The Berthon Market Report is an annual publication where the Berthon Sales Group team review the previous year and give their take on the international yachting market. There are articles from all five Berthon offices across two continents, the UK, France, Sweden, Spain and the USA. Our Service and Guardiennage Team in Mallorca, at the heart of the Mediterranean yachting scene, also write.
We also have guest writers who are experts in their field and for the 2023 Report, we have articles covering VAT, yacht shipping, and yacht finance that are informative and current.
No Berthon Market Report would be complete without the Cool Board – our take on developments, new yachts and events that we think are deeply cool.
Since the extraordinary rise in yacht sales from 2020 known by many as the Covid bump, we write about what is happening with interest and sales now, as well as about information delivery in our market and how the yacht sales process has developed and changed. Finally, the Berthon forecast has a stab at predicting what we may see in the market in 2023.
