October 2022 – We say goodbye to the Autumn boat show season

^ The team from Berthon USA is pictured above.

Team Berthon have been super busy over the Autumn boat show season. We have been at the Newport Boat Show, Cannes Yachting Festival, the Southampton Boat Show, and Berthon USA have just wrapped up with the Annapolis Boat Show on the USA east coast. It was great to welcome our clients aboard hulls from Marex Boats, Solaris Yachts and Moody Yachts – as well as seeing many new faces and to explore these great brands with them all.

Berthon International’s Hugh Rayner has been to visit the Penn-Jersey Commuter Motor Yacht, SIENA – which is an exceptional yacht with an exceptional history. Currently available for sale with us, this 1932 classic beauty is in concours condition, having undergone a professional refit in 2021. She has a fascinating history with everything from gun running and arrest – to service under the Royal Navy. It really is a jolly good read!

FPB 78#2, GREY WOLF II is for sale and is the last word in 4-wheel drive explorer motor yachts. She has steamed through the Pacific, cruised in Chile, the Antarctic, and many points between. GREY WOLF II has been maintained to MCA Category 0, has an epic oak interior and great accommodation for six guests plus four crew. Experience bluewater cruising without limitations.

We bring you our top 7 yacht sales insights for October 2022 – which is all about how the market is faring, following a mini-budget in the UK that shook things up somewhat. Berthon’s MD, Sue Grant has taken stock and soundings and explains the effects of a weak sterling currency on the yacht market.

In Supermarine Spearfish 32, the best powerboat I’ve ever driven… Berthon International’s Hugh Rayner headed off to Itchenor to check out this uber cool powerboat and was blown away by her performance and handling. This 2021-build ex-demonstration Spearfish 32 is crammed with smart solutions and ingenious engineering. She is seriously for sale and in turn-key condition.
