March brings a complex backdrop for the yachting industry, with global uncertainty continuing to influence buyer confidence and decision-making. In this episode of Inside the Market, we take a closer look at the yacht brokerage landscape as it stands heading into the spring season. Joining the discussion are Sue Grant and Tim Carbury, who share Berthon’s Top 7 Yacht Sales Insights for March 2026. This episode also marks a transition within the business, as Tim prepares to take over leadership of the sales group, with Sue stepping away after many years at the centre of Berthon’s brokerage activity. Across the market, conditions remain mixed. The new yacht sector is currently flat, with a noticeable slowdown in buyer activity. Rising build costs and wider economic pressures are leading some buyers to delay decisions, while others are shifting their focus towards brokerage yachts, where the gap in value between new and second-hand vessels has widened significantly. In contrast, the brokerage market continues to show steady activity. Sales are completing across a range of sectors, particularly in larger yachts and well-presented, recent listings. While enquiry levels vary by region, there is a consistent flow of transactions, supported by both new listings coming to market and committed buyers who are prepared to move forward when the right opportunity presents itself. Pricing and negotiation remain central to the current landscape. Buyers are approaching deals carefully and often making firm offers, but there is a clear willingness to proceed when agreements are reached. This has created a relatively balanced environment, where neither buyers nor sellers hold a decisive advantage. There are also differences in sentiment across the industry. While parts of the new yacht sector are experiencing more challenging conditions, the brokerage market remains active and responsive. As discussed in the episode, understanding these distinctions and responding accordingly is key to navigating the current environment. At the same time, some buyers continue to monitor the market rather than commit immediately, often waiting for greater clarity around geopolitical and economic conditions. However, as the conversation highlights, purchasing decisions in yachting are frequently driven by personal timelines as much as external factors, and interest in yacht ownership remains consistent. As ever, the fundamentals remain unchanged. Well-maintained yachts, realistic pricing, and clear market positioning continue to determine which yachts sell and which remain available. Key Points • The new yacht market is currently flat, with some buyers delaying decisions or moving into brokerage due to rising build costs.  • Brokerage activity remains steady, particularly in larger yachts and recent, well-presented listings.  • New listings are entering the market, with a mix of discretionary and necessary sales.  • Buyers are negotiating firmly but are following through when deals are agreed.  • Market sentiment varies across sectors, with brokerage remaining more active than new build.  • Some buyers are monitoring conditions closely before committing, influenced by wider geopolitical and economic uncertainty.  • Strong pricing, good presentation, and proper service history remain critical to achieving a successful sale.

In this episode we step aboard the remarkable Grey Wolf II (FPB 78-2) to explore a subject that is rarely discussed outside professional circles: MCA Category 0 certification, the highest operational coding available under the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency. Owner Peter Watson joins the conversation to explain why he insisted that she be built and operated to this demanding standard, even though it created extra work for the designer, the shipyard, and almost everyone involved in the project. Grey Wolf II is the only FPB yacht in the fleet to hold MCA Category 0 coding, allowing her to operate commercially anywhere in the world, without restriction to distance from a safe haven. For Peter, however, the motivation was not charter income. The goal was much simpler: safety and capability. As Peter explains, the MCA code has evolved over decades and incorporates lessons learned about stability, structural integrity, systems redundancy, and operational procedures. Achieving Category 0 status means a yacht has been designed and equipped to meet an extremely high standard of offshore safety. The discussion also looks at the new MCA coding requirements being introduced for 2027, which significantly raise the bar for vessels seeking or maintaining commercial certification. Grey Wolf II is currently being updated to meet the revised standard, a process that involves both physical upgrades and extensive documentation. Some of the modifications include replacing existing composite seacocks with custom stainless steel valves, installing additional electrical redundancy to ensure navigation lights remain operational even during total power loss, and adding new system shut-off controls and operational protocols. Beyond the engineering work, the updated code also introduces new administrative requirements, from cyber security policies to expanded safety management documentation. While the upgrades themselves are manageable for a yacht built with serious offshore capability in mind, the paperwork required to demonstrate compliance is considerable. Grey Wolf II’s ability to pass the new standards relatively smoothly is also a testament to the original design philosophy behind the FPB series and the work carried out during her construction in New Zealand in collaboration with designer Steve Dashew. Having already cruised extensively across the Pacific, visited remote regions including Antarctica, and completed long-distance voyages in both tropical and polar environments, she has proven herself as a genuine go-anywhere expedition yacht. Her next adventure: a family holiday, a Mediterranean cruising season, travelling through the islands of Greece with children and grandchildren aboard. It is a reminder that despite her formidable capability, she remains at heart a family cruising yacht, equally comfortable exploring the polar regions or enjoying relaxed voyages in the Mediterranean. In a world where many yachts are built for appearance or occasional coastal cruising, she stands apart as a vessel designed, built, and certified to operate anywhere on the planet. Episode 11.

Spring is approaching in the Northern Hemisphere, and with it the start of another yachting season. In this episode of Inside the Market, we take a closer look at the yacht brokerage landscape as it stood at the end of February 2026. Joining the conversation is Sophie Kemp, who has recently returned to Berthon after maternity leave and celebrates ten years with the company. Sophie specialises in sailing yacht brokerage and has also been closely involved in launching Berthon Essential, a dedicated platform for yachts under £110,000 designed to give smaller boats their own space in the market. https://boatsforsale.berthoninternational.com/  Together we discuss what we are seeing across Berthon’s five international brokerage offices and what buyers and sellers should understand as the new season begins. Conditions vary widely across the globe. In Newport, Rhode Island, over two feet of snow has made showing yachts a challenge, while changes to tariff structures are forcing some buyers to reconsider the costs of importing yachts into the United States and the wider implications for their businesses. Despite this uncertainty, the brokerage market continues to move. While enquiry levels remain modest overall, Berthon’s long-standing client base continues to provide stability, with more than half of transactions coming from repeat clients returning to buy or sell their next yacht. Pricing remains a sensitive issue across the market. There is pressure on values in many segments, particularly where there is a larger supply of comparable yachts available. However, well-presented yachts with strong pedigree, proper service histories, and good overall condition continue to attract buyers without difficulty. Another notable trend is buyer behaviour. A significant number of active leads are currently researching and monitoring the market rather than rushing to commit. With a good selection of yachts available in certain segments, many buyers feel comfortable taking time to evaluate their options before making a decision. The new yacht market continues to face challenges, although activity remains healthy in parts of the production segment. Major industry developments are also unfolding, including the widely reported bid by Donerail for MarineMax, a move that could have significant implications across the brokerage, marina, and service sectors. As ever, the fundamentals remain the same. Pricing correctly, presenting yachts well, and maintaining strong service histories continue to be the factors that determine which yachts sell and which remain on the market. Key Points • Newport office facing difficult showing conditions due to heavy snowfall, while tariff changes are creating uncertainty for some US buyers.  • Enquiry rates remain modest, but repeat clients continue to drive activity across the brokerage.  • Prices are under pressure across much of the market, although well-presented yachts still sell without difficulty.  • In segments with greater supply, buyers are taking time to research and secure the right deal.  • A larger number of active leads are monitoring the market rather than committing immediately.  • The new yacht market remains challenging, although activity continues in parts of the production sector.  • The proposed Donerail bid for MarineMax is a major development that could influence the wider yachting market.

Is Sweden the best place to find a proper cruising yacht right now? In this special crossover episode, Berthon Scandinavia (https://berthonscandinavia.se/en/) join BoatsinSweden (https://www.youtube.com/@BoatsinSweden) to share a practical, buyer-focused guide to the Swedish used boat market, and how to navigate it safely if you are shopping from abroad. Host Ingus Purgalis from BoatsinSweden (https://www.youtube.com/@BoatsinSweden) is joined by Magnus Kullberg from Berthon Scandinavia (https://berthonscandinavia.se/en/) , a broker with nearly 15 years in the trade and roughly 400 boats sold. Together they strip away the romantic brochure talk and get into what actually matters when you are wiring serious money for a serious boat. First, they unpack why Scandinavian yachts earn the “Swedish Gold” reputation. It is not a fairytale. It is often down to storage and environment. Boats spend months ashore each year, many inside heated storage halls, and in large parts of Sweden they live in brackish or even fresh water. That can mean less corrosion, less wear in the places you do not immediately see, and a better chance of finding an older boat that still presents well. As Magnus puts it, “The fact that it is less salt makes a difference. And also the fact that the boats are up on the land for six months makes a difference.” They also cut through a common assumption about the weak Swedish Krona. Yes, it can help, but Magnus explains that many premium listings are benchmarked against the wider European market anyway. In other words, the buyer does not always get a miraculous discount just because of currency headlines. The real advantage is often condition, provenance, and a sensible seller. When owners push prices beyond reality, the market responds fast. “If we put the price too high… we don’t get any enquiries.” If you are buying internationally, the most valuable section is the step-by-step process: broker versus private sale, what legal protections apply when buying from a company, and why a proper survey is still the best investment you can make. Magnus is blunt about doing the work early: “If you do the work good from the beginning… we don’t have this type of problems.” In his experience, issues after completion are rare, and the goal is simple: no surprises, no drama, no long-distance arguments. They also tackle paperwork that can quietly wreck resale value later, especially VAT evidence and registration. If you plan to cruise across borders, you want clean proof from day one. “If you don’t have the paper, but you know that it is paid, then you cannot prove it. And then you have a problem.” It is not glamorous, but it can save you from years of friction when you move countries, change flag, or try to sell. Finally, they talk about how deals actually get done in the real world: deposits, time limits, exclusivity, escrow handling, and how brokers can hold funds back until launch and sea trial if a boat is sold while in winter storage. It is the unsexy machinery that keeps buyers and sellers safe when the numbers get big. And for anyone dreaming of bluewater cruising, there is a reminder that cuts through years of over-planning and refit procrastination: “Just buy a boat… and go.” Audio pulled from the original BoatsinSweden video (https://youtu.be/XHbX_Zls8kc?si=HOoakN1BCtE0hCBr) published Jan 9, 2026.
