89.3% increase in yacht sales

Market Surge & Mid-Year Data

  • Massive July Growth: Data from BOATPro shows an 89.3% increase in yacht sales value for July 2026 compared to July 2025. Total transactions reached €762.4 million across 52 sales.
  • Record First Half: The global superyacht brokerage market recorded €4.05 billion in sales during H1 2026, marking one of its strongest historical stretches and a notable leap from €3.61 billion in H1 2025. The average asking price for yachts over 24 meters climbed to €14.4 million.
  • Listing Fragmentation: Brokers are facing a decentralized digital marketplace. Following steep listing price hikes by traditional single platforms (like Boats Group), firms are increasingly diversifying inventory across alternative channels like AYB Yachts and specialized forums to catch fragmented buyer audiences.
