After a busy summer that included a multitude of sales, and fewer reductions year on year, brokers continue to maintain an optimistic outlook for the remaining quarter of 2013. Speaking recently with Adam Papadakis of Camper Nicholsons, he shared that “the challenging climate is still impacting on the yacht sales of a buyer’s
driven market, abundant with plenty of spectacular yachts. However,
seasonal patterns in sales have smoothed after a vibrant summer build-up of activity.”

Toby Maclaurin of Ocean Independence agrees that “it is still a buyers market out there, however we seem to be running along the bottom end for pricing finally.” And while “the industry still has a long way to go, show season offers the chance to really push the industry to get out there. We
need to remain positive and continue to believe in the experience and
the value it offers.”

The week running 3 – 9 September saw three sales completed, 15 new central agencies announced, 10 price reductions made and two other brokerage announcements made.
