Yachts attending the Mediterranean Yacht Show 2024

We take a look at yachts attending this eighth edition of the world's largest crewed yacht charter show, which is returning to Greece this year. 

The largest yachts attending the Mediterranean Yacht Show 2024

While many are still reeling from the impacts of the global pandemic, we’ve now moved far enough away from the event to garner insight into how its impacted attitudes and behaviours, and whether new trends have emerged from those dark years. In our context – yachting – there aren’t many people better placed than Michel Chryssicopoulos, Global Managing Partner at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>, to shed light on how the pandemic impacted the yacht market.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/61533/image/large-2125a354dc0b0205706e60c7108b905c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/61533">During the <a href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2022">2022 Monaco Yacht Show</a>, Michel Chryssicopoulos welcomed SuperYacht Times onboard the 59.4-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/515" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Idyllic59.4m (194'11&quot;)Benetti SpA2008">Idyllic</a>, the smaller of the two yachts that the brokerage house presented at the event, to discuss new and emerging trends in the market.&nbsp;Michel, can you briefly introduce yourself and explain what you’ve been up to at&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>?&nbsp;My name is Michel Chryssicopoulos and I’m half Danish, half Greek – a combination of two heritages. I lived in the US for quite a few years before joining the family yachting business in 2003. My business partner and I then bought <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> in 2016, working hard to reorganise and restructure the brokerage house, shaping it into the solid, lean and aggressive company that it is today. We hired quite a few young people and we’re doing very well, riding on this extremely strong market that we’ve all witnessed these last few years.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/208226/image/large-6db7e58c3ee47fd896e60f0c8487a20e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/208226">There was a surge of sales during the immediate period after the pandemic; has the bubble burst?March 2020 came as a shock to all of us. During those early months it truly felt like we had come to the end of an era. The market performed in the exact opposite way then our initial reaction presumed it would: during these past three years we’ve followed the market, and possibly out performed the market on both the brokerage and new build side.&nbsp;Last year alone we had 91 superyacht sales, across our 14 offices. As we speak, we have eight new build projects underway, including the 43.9-metre Project Illusion that you featured in <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/magazine/how-to-build-it-issue-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">How to Build It</a>, as well as two superyachts exceeding 70-metres, both under <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5565" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The Italian Sea Group (Company)">The Italian Sea Group</a> umbrella. There’s a lot of exciting stuff to come.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/208222/image/large-e87c34fa1e62fe78722d0b4e2400c08d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/208222">And have you felt the knock on effect in terms of supply chains and high lead times?Personally, I haven’t seen issues in supply chains causing an effect on large custom builds, yet. There are many ways to overcome certain hurdles, and I haven’t been confronted with longer lead times on our larger projects. We are dealing with a couple of series yachts, and I can feel the supply chain pinch more here, whether that’s sourcing engines or spare parts.&nbsp;Have you seen any recent changes in attitudes to cruising destinations?&nbsp;We definitely have seen a huge uptick in those looking to charter the waters of Greece. Pre-pandemic, the region accounted for less than 15 percent of the global charter market, but now it's the most visited destination, claiming &nbsp;close to 30 percent of the market. We have a big presence in the region, with 50 superyachts available for charter in Greece alone – all of which were pretty much booked throughout the whole season. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/245053/image/large-ac8e56a3c18507dfd71a969b4049c21f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/245053">Have you noticed any demographic changes in the market?&nbsp;You know, it's a tough question. We’ve definitely seen an increase in young people entering the market, especially those from tech and crypto sectors. Notably, at the beginning of the year, we had a central agency on an 80-metre superyacht that was sold to someone that had made their money through Bitcoin. It’s a sector that’s been hit pretty hard these last few months, so we’ll likely see a downwind here. But there are definitely newcomers in the market. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/245018/image/large-91c7852578b220311d58c00b3847bf94.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/245018">How about regionally, have you seen any markets growing or dipping post-pandemic?&nbsp;There has been a significant uptick in American transactions – a region that has always been a huge driving force for our industry, but specifically for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> as we're also US based. I do expect with the US and Europe parity right now that the US will continue this drive. A Euro-denominated yacht is now better priced by 10-15 percent (quote, unquote, cheaper). Couple this with the depreciation scheme, which is expiring in the US at the end of the year. I think we can expect a nice last quarter to wrap up the year with a good bang – and then worry about 2023!Have wider conversations on sustainability-driven any market trends?&nbsp;Catamarans – both sailing and motor – are trending. I was cruising the Greek waters this summer and smaller catamarans are literally in every bay. It’s a trend that I believe is here to stay, and the market will keep on expanding both in terms of offerings and size. Five years ago catamarans were few and far between, and now it's definitely a segment of the market to watch. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/224720/image/large-baafe4c2e7762ae9ff47bf2640404830.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/224720">Can you share a few words about what’s new at&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>?&nbsp;We're aiming to become a tech company, &nbsp;so investing very heavily on the digital side of things, mainly for charter but for sales as well. We’ve acquired an IT company with 10 developers, and we’re aiming to have an E-commerce environment on our website, within the first quarter of 2023.&nbsp;

The brokerage market is the part of our industry that is naturally most reactive to world events but, despite the pandemic, has fared well during these unique times.

In this series of articles the SuperYacht Times intelligence team analyse the used Benetti yacht market and sales. 

SYT iQ: Benetti's performance on the used yacht sales market

The 2008-built 59-metre Benetti superyacht I Dynasty has recently changed hands after having been jointly listed for sale through Merle Wood &amp; Associates and SuperYachtsMonaco at an asking price of $29,500,000.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/166467/image/large-c7f22b9727c12c7406f6b9dbf5334a9b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/166467">

I Dynasty’s lavish interior was designed by Studio Massari and her grand exterior was done by none other than Stefano Natucci. Together they created a comfortable and relaxing environment on board that exudes style, luxury and class as one of the finest Benetti’s of her kind.

59m I Dynasty renamed I Man following sale

Singapore Yacht Show kicks off this week

The Singapore Yacht Show has announced the attendance of the 59.30 metre Benetti superyacht I Dynasty. Being presented by SuperYachtsMonaco, who have just listed the yacht for sale, it is her first time on the market since her launch in 2008. I Dynasty is now the biggest yacht being exhibited at the show and will be making her boat show debut.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/143337/image/large-303b54de9fcd1701a6e5765116c6bd76.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/143337">The choice of the Singapore Yacht Show for I Dynasty’s debut is down to the potential that SuperYachtsMonaco sees in the Asian market. “We are seeing a significant increase in activity in the Asian sphere: there is more interest in yachts and yachting and there is infrastructure being created around the region to cater for the increasing demands for yachts,” said James Auld and Jim Evans of SuperYachtsMonaco.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/143338/image/large-16c3d9d7d1e3f3445d8f9bfc47b7190c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/143338">“Singapore’s central geographical location in the Far East and position as an international financial hub makes the island both accessible and attractive to potential yacht clients and we expect a large number of qualified yacht clients to visit the boat during the Show. We note the large numbers of new ultra high net worth individuals and billionaires that are emerging in the wider region from China to Australasia and we are committed to service that market.”They are not alone in their confidence in both the Singapore Yacht Show and the Asian yachting market, and I Dynasty joins an impressive fleet of exhibiting yachts that includes 57.5m S/Y Twizzle, built by Royal Huisman, 40m M/Y Tanvas, built by Sunseeker, and Kingship’s 42m M/Y Star.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/143339/image/large-30399e23cc15cb65688adeddf193b929.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/143339">“We are delighted that SuperYachtsMonaco will be exhibiting I Dynasty at the show,” said Andy Treadwell, Managing Director of the Singapore Yacht Show. “A beautiful yacht, from one of the world’s leading builders, she will no doubt be top of the list to view for many visitors.”Superyacht <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/515">I Dynasty</a> has an asking price of € 36,000,000SuperYachtsMonaco James Auld +33 61 33 60 790 <a href="mailto:JA@superyachtsmonaco.com?subject=M%2FY%20I%20Dynasty%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">JA@superyachtsmonaco.com</a> <a href="http://www.superyachtsmonaco.com" target="_blank">www.superyachtsmonaco.com</a>
