📈 Record Performance in the Brokerage Market
February 2026 marked a pivotal positive shift for yacht brokerage. With 30 yachts over 24 meters sold for a total of €396.8 million, this far exceeded February 2025‘s 26 units at €172.7 million. This sharp rise signals a robust market recovery, highly promising for owners.
The 30-40 meter (98-131 feet) and 40-60 meter (131-197 feet) segments shine with exceptional vitality. Buyers adopt a data-driven approach, prioritizing long-term value, verified specs, and transparent pricing.
🎯 Favorable Conditions for Buyers and Sellers
In 2026, the market features a healthier inventory, steady demand, and predictable pricing. Unlike 2021-2022, negotiation opportunities abound, especially for recent, well-maintained yachts. Prices face downward pressure, but top-condition units sell fast.
Refit activity surges with investments in hybrid propulsion, next-gen stabilizers, and energy-efficient systems. These upgrades enhance vessel sustainability, a key factor for insurance.
