2018 to 2022 Luxury Yacht Market Outlook Compared to 2023 to 2033 Forecast

The word yacht is derived from the Dutch word ‘jacht’ meaning hunt. Luxury yachts are also known as “Floating Palaces or Floating Real Estates". They are the epitome of luxury spending. Luxury yachts are privately owned, professionally crewed and highly expensive motor yachts.

The various stakeholders of the luxury yacht market are yacht manufacturers, brokerage firms and brokers, designers, harbor management services, equipment and accessory sectors, journalists and potential buyers.

The luxury yacht market is both a B2B and B2C market as HNWI (high net worth individuals) and UHNWI (ultra-high net worth individuals) are the direct customers, also there are companies that buy luxury yachts for commercial purposes.

Luxury yacht manufacturing companies are obsessively focused on quality because it is the prime differentiating factor between luxury yachts and non-luxury yachts. These companies manufacture luxury yachts using fast patrol vessels, frigates, and interceptors, which are used by world navies for high security. Growing awareness of environmental protection has led to the manufacture of solar luxury yachts.

Types of Luxury Yachts

Yachts belonging to this category have a length of over 50 meters and are considered to be the largest of their kind. Luxury Megayachts have all the facilities ranging from swimming pools, movie halls, cafeterias, banquet halls to even gyms and suite rooms. They are generally used for leisure and recreation for a large group of people and mostly owned by organizations.

Super Yachts

The average length of a superyacht ranges from 30-50 meters. Due to their smaller size in comparison to a mega yacht, a super yacht has lesser provisions but they are equally luxurious.

By Propulsion:

Luxury Motor Yachts

Motor yachts constitute the widest category of luxury yachts having a motor attached to them. With multi, decks, large interiors and spacious rooms for comfort, these yachts are the perfect choice for a large group of people.

Luxury Sailing Yachts

These kinds of yachts are driven by sail instead of motor. Pleasure boats, also known as yachts, come in various forms and sizes of sails. These vessels can be single sail-single mast), double sail-single mast or multiple sails-multiple masts.

What are the Key Drivers of the Luxury Yacht Market?

  • Growth in Nautical Tourism is fueling the growth of this market

Yachting along coastal locations is slowly becoming popular across various countries. Formulation of favorable policies has been effective in promoting coastal and marine tourism which has consequently led to a boost in yachting tourism as well. Adoption of private boats for leisure, client meetings and large scale parties has become quite prevalent. In order to explore new locations with a smaller crowd, regions such as Asia Pacific, Antarctica and Middle East are being preferred for yachting.

Another reason for growth of luxury yachting tourism has been the availability of renting of charter boats. Rentals for yachts are available on weekly basis which further increases the accessibility of luxury yachting.

  • The number of ultra-wealthy households are projected to increase

In the coming years, the number of ultra-wealthy households having assets worth $100 million or more is projected to increase by 70% in the next five years. Shipyards have therefore started to invest in new facilities and technologies to meet the expected demand which will eventually lead to growth in the market for Luxury Yachts

  • Green Yachting is becoming popular amongst an environmentally conscious generation

The new generation millennials, belonging to 35-45 year age bracket, have become highly environmentally conscious. This is extremely important to factor in since up to 40% of the yacht buyers are now millennials. Therefore, the sector is slowly switching to green yachting by adopting a more eco friendly approach. By 2050, the International Maritime Organization has instructed the maritime industry to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent from 2008 levels by the year 2050 and to reduce carbon footprints of their boats. Electric yachts are also becoming quite popular

What are the Key Factors Affecting Luxury Yacht Market Adversely?

  • Luxury Yacht Market is still Nascent in few regions

Talking about the emerging markets for luxury yachting like India, there is a lack of infrastructure even though there is a proven interest in boating. Owning a yacht in a nascent country can be a long and expensive process due to the heavy import tax. Another factor is the absence of cruising locations which is why people are not able to make the most out of owning a yacht in such markets.

However, with increased government participation to create yacht facilities and to invest in the yachting, the future looks bright and full of potential.

Region Wise Insights

Europe dominates the market for Luxury Yachts followed by the North America region. With vast coastlines and a significant percentage of boating charter taking place in Mediterranean Sea, Europe has become a favorable nautical tourism hotspot. European countries such has Greece and Croatia have been witnessing a surge in tourists wanting to explore water adventures thus driving the growth of Global Luxury Yachts market

Analysis shows that the Asia Pacific region will become the fastest growing market for luxury yachts owing to an increase in number of ultra-wealthy households and fast pace growth of the developing economies.

Category-Wise Insights

Which age group prefers luxury yachts the most.

Millennials are the major drivers of Luxury Yacht demand

Generational trends are a powerful driver. Millennials prefer enjoying the yachting experience a lot differently from the generation X by emphasising more on everything that their self-owned vessels can do instead of being crazy about merely possessing it. They want to create unique experiences for themselves and their family. In the process, millennials have emerged as the major drivers of the Luxury Yacht demand and have slowly redefined the entire yachting industry.

Which Tour Type will have the Maximum Number of Travelers During Forecasted Period?

There will be a surge in the number of independent travellers

Rapid technological advancements in the last few years have made a large number of people quite comfortable with emerging technologies and they are now well equipped to adapt to change. Consequently, this has led to an increase in the number of independent travelers and is forecasted to only increase further.

Which Booking Channel do Tourists in the Market Place Prefer?

Online Booking Channels Lead the Booking Channel Segmentation

It usually takes a lot of time and effort to research and make a decision before purchasing something as luxurious as a yacht. However, the existence of online booking channels has unquestionably both sped up the procedure as well as offered clients access to more choices. People who make their bookings online prefer to compare prices, features, types and various other parameters among all available options to make the best possible choice.

Competitive Landscape

Key Players in the global luxury yacht market are Ferretti Group, Lurssen, Feadship, Princess Yachts, Sunseeker and all these companies dominate the market with a combined market share of about 60%. Additionally, the semi-custom luxury yacht market has seen a surge in demand in recent years which might be due to these categories of yachts offering a good balance of customization and off-the-shelf predictability and simplicity.

Boat Price Trends

  • On August 15, 2023
  • No Comments

Picture of Steve

The boating industry saw unprecedented growth during the COVID-19 pandemic as people sought outdoor recreational activities. This led to surging demand and rising prices for new and used boats from 2020-2022. As we move into 2023, many boat buyers wonder – will boat prices go down in 2023 or continue to rise?

Table of Contents

Factors impacting boat prices, our forecast for 2023-2024, new boat price trends, used boat price trends, the outlook for 2024 and beyond, our final thoughts.

Several key factors will determine when or if the boat market will crash or remain high in 2023 and 2024:

  • Supply Chain Issues  – Shortages of materials like fiberglass along with labor shortages have constrained production. As supply chain problems persist, boat prices will stay elevated.
  • High Inflation  – With inflation at 40-year highs, the rising costs of materials, labor, transport will keep upward pressure on boat prices.
  • Interest Rates  – Higher interest rates make financing more expensive, potentially dampening demand and prices.
  • Consumer Demand  – Demand soared during COVID but may moderate with economic uncertainty. Still, new boat buyers entering the market could sustain demand.
  • Price of Oil  – As a key component in fiberglass, rising oil prices directly impact boat production costs and prices.

Boat Type2022 Price Change2023 Forecast2024 Outlook
New Boats+10%+2-5%Remain elevated
Used Boats+5-10%+5-10%Plateau at high levels

Due to the above factors, most industry experts predict new boat prices will remain high rather than decrease in 2023 and 2024. Some key new boat price trends:

  • New boat prices increased 10% on average in 2022 and are forecast to rise another 2-5% in 2023.
  • Popular brands and models may have waitlists extending into 2024, sustaining high prices.
  • As supply chain issues ease, price growth may moderate but overall remain elevated over pre-pandemic levels.

Used boat prices are also expected to remain relatively high in 2023 and potentially 2024:

  • Limited inventory has driven intense demand in the used boat market since 2020.
  • This shortage of used boat inventory will persist, creating upward price pressure.
  • Well-maintained used boats can sell for 50-80% of their original retail price depending on age.
  • For context, a 5 year old 25-foot center console that originally sold for $100K can fetch $60-80K on the used market.

In 2024 and beyond, broader economic conditions will determine if boat prices moderate. But key factors suggest prices will remain strong:

  • Pent-up demand from the pandemic has introduced many new buyers to boating who will remain in the market.
  • Florida’s continuously growing population increases local demand for boats.
  • Boating interest continues to grow nationally, bringing new entrants.

Barring an economic downturn, which is still in the forecast for many economists, boat prices are likely to plateau at elevated levels rather than return to pre-pandemic pricing. Savvy buyers should watch for potential sales and incentives during boat shows and end-of-season clearances to get the best deals.

But overall, boat prices will remain high compared to historical levels for the remainder of 2023.

Boat Prices in 2023: Analysis of the Market for Buyers and Sellers

Are you considering buying or selling a boat in 2023? This article will explore the market for boats in 2023, the boat prices, trends, factors affecting prices, and the best time to buy or sell a boat. Whether you’re thinking of buying or selling, take the time to understand what’s happening in the marketplace.

Table of Contents

Background to today’s boat market – the covid years.

The boating industry has witnessed significant changes in supply and demand over the past couple of years due to the CoViD pandemic. With the onset of the pandemic, many boat manufacturers faced disruptions in their production and supply chains, resulting in limited availability of new boats. This scarcity drove up prices and created a seller’s market with high demand and a low inventory of new vessels. 

A Need to Spend Leisure Time in a Safer Environment

With travel restrictions and social distancing measures in place, many individuals turned to boating as a way to safely enjoy outdoor activities and leisure time, seeking local and regional boating experiences. 

Smaller, more versatile boats suitable for day trips or weekend getaways became increasingly popular.

The Desire for More Space and a Change of Scene

The pandemic also brought about a desire for more space and a change of scenery, having been cooped up at home for weeks on end. Many people reevaluated their living situations and realised the benefits of living on the water, away from crowded urban areas. Liveaboard vessels provide an opportunity to have a cozy and self-contained living space while enjoying the tranquility of the water. 

A Shift in Remote Working

The shift in people’s ability to work from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic affected the demand for liveaboard vessels. With remote work becoming more prevalent, many individuals have sought alternative lifestyles that offer more flexibility and the ability to work from anywhere, anywhere in the world in fact! This shift in work dynamics sparked increased interest in boats designed for full-time living.

The ability to work remotely opened up opportunities for individuals to live on a boat while maintaining their professional commitments. This led to a surge in demand for liveaboard vessels.

The YouTube Effect

During the pandemic, there was a significant increase in the popularity of YouTube sailing channels. Many turned to online platforms for entertainment and inspiration as people spent more time at home. YouTube sailing channels such as Brian Paulson with SVDelos, featuring individuals or families documenting their liveaboard experiences, gained a substantial following. Viewers were captivated by the unique lifestyle, breathtaking scenery, and sense of freedom.

The impact of binge-watching YouTube sailing channels on the demand for liveaboard boats can be observed in several ways. First, the exposure to these channels sparked growing interest and curiosity among viewers about the possibility of living on a boat and embarking on their own sailing adventures. The videos provided inspiration and education to those who might not otherwise have considered it, providing insights into the liveaboard lifestyle, sailing techniques, and the joys of exploring different coastal areas.

The popularity of YouTube sailing channels also created a sense of community and connection among viewers. Comment sections and social media platforms associated with these channels became spaces for like-minded individuals to share their aspirations, seek advice, and engage in discussions. This sense of community further fueled the interest in liveaboard boats, as people found support and encouragement from others who shared their passion for the liveaboard lifestyle.

As a result, the increased viewership of YouTube sailing channels contributed to a surge in demand for liveaboard boats. Many individuals who were drawn to the idea of living on the water and experiencing the freedom of sailing were motivated to pursue their dreams. They saw the potential for a fulfilling and adventurous lifestyle showcased in these videos, leading to an increased desire to own their liveaboard vessel and embark on their own sailing journeys.

These effects can be seen clearly in the trend for searching “Boat for Sale” on Google over the past few years:

The CoViD Effect on Used Boat Prices

This surge in demand for both small day boats and larger liveaboard vessels, and the constricted production of new boats, led to a shortage in the pre-owned market, and as a result, prices for used boats escalated. If you were a boat seller, this presented a favourable environment to achieve a higher price for your vessel. However, as a buyer, you needed to be patient and willing to invest time to find the right used boat at a reasonable price, as the selection was limited and competition among buyers fierce.

Factors Affecting the Market in 2023

Ongoing impact of the pandemic on new and used boat supply and demand.

We continue to see the impact of CoViD going into 2023; the pandemic motivated many people to change their lifestyle, and while some were able to make a quick and radical change due to their financial or personal circumstances, for others, it became part of a five or ten-year plan.  Some of those that made the change to a liveaboard lifestyle in 2020 are coming to the end of their liveaboard goals, returning to a less nomadic lifestyle and putting their kids back into the school system.

And with people back to a more normal working routine and less time to spend outdoors, pandemic purchases spend more time in the boatshed or on the dock.  This results in an increase in new listings to the boat market in 2023 .

The state of catch-up experienced in many boat building yards in 2021-2 as they ramped up again post CoViD to fulfill orders for new boats placed before the lockdowns have eased, and manufacturing schedules are normalising. 

The Supply vs. Demand Gap

The supply versus demand gap in the boat market depends on various factors, including the type of boat, geographical location, and prevailing market conditions. It’s important to note that the boat market’s supply and demand dynamics fluctuate and differ between new and used boats.

Although the demand-supply gap for new and used boats is felt to have been at its greatest in mid-2021, the volume of boat registrations in the USA remains strong compared with pre-pandemic levels.  

With many primary boat shows reprising their activity for the first time in three years in 2023, boat builders have reported high order levels for new boats placed at Boat Shows in Europe and the USA in 2023 so far, and the Global Order Book for superyacht builds is at a higher level than any pre-CoViD year .

Brokers for second-hand vessels, however, are reporting that sales in the first quarter of 2023 are significantly down compared with the same period in 2022 .  Inventory levels are twice as high as the previous year, boats are staying on the market longer, and more price reductions are being made to make the sale.

Innovations in Design and Technology

In recent years, there have been notable design and energy innovation trends in new boats as the industry strives to incorporate more sustainable and efficient technologies. These trends are driven by a combination of environmental concerns, evolving consumer preferences, and advancements in technology. Key areas of focus include:

  • Sustainable Materials

Boat manufacturers are increasingly exploring the use of sustainable materials in boat construction. This includes incorporating recycled and eco-friendly materials, such as recycled plastics, reclaimed wood, and bio-based composites. The goal is to reduce the environmental impact of boat production and improve the overall sustainability of vessels.

  • Electric and Hybrid Propulsion

Energy innovation in the boating industry has seen a rise in electric and hybrid propulsion systems. Electric boats powered by lithium batteries have gained popularity due to their zero-emission operation, quietness, and ease of maintenance. Hybrid systems combine electric motors with traditional combustion engines to recharge the batteries, offering increased efficiency and reduced fuel consumption.

  • Efficient Hull Designs

Boat designers continue to focus on creating hull designs that optimise fuel efficiency and performance. This involves features such as hydrodynamic shapes, improved weight distribution, and reduced drag. By minimising resistance in the water, boats can achieve higher speeds and lower fuel consumption.

  • Solar Power Integration

Solar panels are being integrated into boat designs to harness renewable energy and reduce reliance on conventional power sources. Solar panels can help power onboard systems, such as lighting, electronics, and battery charging, thereby extending battery life and reducing the need for fuel or shore power.

  • Smart and Connected Features

New boats increasingly incorporate features that enhance the boating experience using data and connectivity. This includes advanced navigation systems, digital displays, remote monitoring capabilities, and connectivity options for seamless integration with mobile devices. 

These innovations offer boat owners a range of benefits , including:

  • Near silent cruising
  • The ability to live on board for more extended periods “off-grid”
  • Reduced operating costs
  • Zero emissions at low boat speeds
  • Responsible boating in sensitive areas

It’s interesting to see that many of the CoViD liveaboards were quick to install large lithium-ion battery banks and solar charging as soon as possible on their new vessels, ripping out propane gas systems and installing induction cooktops and household refrigerators.  Boats coming to the second-hand market without these home-from-home features are disadvantaged.

Consumer Confidence, Inflation, and Affordable Boating

Despite the slowdown in boat sales, industry analysts continue to mark the rise in participants in the boating industry , indicating that interest in water-based leisure time activities remains high.  However, with higher interest rates from the post-pandemic economic downturn, consumers find it tougher to agree on financing deals on new and used boats . They are turning instead to boat rental and other options.

Social media platforms have facilitated the rise of peer-to-peer sharing networks specific to boating. Platforms such as Boatsetter and GetMyBoat allow boat owners to rent their vessels to individuals looking for a boating experience. 

Boat clubs and groups on platforms like Facebook and Instagram have provided a platform for individuals to organize shared outings, where the costs are divided among participants. Websites such as Crewseekers facilitate matching between boat owners and prospective crew.

These sharing economy models enable boating enthusiasts to access boats without the need for ownership, reducing the costs associated with purchasing and maintaining a boat.  As these peer-to-peer platforms gain popularity , the demand for buying a new or second-hand vessel decreases.

Oil Price Fluctuations

Oil is a crucial component in the production of boats, particularly in manufacturing fiberglass hulls, resins, and other petroleum-based materials. Fluctuations in oil prices impact the cost of raw materials, transportation, and energy used in the manufacturing process. When oil prices rise, the manufacturing costs for boats increase, which is reflected in higher prices for new boats.

Oil prices directly affect the cost of fuel, which is a significant operational expense for boat owners. Higher fuel costs influence the affordability and operating costs of boats, which may indirectly impact boat demand as owners consider the long-term expenses associated with boat ownership.

Disruptions to the Supply Chain

High fuel prices and global container transportation issues linked to the war in Ukraine continue to influence the market and such disruptions can have a significant impact on boat prices. When disruptions occur, such as delays or shortages in raw materials and components, it leads to increased production costs and limited availability. Manufacturers may pass on these increased costs to consumers, resulting in higher boat prices. Additionally, delays in delivery and market uncertainty can further affect pricing dynamics. Buyers may become more cautious, reducing demand and potentially putting downward pressure on prices.

Rising Personnel Costs

It seems like the number of vacancies in the boating industry increases every week, and a walk along the boulevards of Fort Lauderdale reveals a sea of announcements staked along the sidewalks.  A deficit of trained and experienced workers continues to drive up marine industry personnel costs, which are passed down to both new and used boat prices.

New Boat Prices in 2023

Faced with continuing recruitment issues, high fuel and materials prices, and ongoing disruptions in the supply chain stemming from the pandemic and the subsequent war in Ukraine, boat manufacturers remain at lower capacity than pre-CoViD times.  Demand is high, in comparison, as customers have waited to place orders due to the uncertainties of CoViD, and the waiting lists for new build vessels can be as much as three years.

Buyers should expect the prices for a new boat to remain as they are for now.  Keen parties should put their name down with their local brand dealer to hear of boats that leave the production line where the buyer has dropped out.

Used Boat Prices in 2023

The bubble for used boat prices seen in 2020-21 has well and truly burst!  Brokers and dealers indicate a significant increase in inventory, a longer time to sell, and the need for more and greater discounting to achieve a sale.

With the end of CoViD restrictions and a return to a more normal way of living, there is less incentive to make drastic lifestyle changes.  Pandemic purchases come back on the market as people return to their pre-CoViD habits.  Consumer confidence remains uncertain as oil prices and interest rates have climbed, and the upturn in more affordable boating options will ultimately impact the demand for boat ownership.

Used boat sellers in 2023 should be aware of the increasingly competitive market and the increased interest in eco-friendly design features and energy efficiency; be prepared to lower your price expectations; things are quite different from where they were in 2021 or even 2022! 

Buyers should be patient and take time to explore options as prices for used boats continue to become more negotiable and the choice of vessels much more extensive than in recent years.

Where to Find Boat Prices Online

There are several online platforms where you can check boat prices specific to the model you’re interested in. Here are a few popular websites that provide resources for checking boat prices:

Boat Trader is a comprehensive online marketplace for buying and selling boats. It offers a wide range of listings and allows you to filter by boat type, location, price range, and other criteria to find boats that match your preferences. Boat Trader provides pricing information for both new and used boats, allowing you to compare prices and explore different options.

YachtWorld is a leading platform for new and used boat sales, specializing in larger vessels and luxury yachts. It offers a vast selection of listings from brokers and dealers worldwide. YachtWorld provides detailed information about each boat, including specifications, pricing, and contact details for sellers or brokers.

NADAguides (JD Power) is a trusted online resource for pricing information across various industries, including boats. It offers comprehensive boat pricing data based on year, make, model, condition, and optional features. NADAguides provides both retail and wholesale pricing, allowing you to get a sense of the market value for different boats.

BUCValu is a widely used platform for appraisals and pricing information for boats. It offers a comprehensive database of boat values based on different factors such as year, make, model, and condition. BUCValu provides detailed reports with estimated values, market trends, and historical data to help you assess boat prices accurately.

Remember that while these websites can provide valuable insights into boat prices, prices can vary depending on various factors such as location, condition, equipment, and the market demand explored here. 

Best Time to Buy and Sell a Boat in 2023

Ideal selling period (february to june).

If you want to sell your boat , February and June are generally considered the best time. Many potential buyers are looking for boats to enjoy the upcoming boating season. The warmer weather and longer days create a sense of excitement and anticipation, leading to increased demand. By listing your boat for sale during this period, you can attract more potential buyers and fetch a higher price.

Favourable buying period (September to October)

On the other hand, if you are in the market to buy a boat , September to October is a favorable time. As the boating season comes to an end, sellers may be more motivated to close deals before winter arrives. This can create opportunities for buyers to negotiate better prices or find boats that have been on the market for a while. Additionally, boat dealerships and manufacturers often offer end-of-season discounts and promotions, making it an ideal time to purchase.

In 2023, new boat prices are unlikely to decrease significantly due to the ongoing market dynamics. However, you can expect those for used boats to drop.  Staying informed about the boat market, factors influencing prices, and the ideal buying and selling periods allows you to make confident decisions that align with your budget and preferences. To explore the current boat prices and listings, visit our website and embark on your boating journey today.

Is 2023 a good year to buy a boat?

If you are considering buying a boat, 2023 is a year worth considering. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the boat market has shown resilience and continues to thrive. The demand for boats remains high, and while prices may be lower than in previous years, there are still opportunities to find a boat that suits your needs and budget. It’s essential to carefully research and compare prices and consider factors such as boat condition, model, and features.

Are new boats more expensive than used boats?

In general, new boats tend to be more expensive than used boats. This is because new boats come with the latest technologies, features, and warranties, contributing to higher price tags. Additionally, the demand for new boats often exceeds the supply, which can drive up their prices. On the other hand, used boats offer a more cost-effective option for buyers. They have already experienced some depreciation, making them more affordable. However, when purchasing a used boat, it’s important to consider factors such as the boat’s condition, maintenance history, and any necessary repairs or upgrades.

Superyacht marketing and 2023 yacht industry trends

Home > LUXURY/UHNW Trends > Superyacht marketing and 2023 yacht industry trends

Posted by Gemma Harris 19 Dec 2022

As the year ends, we can reflect on the industry’s success but, most importantly, begin to prepare for 2023. 

This year has seen the continuing success of key superyacht industry players, with global yacht shows back in full swing and charter bookings increasing. 

Following the latest superyacht marketing trends can help brands engage with their audience, reach new clients, establish authority, increase leads and boost visibility in a competitive landscape . As trends evolve and change, new opportunities are presented. To take full advantage of these changes, key players must alter their marketing approach and refine their strategies to reflect the upcoming 2023 yacht industry trends . 

The main changes we have seen across marketing this year have been through the advances in technology, but what other marketing changes will we see in 2023?

Here are some of the top tips and trends for superyacht marketing in 2023: 

2023 yacht industry trends 

1- be even more social.

Over the past few years, there have been many changes in how social media is used and how the platforms operate, with constantly changing algorithms. 

Next year sees the continuation of social media’s importance and embracing it within a brand’s marketing strategy. The latter end of 2022 has already seen the rise of genuinfluencers and nano-influencer marketing, whereby the influencers embody the brand’s voice, tone, and values. This also enables the brand to increase its authenticity. 

Another superyacht marketing trend within social media will be the increase in live-streaming, video-based, and behind-the-scenes content; clients want to see the genuine brand, and the ‘reality’ vs ‘Instagram’ mindset is becoming increasingly popular. This type of content is ideal for yachting brands to showcase products, lifestyles, and the unique ways in which yachting brands operate. Social media within yachting will also become more of a platform for having two-way conversations with clients.

Brands might not always need to spend money to make a real impact on their KPIs. In 2023, we can expect to see a significant rise in user-generated content in marketing, helping brands foster an enhanced emotional connection with their audience. User-generated content saves valuable time and resources and celebrates a brand’s most loyal customers while helping prospective buyers make informed purchasing decisions. 

2 – Capitalise on hyper-personalisation 

The onset of hyper-personalisation is due to the increasing digitalisation of the industry, whereby more and more is data-driven and AI-based. 

Real-time data helps brands identify aspects that resonate with clients and identify what will solve their problems. The improvements in AI technology with increased data collection and insights from social media have made it easier for personalisation, and it will begin to take over analytics and content creation, allowing brands to form a more solid connection. 

This hyper-personalised, tailored marketing experience speaks directly to the client’s needs focusing on their entire journey, making this an exciting 2023 yacht industry trend to embrace. 

3 – Prioritise inclusivity 

Diversity and inclusivity have become increasingly crucial for the superyacht industry within the last few years. While diversity is about the representation of a workforce in terms of characteristics such as age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc., inclusivity is about how people feel, referring to behaviours and social norms. Improving diversity and inclusion of different ideas, cultures, and lifestyles will enhance the industry’s culture, which is a priority to help foster a more sustainable industry for the future. 

While the industry has made some strides towards diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, there is a long way to go, and this needs to be improved within 2023. 

Next year we hope to see this, ensuring brands prioritise inclusivity throughout their strategies. One element of this is the younger generation entering the industry choosing brands that show their diversity. Brands need to be aware of using pronouns and creating truly inclusive content. 

4 – Support global issues 

Sustainability within the yachting industry has begun to gain momentum, and the conversations around specific issues have become louder, and this is expected to become a key 2023 yacht industry trend .  

In 2023, brands need to follow an ESG model to improve their operations. Much of this demand is from the younger generation entering the industry wanting to create change and support global issues. 

Clients prioritise brands that practice social and environmental responsibility; therefore, brands must utilise their marketing strategies to highlight their efforts to make positive change. 

5 – Step into the metaverse 

This year has seen a lot of debate surrounding the metaverse and its capabilities; 2023 will be vital for defining where it will go. To get ahead of the competition in 2023, brands must capitalise on the new frontier of Web 3.0 and the metaverse. 

Today there is an increasing need for brands to implement hybrid and mixed-reality experiences into their global superyacht marketing through the metaverse . Virtual Reality (VR) enhances a brand’s method of promoting its products or services; designing immersive experiences is vital for 2023 as more innovation in this sphere is evolving. 

While not everyone agrees on the direction of the metaverse, what is evident is the need to build immersive experiences through varying technology. This experiential marketing is vital to leave clients returning and wanting more through brands giving seamless experiences. 

6 – Focus on the right audience

Brands must focus on the decision-makers and new clients of tomorrow in 2023, hence focussing on Gen Z. If brands continue to focus on just Millennials, they will get left behind, and they must re-focus their yacht marketing strategies to target the new audiences. 

The yachting industry is also growing within emerging markets, and marketing efforts should be expanded beyond the traditional hubs of the US and Europe. Marketing strategies that factor in different cultures, languages and online behaviours can create a challenge, but Relevance Yacht can help you create a cohesive approach to target the correct markets. 

7 – Be a storyteller 

Today the best brands have a powerful why and a story to tell, and we expect this to be elevated even further when looking ahead at the top 2023 yacht industry trends . Gone are the days of impersonal strategies that don’t connect with audiences. 

Marketers must integrate branding and storytelling to formulate emotional connections and humanise the brand. This is especially true within such a unique industry. Yachting brands must inspire audiences and connect with them on a deeper level.

New NMMA Recreational Boating Industry Monthly Data Report Launches Today, Provides Exclusive Insights on Industry-Wide Sales and Economic Trends

yacht sales trends 2023

NMMA announced today the launch of its new Recreational Boating Industry Monthly Data Report  , including performance indicators on wholesale and retail sales of new powerboats and outboard engines, economic metrics, and interactive graphs illustrating historical trends. The reports from January to September 2024 are now available for download and will be released the first week of each month. 

Cooling trend persists in Austin-area housing market

Portrait of Shonda Novak

It has been a familiar refrain in the Central Texas housing market since mid-2022: there's good news for buyers who can afford to purchase a home.

However, the news may not be as great for sellers, some of whom are having to reduce prices as the market continues to cool, housing supply rises and prices ease in the fluctuating interest-rate environment.

That's the takeaway from the Austin Board of Realtors' latest monthly report for August and echoed by local industry experts and real estate agents.

In August, the number of homes for sale in the Austin-Round Rock region jumped by 15.4% compared to a year-ago August. The five-county region extends from Georgetown to San Marcos.

Across the area, 2,591 homes changed hands in August, 10.4% fewer than in August 2023, the board said.

Half of the houses that closed last month sold for more than $439,990, and half went for less, marking a 4.4% decrease in the median sales price, the board said.

Noa Levy, a real estate broker associate in Austin, said in her newsletter to clients this month that higher interest rates "have reduced purchasing power, particularly for first-time buyers, shrinking the pool of eligible buyers and slowing down sales."

"While Austin remains a highly desirable destination for buyers, sales have slowed, price reductions are more frequent, and homes are staying on the market longer. This year we've entered more of a buyer’s market, with lower offers being presented (and accepted!)," Levy wrote.

Although the latest market figures indicate more opportunity for buyers, home prices need to decrease further to significantly impact sales growth across the region, said Clare Knapp, housing economist for the Austin Board of Realtors.

“Buyers currently have more leverage in this market than previous years and it’s important for sellers to price their homes attainably to reflect current market conditions and attract more buyers,” Knapp said in a news release.

Mortgage rates fell last Thursday to their lowest level since April 2023 — 6.2% for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, down from 6.35% the week before, according to Freddie Mac. By comparison, the high was 7.8% last October.

Knapp said even if rates drop to 6%, "it would only provide a modest 2% boost in buyer purchasing power. In today’s market, a moderation of home prices — rather than interest rates — is what will drive sales.”  

The sluggish August numbers were no surprise, said Eric Bramlett, a real estate broker who owns Bramlett Residential.

"The Fed's decision to delay rate drops has caused Austin's market to perform 'marginally worse' this year than last," Bramlett said.

"High mortgage rates, a poor job market and election anxiety are depressing the market," Bramlett said. "The good news is that the election will certainly end soon and mortgage rates are heading in the right direction, which should cause the market to begin improving soon. The remaining question is, "When will tech start hiring again?"

Rate cut outlook

If the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates Wednesday, as expected, the move will likely lead to a series of rate reductions continuing into 2025.

"The Fed lowering rates will have a steady trickle effect on all consumer lending rates, including mortgage loan rates," said David Medrano, senior loan officer and mortgage sales manager with First United Bank in Austin. "However, it's important to note that the anticipation of the Fed's initial rate cut may very well be baked into these rates that we've already seen improving over the last few weeks. This is just the beginning of rates coming down for us all."

The recent lowering of interest rates has led to an uptick in sales at some new residential developments, such as the 7-story Leland condo project planned by Intracorp at South Congress Avenue and Live Oak St.

The 265-unit project, named Leland South Congress, "has outperformed the market in terms of recent sales activity, including over 10 new sales in the last two weeks," said Brad Stein, Intracorp's president. These recent contracts have brought sales to more than 25% of the building before it has even broken ground, which is anticipated later this year.

Additionally, the moves by the Fed towards a soft landing for the economy "is expected to boost hiring in 2025, particularly in sectors like tech and construction, which are vital to Austin’s economy," Bramlett said in his newsletter.

More negotiating power for buyers

In her newsletter, Levy said that buyers are taking "a wait-and-see approach, cautious about overpaying in a market that could continue to correct."

"For the first time in years, buyers in Austin are regaining some leverage," Levy wrote. "With homes sitting longer and sellers reducing prices, buyers have the opportunity to negotiate better deals, especially in suburban and new construction markets. Cash buyers, in particular, are well-positioned to take advantage of the market conditions, as they can bypass high mortgage rates."

Bramlett agreed, saying that for buyers who "can handle today’s mortgage rates, which continue to affect affordability and overall buyer interest, you’re likely to have more negotiating power. Rates may decrease later this year, so it could be a good time to start looking while inventory remains high."

Factors Affecting Cost

Buying a yacht in Russia is a rather time-consuming and lengthy process that requires the participation of professional yacht brokers. Depending on the condition of the vessel, the year of manufacture, the quality of its equipment, class and size, the acquisition cost can vary greatly. There are several indicators on which the cost of buying a yacht will depend :

  • Manufacturer, or shipyard - the most famous manufacturers with expensive products are concentrated mainly in European countries, and the most budget yachts are assembled in shipyards of the countries of Asia and the Middle East;
  • Equipment - sometimes the internal filling is made to order, and in some cases it is standard equipment with less power, comfort, speed, etc. In this regard, the cost of ships even from one manufacturer can vary greatly;
  • Ship design;
  • The age of the yacht.

Also, sailing yachts for sale in Russia cost the buyer less than similar motor lengths, but yachts with a history do not always cost less than recently launched ones. Often, the previous owners are engaged in the modernization of the vessel, installing expensive additional equipment on it or customizing the yacht - in this case, the price for it increases significantly. And sailing yachts often participate in regattas, where they can take prizes and eventually acquire a name - this also leads to a rise in the cost of the vessel.

Note that the cost of a yacht in Russia will be significantly different depending on the length of the vessel. You can always check the final cost of the vessel with a yacht broker, and since this market is very lively, the price can change even during the time during which you pick up a yacht.

You can find out the price of the selected vessel and its technical parameters in our catalog, and you can leave a request for purchase directly on the website, online.

We wish you success in conducting transactions on the yacht market!
