After only being placed on the market mid-May, St Vitamin closed earlier this week with broker Vladimir Tupikov, of the Moscow branch of Moran Yacht Ship, saying, “she was an in-house deal with a mere 45 days on the market before her new owner made the offer”. With sales consistently coming through during the summer months, Tupikov believes “the future is unfolding positively and I think we will continue to see strong growth in the megayacht sector”.
Whilst he’s careful to add that the market is of course sensitive to the performance of the wider global economy, there have been a number of positive movements recently, including a stronger US stock market, leading to greater consumer confidence. As such, he states “the summer has been very busy both in terms of sales and charter, and I think the upcoming season will see a number of yachts coming on to the market and up for grabs”.
The week running 22 – 28 July saw five sales completed, six new central agencies announced, and five price reductions made.

The largest sale this week was through Richard Earp of Fraser Yachts with 1968 Scheepswert built 59m Capella C, priced at $4,990,000 with YDL bringing the buyer in the transaction.
