February 2023 – Awards, Insights and More after boot Düsseldorf

The Berthon Sales Group hit the ground running with a great start to 2023 and a busy boot Düsseldorf at the end of January.

After the show’s 2-year break, we were delighted to be back, representing our amazing brands Solaris and Marex Boats, with Berthon team members from all 5 international offices reuniting for this keynote yachting event. The icing on the cake for us was to celebrate the Marex 330 Scandinavia winning the 2023 Motor Boat of the Year Award. We have a very full boat show calendar in 2023 and these are listed at the end of this bulletin.

As promised, we report back to you with our top 6 yacht sales insights, after boot Düsseldorf, for February 2023. boot Düsseldorf is the barometer for the yacht market and we provide our take on potential key trends for this new year.

We are working hard on the 2023 Berthon Yacht Market Report, reviewing the past year and looking into our crystal ball to predict the next. This year’s Market Report will bring you the usual forecast, news from our Flight Decks and an update on VAT – as well as articles on marine finance and yacht transport. We will also be inviting you to join us inside the marketing arm of the Berthon Sales Group – looking at imagery, video and social media.

Welcome to the jet age on-board Oyster LD43, FLORIDITA. This beautifully presented and highly specified clockwork Oyster runs on twin Yanmar 480hps and HJ292 jets. Her enormous cockpit and accommodating saloon are perfect for entertaining. FLORIDITA has been cherished and professionally maintained through life and is great for family cruising and her drive system gets you close in any anchorage.

Nautor Swan 44, ASTRID is awaiting her new owners to set sail today! A stunning S&S design, she has recently benefitted from a serious refit bringing her into the 21st century. Captivatingly pretty, great sailing, a contemporary classic Swan, equalling ownership that is totally plug and play!
