219: BOAT Briefing: how successful is the 2024 Med charter season?

In this week's episode of BOAT Briefing, travel and charter editor Georgia takes a deep dive into the state of the charter market, while the team also bring you news of Royal Huisman's takeover and the latest financial results from MarineMax. In our brokerage focus, we discuss the merits of buying 68 metre Loon versus 45.7 metre Ancallia, and we also discover which superyachts have travelled the most so far in 2024. In the news is the sale of a pickleball-court-packing Flexplorer from CdM and the grounding of the 37.8 metre Sanlorenzo Lovebug.   LINKS: MarineMax results: https://www.boatinternational.com/boat-pro/news/marinemax-financial-results-q3-2024 Royal Huisman sale: https://www.boatinternational.com/boat-pro/news/royal-huisman-yacht-acquisition-o2-capital-partners Loon for sale: https://www.boatinternational.com/yacht-market-intelligence/brokerage-sales-news/icon-yachts-motor-yacht-loon-for-sale Ancallia for sale: https://www.boatinternational.com/yacht-market-intelligence/brokerage-sales-news/feadship-motor-yacht-ancallia-for-sale Flexplorer sale: https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/flexplorer-165-yacht-sold-us-client Lovebug grounding: https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/no-fuel-pollution-lovebug-yacht-capsizes-sinks-chesapeake-bay-maryland-usa Sakura delivery: https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/feadship-project-yacht-sakura-712-delivery Most travelled yachts: https://www.boatinternational.com/boat-pro/news/most-travelled-yachts-2024-h1 BOAT Pro: https://www.boatinternational.com/boat-pro Subscribe: https://www.boatinternational.com/subscriptions Contact us: [email protected]
