June 2022 – Boat Shows, Regattas and Yacht Sales Galore

Summer has arrived and our 5 Berthon Sales Group offices, across Europe and the East Coast USA, are basking in sunshine. The whole team are super busy with boat shows, regattas and yacht sales.

A few words about yacht for sale Hallberg-Rassy 62 CONTRARIAN – This go anywhere bluewater yacht, from 2004, is the perfect platform for planet circuits. She comes with a recent price tumble. Much uprated in her current ownership, new electronic wizardry – as well as an automated rig, recent sails, hardtop and a 3.6m BRIG on electric davits. Below decks, CONTRARIAN is a real tardis, as you will see from her new walkthrough video.

Berthon International have Solaris 57, LETI captured on film. From the board of Doug Peterson, she is a true classic from 1991. A total nut and bolt refit plus interior remodelling between 2010 and 2012 means this Solaris 57 has modern kit including a carbon rig and is a great fast cruising yacht. LETI is ideal for the Mediterranean or long distance cruising and is ready for new owners.

The all new Pearl Yachts Office at Swanwick Marina is now open! AND Pearl Yachts & Berthon International were at the British Motor Yacht Show, 15th-19th June 2022. Berthon’s Robert Steadman has had a tremendous show in Swanwick with the Pearl 62. We are currently able to offer delivery of a new Pearl 62 in 2023 – and do ask us about the other Pearl models too. During the British Motor Yacht Show, Berthon and Pearl celebrated the opening of our Pearl Yachts sales office in Swanwick Marina’s new sales Pavillion, ‘The Saltings’. We look forward to welcoming you to this new office which is an outstanding location, set to become the epicentre of the UK’s high-end motor yacht sales.

For those wishing to learn more about bluewater cruising, June 2022 saw Berthon International and the World Cruising Club join forces once again for our Cockpit Conversations. A unique online event designed to inspire and kick start your bluewater cruising ambitions. The virtual Club Nights discussed buying and choosing the right boat, bluewater cruising refits and amazing cruising destinations. If you couldn’t make it this year, we have saved the playlist for you:- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLY9iMxMOj4rj0Q5IfNFsassup9i9aRlK7. Here you will find podcasts from our 2022 Market Report, a series of  ‘Nice to Meet You’ videos where we chat to owners of bluewater sailing yachts, top tips from Senior Yacht Broker Alan McIlroy on the multihull market and a tour of our Berthon facilities UK with Alan and his side kick Murphy.

Berthon International’s Alan McIlroy has been super busy! He recently attended the 2022 Solaris Days and Solaris Cup event at Porto Rotondo, Sardinia. This fabulous, yearly sailing festival brought together 70 owners from 15 different countries to enjoy friendly competition in the Solaris Cup Regattas and excellent Solaris hospitality in the evening. Many clients both old and new attended the ever popular sea trial and training days, and we are looking forward to seeing the fleet of Solaris yachts continue to grow. Berthon sells Solaris in the UK, Sweden, Finland and on the East Coast of the USA.
