Auction Advisors has announced the approval of the sale of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7878" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ONE15 Brooklyn Marina (Company)">One°15 Brooklyn Marina</a>, following its application for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2024.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331041/image/large-41069672ff930cbb2ceee0128653db8f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331041">The auction of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7878" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ONE15 Brooklyn Marina (Company)">One°15 Brooklyn Marina</a> was held on 4 December at 11:00, with qualifying bids due two days prior on 2 December. There were a total of 36 potential bidders who registered their interest with Auction Advisors to stay notified about the auction.The auction saw a stalking horse bid from Radcliff Management LLC, with a $2,181,900 competing bid from SMI Properties Group LLC. A stalking horse bid refers to an initial bid made by a buyer, chosen by the seller, to set the minimum price for the asset being sold.The stalking horse bidder is often given certain advantages, like the ability to negotiate favourable terms and is typically protected by incentives such as breakup fees if another buyer wins the auction. This ensures the stalking horse bidder isn't at a disadvantage for taking the initial risk of setting the baseline offer.Radcliff opened the bidding up at $2,231,900, with the bidding increasing in increments of $50,000 to $100,000. Radcliff placed a bid of $3,500,000 and SMI declined the opportunity to bid further, following a short break to discuss it further.Auction Advisors declared the final bid of $3,500,000 from Radcliff to be the winning bid, with a backup bid from SMI of $3,450,000. Both parties were informed of the requirement to finalise new asset purchase agreements at the updated purchase prices. Radcliff was also advised of the need to increase their deposit to 25 percent of the successful bid amount.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/62139" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="One°15 Brooklyn Marina up for auction following bankruptcy (2024-12-03 12:30:00 +0100)">One°15 Brooklyn Marina up for auction following bankruptcy</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331042/image/large-36078af544beed36645b734d9c586078.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331042">The sale was approved on Friday 6 December by the Bankruptcy Court, with Auction Advisors Managing Partner Joshua Olshin commenting: “In many ways <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7878" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ONE15 Brooklyn Marina (Company)">One°15 Brooklyn Marina</a> is a trophy property, but it has had its share of challenges.”“The new owner has conducted a thorough review of the property and, with a revised business model, aims to turn it into a financial success.

The second edition of the Blue Design Summit officially opened yesterday at the Teatro Civico della Spezia, kicking off three days of high-level discussion, design showcases and industry insights under the theme From Water to Design. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/358852/image/large-b247988493e96cf506f69bdff5d2fd12.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/358852">As the flagship event of Blue Design Week, which takes place from 12 to 16 May 2025, the Summit brings together leading figures from the international superyacht design and shipbuilding sectors, including prominent Italian and global design studios, shipyards, and suppliers.Read: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/63247" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Blue Design Summit 2025 to return to La Spezia (2025-05-05 14:00:00 +0200)">Blue Design Summit 2025 to return to La Spezia</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360139/image/large-2735ff6b409bacd97c3f51843e8e7152.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360139">During the first half-day of the conference, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4509" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SuperYacht Times (Company)">SuperYacht Times</a>' Head of Intelligence, Ralph Dazert, presented our annual market report, while adding a real-time analysis of superyacht market trends based on first-quarter 2025 data.&nbsp;The headline finding was clear: the global superyacht market is stabilising following the post-COVID boom, but it is now evolving along two distinct trajectories. While the over 40 metre segment continues to demonstrate healthy growth, the 30 to 40 metre category is experiencing a marked decline in new orders.After peaking at 375 new superyacht sales in 2021, the market recorded 195 new-builds in 2024. At the same time, deliveries have continued to rise, from 163 in 2021 to 228 in 2024 as shipyards work through a once-record backlog of orders. That backlog stood at 695 yachts at the start of 2024 but has since begun to decline for the first time in years.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360142/image/large-0e57af53390af9de0374fcf22e4e9dda.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360142">The clearest trend, however, is the divergence between market segments. New orders in the 30 to 40 metre range dropped by 20 percent between 2023 and 2024, while those in the 40 to 50 metre bracket rose by 28 percent. In total, segments above 40 metres recorded a 13 percent increase in new orders during the same period.“The market is moving towards a two-speed dynamic,” said Ralph Dazert during the session. “Buyers in the upper segments are continuing to invest, while the more accessible size ranges are seeing hesitation, likely due to broader economic uncertainties.”In the first quarter of 2025 alone, new sales of 30 to 40 metre yachts dropped dramatically from 35 units in Q1 2024 to just 15. Units above 40 metres also fell, from 36 to 26, hinting at a potential slowdown across the board, possibly influenced by tariff announcements and macroeconomic pressures.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360141/image/large-9012db260b0ffe019d635576b6750ded.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360141">Despite the shifting market conditions, Italy continues to dominate the superyacht construction sector. In 2024, Italian shipyards accounted for 120 new yacht sales above 30 metres, more than double the combined total of all other competing nations. As of 1 January 2025, the country’s shipyards held 371 projects in their order books, representing 53 percent of the global backlog.Notably, Italian projects are also growing in scale. The average new-build from an Italian yard now measures 44 metres and 517 gross tonnes, indicating a trend towards larger, more complex builds.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360135/image/large-11a858505cfb7e42e87eeba855986e4e.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360135">These figures were underscored during a panel discussion that closed the first day of the Summit, which featured leading figures such as Vasco Buonpensiere of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) (Company)">Cantiere delle Marche</a>, Diego Deprati from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/375" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baglietto S.p.A.
