Key Market Trends
Increment in Fleet Size is Driving the Market
Various yacht charter companies are adding new yachts for staying ahead of their competitors as various charter companies have contracts with the yacht manufacturer that the new yacht being launched will be first provided to them for chartering. For instance:
In March 2021, Imperial Yachts has announced the signing of a new 100-meter project, Project Titanium in collaboration with The Italian Sea Group, the parent company of Admiral Yachts. Project Titanium is scheduled to be delivered in 2025.
Similarly, in July 2020, MarineMax further expanded its worldwide yacht services with the acquisition of Northrop & Johnson that will provide end-to-end global boating solutions for MarineMax.
Along with the addition of new yachts in the fleet charter companies have invested huge amounts for upgrading their fleet. For instance:
In May 2021, Northrop & Johnson announced closing deals including the 120-foot (37m) Benetti motor yacht TANUSHA, two Pershing yachts LOUNOR and AMJU, the 130-foot (39.7m) classic superyacht ARIONAS from Lurssen.
North America and Europe Are Expected to Lead the Market
Most consumers in North America are preferring to visit chartered destinations to avail large discounts. Especially in the United States, consumers are inclined towards comfort over performance.
Northern American yachting season is from May to October, whereas in South America it runs from January to September. Florida has one of the largest gatherings of private superyachts. It has two coastal borders one in the Atlantic and the other in the Gulf of Mexico and it holds around 30,000 lakes.
Similarly, Europe preferred as one of the top destination for marine culture, particularly northern Europe has a very rich culture of yacht charters, countries such as England, Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, and Russia, have the presence of a variety of options to choose from crewed yachts, luxury yachts, and motor yachts. Many superyachts are also available for charter along with explorer/expedition yachts. The summer season mainly from May to about September is the best time to charter a yacht in Europe.
Many countries are reforming their rules and tax regulation which is affecting the yacht charter market. For instance, in January 2020, the French Tax Authorities released an official tax bulletin with some new rules which will be affecting charter contracts signed after March 30th, 2020. The VAT will be charged at a 20% rate when the yacht is sailing in EU water bodies, and there will be no VAT while sailing in international waters. As long as any boat is in EU waters it is fully subjected to VAT.
As developments in the current situation are quite fluid and constant, one would expect that certain measures are put in place, including legislation and governmental directives, which would give some certainty to the industry.
