In this episode, Ben Cooper, Rob, and Alan from Berthon sit down, for their first attempt at recording a podcast, and share an insider’s look at the yacht market, fresh from a busy September of shows and racing. Rob reports back from the Cannes Yachting Festival, where Solaris unveiled the new 60 Coupé alongside the latest 55, 50, and 74, while Ben and Alan reflect on the performance cruising sector and the innovation driving today’s sleeker, faster designs. From the flush decks of Solaris to the growing demand for wide transoms and twin rudders, they discuss how expectations for speed and style are shaping modern blue water and coastal sailing. Ben also recounts racing at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup 2025 in Porto Cervo, where 43 yachts battled in sunshine and Mistral breezes across stunning coastal courses. Alongside the excitement on the water, the team reviews brokerage trends across cruising and motor yachts, highlighting a price-sensitive market with strong opportunities as owners and buyers look ahead to next season.
