Q1 2025 marks the strongest quarter in three years
Edmiston continues to lead the superyacht brokerage industry, building upon the strong momentum of 2024. With 13 yacht sales closed, we are pleased to announce we have finished Q1 stronger than our previous three years, reinforcing our position as the leading global superyacht brokerage.
Market Overview
In the first quarter of 2025, 76 yachts over 30m sold globally, with these transactions representing a total deal value of €1.07 billion. This now puts Q1 2025 as the strongest first quarter for the past three years.
The average time on the market before selling was 599 days, reflecting an 11% increase compared to the 2024 average, indicating a slightly longer sales cycle but sustained buyer interest in high-value vessels.
Price reductions are up again on the previous year, by 22%, whilst the flow of yachts joining the market is up just 10%. March is typically an active month for new yachts to market however we have seen a shift, January and February being strong and March new joiner numbers down by almost half.
Among the most significant sales this quarter is the 74m NEW SECRET, a landmark in-house deal, closing at the end of March. Other key transactions include an in-build 73m ADMIRAL, RESILIENCE – 65m, and RED DRAGON – 52m.
In addition to our sales success, we are pleased to represent PROJECT FUN, a 49.5m Feadship, presenting an exclusive opportunity to acquire a full custom sub-500GT of the highest quality available in the world today. Truly future-proof, PROJECT FUN features cutting-edge propulsion and energy solutions—including a state-of-the-art diesel-electric system paired with Veth pod drives—delivering optimal performance, sustainability, and long-term adaptability with reduced environmental impact.
