""There was this trajectory where you grew into large yacht ownership through a succession of smaller yachts, and now we see people leapfrogging that," Anders Kurten stated, emphasizing the shift in buyer behavior towards larger yachts from the outset."
""They want a seamless continuation of their on-shore lifestyle onboard," Kurten explained, noting the demand for features like entertainment for children and the ability to conduct business meetings from the yacht."
""The priciest superyacht of the year, named Breakthrough, underscores the market's shift," highlighting its luxury features and a staggering asking price of $793 million."
Sales of preowned superyachts reached $6.4 billion in 2025, a 36% increase from 2024. New superyacht sales also rose by 6%. Younger buyers, particularly from tech industries, are now entering the market, often purchasing larger yachts directly. They prioritize sustainability and advanced technology, desiring features that enhance their on-shore lifestyle. The most expensive superyacht sold, Breakthrough, highlights this trend with luxury amenities and a price tag of $793 million, available for charter at $4 million per week.
