October 2025 – Closing the 2025 Mediterranean Season

Data and insights in this article are sourced from the Monaco Yacht Show Market Report 2025 by SuperYacht Times (data as of mid-2025).

A Look Back at the 2025 Mediterranean Season

As the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show concludes, the Mediterranean yachting season is gradually winding down. Many larger yachts are now heading toward warmer waters, while those remaining in the region will use the winter months for refits, maintenance, and preparations for the 2026 season.

This year once again highlights the resilience and dynamism of the global superyacht market — spanning new builds, brokerage sales, and refit activity. Market trends indicate that while smaller yachts are facing slower sales, larger vessels continue to attract steady demand from buyers worldwide.

📊 Market Insights – Superyacht Trends 2025

New Builds

• Sales of 30m+ yachts declined by around 10% year-on-year, mainly affecting the 30–45m segment.

• 50m+ yacht sales remain stable, with modest growth observed in the 60–80m category.

• More than 200 new deliveries are expected in 2025, potentially surpassing 2024's 228 completions.

Used Market

• Approximately 200 used superyachts sold by July 2025 — on par with 2024.

• Total gross tonnage increased by 8%, reflecting stronger activity among larger vessels.

• The 30–45m range remains the most competitive segment in brokerage listings.

• Florida continues to lead global sales, followed by Italy, France, Greece, Turkey, and Spain.

Refit & Maintenance

• Over 2,200 yard visits were recorded in 2024 for yachts over 30 metres.

• Leading regions include the United States (30–40m), Spain (60m+), and Italy (with the world's largest refit network of 40+ facilities).

• Other active refit hubs: Turkey, Netherlands, France, UK, and Australasia.

• Demand remains strong for refits of 60m+ yachts, with new facilities emerging in Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Gulf.

Charter & Ownership

• The global charter fleet now exceeds 3,830 yachts, with robust demand for 50m+ vessels.

• Mid-size yachts (30–45m) face growing competition, especially in Mediterranean destinations.

• Ownership remains concentrated among North American (25.1% of 40m+ fleet), European, and Middle Eastern clients.

🌍 Overall Market Outlook

The year 2025 represents a period of adjustment rather than contraction.

While smaller new-build sales have softened, activity in larger yachts and brokerage remains strong.

Continued investment in refit infrastructure, expansion of charter operations, and a growing focus on innovation, sustainability, and experiential ownership are expected to drive momentum heading into 2026.
