Filippo writes…

As we approach the close of another remarkable year, we delighted to celebrate an exceptional milestone in our journey. In what has been a particularly difficult year for the market, marked by uncertainty and shifting conditions across the industry, we are proud to have remained a point of reference for the most passionate and committed yachtsmen. Their trust, enthusiasm, and desire to pursue their dreams at sea—despite a challenging climate—have allowed us to achieve something truly outstanding. This year has delivered a 30% increase in yachts sold—a result that stands out even more given the circumstances, and which reflects not only the resilience and determination of our company, but the shared passion and dedication that unite our team and community of yacht enthusiasts. Andrea Lupis and Umberto Ricci are joining Filippo and Gianfranco for 2026 to help to increase our service levels.

To all the new owners who have joined our family this year, we extend our warmest congratulations. May fair winds and smooth seas accompany you aboard your yacht in 2026. As always, we remain fully at your disposal for any suggestion, guidance, maintenance tip, or management advice you may need. Thanks to our network of shipyards, technicians, mechanics, electricians, and surveyors, we are able to support you with reliable expertise whenever required. Whether you are navigating familiar waters or discovering new horizons, our team—and the professionals who collaborate with us—is here to ensure that your yachting is effortless, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable.

This year has also marked another significant step forward with Berthon International. The collaboration between our teams has grown stronger, deeper, and more productive. Our shared commitment to excellence has yielded outstanding results. We look forward to carrying forward this teamwork, shared objective, and success with everyone at Berthon in 2026 and beyond.

We know that in 2026 the wind will, as always, be variable and not always in our favour, yet we also know that together we can navigate any change in direction. Even in shifting conditions, our shared commitment and strong collaboration will continue to guide us toward new achievements, new opportunities, and many more yachts sold side together. With such a solid foundation of partnership and vision, the future is bright—no matter how the wind blows.

To our clients internationally, we wish you a very Happy New Year, full of joy, adventure, and countless memorable moments at sea. May your yachts take you to amazing new ports places and inspire many stories and memories next season.

To our colleagues at Berthon, we send our warmest wishes for a successful, fulfilling, and prosperous 2026. Here’s to another year of collaboration, excellence, and shared accomplishments.

Fair winds to all!
