Spanning over 800 metres in combined length and exceeding €520 million in total sales, the 16 yachts sold—each over 30 metres, with eight surpassing 50 metres—represent an exceptional start to the year. This milestone not only underscores our commanding presence in the global superyacht market but also reflects the strength and momentum built throughout 2024, with Q1 closing stronger than in any of the previous three years.
Alex Koersvelt, Commercial Director at Edmiston, comments: “Building upon our strong momentum of 2024, with 16 yacht sales closed, five of which were over 65m, our optimistic outlook for 2025 is further emboldened.”
The yachts sold reflect a broad spectrum of size, design, and capability, underlining our commitment to identifying and negotiating the best deals for our clients, both on and off-market.
Some of our standout sales in recent weeks include the 74m NEW SECRET, the second hull in Amels’ acclaimed 242 Limited Editions series, penned by renowned designer Tim Heywood. The 65m RESILIENCE from ISA Yachts, a striking tri-deck yacht known for her expansive wellness features and contemporary styling, also changed hands. The 52m RED DRAGON, a fast, sleek performance cruiser, proved her enduring appeal with a swift sale. A 73m new-build Admiral was also sold, reflecting steady interest in new construction projects. And most recently, another off market 80m deal was completed.
Koersvelt adds: “Edmiston has built a strong team that works hard and closely together and genuinely supports each other to achieve success. We maintain our track record of selling our listings twice as fast as the industry average and identifying and brokering the best deals for our clients. When you have a conversation with an owner who is looking to sell and they perform their due diligence or is looking to get the best intelligence and advise to buy, this is a compelling rationale for choosing to work with Edmiston.”
This exceptional performance comes as we announce a wave of prestigious new listings to market. Highlights include DREAM the 60m by Abeking & Rasmussen, MOON SAND, a 56m pedigree build from Lürssen, the 50m OHANA, and the 46m EXCELLENCE V. Most notably, we have listed the iconic 115m Lürssen, AHPO.
Among our upcoming new build projects is the pod-propelled PROJECT FUN, a 50m Feadship set for delivery in March 2026, featuring exterior lines by Studio de Voogt and interiors by Marty Lowe—an exceptional opportunity to acquire a full-custom, sub-500GT yacht of pedigree and uncompromising quality. Also in build is PROJECT SECRET, a striking 52m hybrid-powered superyacht designed by the award-winning Philippe Briand, set to make her debut in 2026.
“Despite some of the noise and volatility in the markets, we experience a very healthy engagement and level of our activity with our clients giving us confidence for the weeks and months ahead across all our divisions,” says Koersvelt.
