepted that Boats Group may hold monopoly power in the US online boat-listing market, but ruled that the plaintiffs failed to show that Boats Group acquired or maintained that position through illegal anticompetitive conduct.United States District Judge, Roy K. Altman dismissed the complaint without prejudice, meaning the plaintiff is able to resubmit an amended complaint, with a deadline of 30 June 2026.&nbsp;The lawsuit also contained claims under Florida law, with the federal court declining to hear the state claims as the federal antitrust claims were dismissed. These were also dismissed without prejudice, allowing for them to also be refiled.&nbsp;SuperYacht Times will continue to follow this story and will provide updates where necessary.

This legal framework aimed to enable them to restructure, while continuing to operate under the supervision of an independent expert.Following this, on 20 April, the Court of Florence granted protective measures for a maximum period of four months, restricting creditors from initiating or continuing enforcement actions against the company’s assets, including vessels currently under construction.The court also confirmed that these protective measures extended to shipowners, which prevented them from terminating their contracts of yachts currently under construction during the proceedings.The Court of Florence has now issued an order upholding the appeals filed by five shipowners which prevented them terminating their contracts. With respect to them it was also found that they were unable to exercise the other rights provided under their contracts.&nbsp;The court found that the yachts could not be covered by the protective measures because they were neither assets of the company, nor assets instrumental to its business operations.Read more:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/66150" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TISG enters restructuring phase after share capital falls below legal minimum (2026-05-22 11:15:00 +0200)">TISG enters restructuring phase after share capital falls below legal minimum</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330852/image/large-4bf3eaa2517d3433bc0352c08e9306b0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330852">The ruling also determined that the shipowners were not creditors against whom such measures could be applied and their right to obtain performance under the pending contract could not be satisfied through enforcement or interim measures.The order applies exclusively to the five shipowners who filed the appeals and has no effect on the other shipowners or creditors, with the previous measures remaining in effect for the duration already established by the Court.&nbsp;TISG also stated that these measures do not affect the ongoing negotiations with its main stakeholders, including shipowners, suppliers and financial institutions, as part of the company's economic and financial rebalancing plan which is currently in progress.The company also stated that, with regard to the affected shipowners, the substance of the contractual relationships remains unchanged despite the lifting of the protective measures.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5565" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The Italian Sea Group (Company)">TISG</a> said it will continue to provide updates on developments relating to the procedure and any further initiatives undertaken in accordance with applicable regulations.

Throughout his career, Adam has advised clients on significant yacht transactions, new build projects and refits, building long-standing client relationships and helping drive the commercial success of some of the industry's most respected brands. Widely respected for his discretion, strategic insight and meticulous execution, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> reflects his belief that exceptional client outcomes are achieved through independent advice and deep market understanding.Joining him as Founding Executive and CCO is Kurt Fraser, a strategist, creative leader and international business executive whose career spans more than 25 years across the superyacht, luxury lifestyle, resort development and marina sectors. Throughout his career, Kurt has driven business transformation and contributed to the growth and commercial success of a number of leading yachting brands.

Combining deep brokerage experience with proven strategic, creative and commercial leadership, the duo have built a business founded on both reputation and capability.Their partnership reflects a broader shift within the industry, where clients increasingly seek the agility, transparency and personalised approach often associated with boutique brokerage houses, without sacrificing the expertise and international reach traditionally offered by larger organisations. In this respect, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> blends established industry knowledge with a more modern, insightful and adaptable approach to yacht brokerage.A strategic advisory approachAccording to the Founding team, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> has been established in response to increasing fragmentation across the yachting experience, with clients often relying on multiple service providers and disconnected sources of information, or larger organisations whose structures can inhibit a truly performance-driven approach."Rather than concentrating solely on transactional brokerage activity, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> will work closely with clients to develop personalised yachting strategies that reflect their lifestyle objectives and long-term aspirations.

"However, clients today require more than access and execution. Better insight and better intelligence leads to better decisions and better experiences.

Draak: 93m yacht delivered following extensive rebuild at Oceanco

The 92.8-metre Oceanco superyacht Draak has been delivered following an extensive rebuild at the Oceanco facilities in Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands.

Gabe Newell’s 93m yacht Draak delivered following extensive rebuild at Oceanco

The 115 metre superyacht Issham Al Baher has always been a bit of a rare sight. However, she re-appeared on our radar a few years ago when she returned to the Med. The Caesar Pinnau designed superyacht, a sistership to Monaco resident Atlantis II, then moved on to Greece, where she was refitted. Some photos of the yacht appeared online, which led some to believe she was about to get scrapped, instead of being restored to her former glory.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/102167/image/large-8f38540c8f589e99cb3e234307381f87.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/102167"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/102163/image/large-e351ef047c7c8102a4dfc00c204c3c55.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/102163"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/102161/image/large-dbf0fffe35d8fc1e975ddbd3d75a56e0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/102161">Luckily these photos, send by SYT reader Alexandros Priftis, taken in Lavrio, show the yacht in pristine condition. She now has a blue hull, and we can see several cosmetic changes. The most notable are the new much larger portholes aft on her main deck, as well as a large new fashion plate on the tender deck. The tender deck itself now features much smaller tender cranes.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/136215/image/large-70d99d616175719b5f8b139685629fd3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/125920">As a comparison, this picture from before the refit shows Issham Al Baher in Malta on 28 August 2005.By Maarten Janssen, new photos by Alexandros Priftis
