On board the brand-new 50m Admiral Panorama 🛥️

After more than 3 years of following the project from concept to reality,

Panorama is redefining the 50-metre segment with a unique layout usually found on much larger yachts. 🔥

🔹 Private Owner’s Deck
🔹 4 guest cabins on the Main Deck, bringing the total to 7 guest cabins

⚓ June Brokerage Report: The Superyacht Market Surpassed €1 Billion

June became one of the strongest months we’ve seen in the brokerage market.

📈 Key numbers:
• €1.033B in total sales
• 47 yachts sold
• 32 new listings worth €555.1M
• 46 price reductions totaling €31.5M

🔥 Notable deals:
• 100m Moonrise — €325M
• 60m Scott Free — €39.5M
• 55m Silver Star I — €29.99M
• 58.2m Odyssey — €29.5M

💡 My take

While the number of completed sales was slightly lower than last year, the total market value more than doubled thanks to several landmark transactions.

We’re also seeing more quality yachts entering the market and more sellers adjusting prices — creating stronger opportunities for well-informed buyers.

If you’re considering buying or selling a yacht, understanding these trends is more important than ever. ⚓

🌴 One of the most underrated yachting destinations? French Polynesia.

I spent the last few weeks exploring the islands of Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, Raiatea, Taha’a and Huahine… Every island has its own personality!
and now I understand why experienced yacht owners fall in love with this part of the world.

✨ Winter here means perfect yachting weather:
🌊 26–30°C with a gentle tropical breeze
🐠 Crystal-clear lagoons, coral reefs and incredible marine life
🤿 World-class diving, kiteboarding, windsurfing and fishing
🦪 Black pearls, volcanic landscapes and some of the most beautiful shades of blue I’ve ever seen.

A destination I’d happily recommend to anyone looking for something truly special 🌺🛥️
