Interiors of 88m in-build Admiral superyacht Project Spyder unveiled

The global yacht market faced notable challenges in 2024, with fewer than 650 transactions completed in the first ten months, marking a contraction in both brokerage and new yacht sales. This continues the market shift that began in the third quarter of 2022. While the global yacht market saw a 23% decline in 2024, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> reported only a 6% decrease in transactions compared to 2023.Michel Chryssicopoulos, Global Managing Partner, shared: “Despite a challenging market, we’re pleased to report growth across all divisions. By the end of October 2024, sold 44 superyachts, booked 2,790 charter days, and secured over 790 weeks on our charter fleet. Our charter-managed fleet has expanded to 162 yachts, and we now have 55 yachts under technical management.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340720/image/large-e54402a5fe729eb7c381658748434c84.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340720"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>’s performance across sales, charter, and management highlights the strength of its strategy. “Our brokers’ expertise, global network, and strong presence in the larger yacht segment have been key to our success,” said CEO Raphael Sauleau.A Challenging Market“After two years of exceptional highs, the market has normalised, compounded by a challenging macroeconomic environment and high interest rates. Many potential buyers have been holding off, waiting for prices to decrease,” explained Raphael Sauleau. The second quarter of 2024 showed greater resilience than other periods, according to Chryssicopoulos and Sauleau, who added that “while sales volumes declined, selling prices remained strong.” “This year, buyers were more deal-oriented and price-sensitive than in the past two years, with yachts priced correctly selling quickly,” noted Michel Chryssicopoulos.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/245837/image/large-a3a9f76c40d53529fbfcd90f5871af0c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/245837" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> has demonstrated resilience in the evolving market, driven by strong client relationships and repeat business. “Expanding our active sales fleet with new CA listings is a central focus of our strategy.

The company’s focus on the large yacht market, particularly yachts in the 40-60 metre range, has been supported by advanced digital tools. “Even with fewer yachts entering the market, our investment in data analytics and technical tools has helped us remain competitive,” Sauleau explained.Over the past decade, the company has made significant strides in digital development, with a strong focus on SEO. “This has led to increased website traffic and lead generation.

While the global charter market experienced a moderate slowdown, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> has achieved a 15% increase in charter bookings this year compared to last year. Raphael Sauleau noted, “The number of yachts booked aligns with 2023 levels, but the average number of weeks per yacht has decreased.” This trend was offset by the expansion of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>’s fleet, which grew by 8% annually.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/279470/image/large-ab7bb5df82e9018c766d42f6c92bf307.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/279470" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Frankie Maxwell, US Charter Director, highlighted that “Our Charter Retail and Charter Management departments collaborate closely, ensuring our brokers know each yacht personally,” Maxwell explained. This cohesive approach, supported by IYC’s proprietary yacht database, helps brokers recommend the most relevant yachts, leading to higher conversion rates, with a third of bookings driven by IYC’s retail charter brokers.Greece, which holds 26% of the global charter market, was particularly successful for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>, which operates the largest charter fleet in Greece, with over 60 yachts this summer. While regions like the East Mediterranean continue to dominate, accounting for 51% of all summer bookings, the Caribbean and Bahamas remain key players for winter bookings, though the Bahamas saw a slight decline compared to last year. “Since the introduction of new VAT regulations, the Bahamas has experienced a slowdown, but interest in the Caribbean has risen,” Maxwell detailed. Looking ahead, Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand, is emerging as a promising niche market for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>, she shared.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/196725/image/large-9cdd0532995372824b8ad77282dcc934.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/196725">Looking to the year aheadDespite challenges in the global yacht market, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> is well-positioned for continued growth in 2025, supported by a strong strategy, expanding partnerships, and a focus on innovation. Looking to 2025, Sauleau expects a market recovery, with sales returning to pre-pandemic levels. Chryssicopoulos also foresees a more balanced market, with fewer new market entries and price reductions.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/34021/image/large-4377f4e645b1b200f1a3bab3eff36804.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/34021">Raphael Sauleau concluded, “We’ve strengthened our performance across sales, charter, and yacht management. Our fleet has grown, and we’ve maintained our position among the top companies in sales. Strong activity in this last quarter of 2024 gives us confidence for the year ahead.”

Defoe, a man known for his attention to detail and his ability to blend form with function. Commissioned by American businessman magnate Sewell Avery, she was built from humble beginnings. Originally named Lenore after Avery’s daughter, she was his private escape, a refuge from the pressures of running Montgomery Ward &amp; Co, one of the largest department store chains in the United States at the time and was primarily used on Lake Michigan by the family. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327971/image/large-96e0ef4e22cfb663b7a3fb4b201a04e3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327971">Requisitioned for War ServiceHowever, on 15 August 1942, the U.S. Government requisitioned Lenore, repurposing her for use during the Second World War. From here, Lenore was assigned to the United States Coast Guard where, like many luxury yachts of the time, she was transferred to a yard in Curtis Bay, Maryland and converted for military use.By then renamed CG-92004 and refitted for wartime duties, she spent the next few years patrolling the waters along the East Coast. During this time she was assigned to various duties, including coastal picket patrol at Rockaway Point and Fire Island, New York, as well as detachment duty with the Comsublant (Commander, Submarine Force Atlantic) headquarters in New London, Connecticut, where she aided officers in training preparations against enemy submarines. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327960/image/large-f370c5d4e739752d02ea4ec6c2242074.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327960">But it was under her later names that the yacht would become a floating symbol of American political heritage. At the end of the Second World War in November 1945, CG-92004 was transferred to the U.S. Navy. At this time, she was stationed in Washington D.C. and served as a tender for Franklin D. Roosevelt's 50.3-metre presidential yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5303" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Potomac50.3m (165'0&quot;)Manitowoc Shipbilding Corp1934">USS Potomac</a>, before she was passed on to President Harry S. Truman in 1945.During the presidency of Truman, the vessel was renamed Lenore II, a nod back to her previous name before the war. However, when she was placed under President John S.D. Eisenhower’s ownership in 1953, she was renamed Barbara Anne after his eldest daughter. Barbara Anne underwent significant refurbishments during this time and was used by the first family for various events, such as the President and First Lady's 42nd wedding anniversary on the Potomac River and as a tender for the U.S. Navy gunboat USS Williamsburg to carry the secret service. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328214/image/large-c92f234fd621de8352a29bba0e9b75ca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328214">Kennedy’s Floating RetreatBut it was under the John F. Kennedy administration that the vessel truly gained her place in the annals of American history. Just like his grandfather John F.

The vessel became Kennedy’s personal retreat, a place where he could escape the rigours of the presidency and spend time with his family. During his time in office, the yacht was often seen cruising the waters off Cape Cod, with his children playing on deck, and his wife, Jacqueline, lounging in the sun. The Kennedy family’s time onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/13377" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Honey Fitz28.35m (93'0&quot;)Defoe Shipbuilding Co.1931">Honey Fitz</a> was well-documented, with photographs of these moments becoming iconic images of his presidency. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328212/image/large-8182379fc70d2c26223db02158a41f5c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328212"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328203/image/large-851fcd485ed7adb9de265c093407907f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328203">The Kennedys spent Easter and Christmas holidays onboard the yacht and President Kennedy often hosted dignitaries on official outings. Amongst some of the guests <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/13377" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Honey Fitz28.35m (93'0&quot;)Defoe Shipbuilding Co.1931">Honey Fitz</a> welcomed onboard were, the former Prime Minister of Japan Hayato Ikeda and former United Kingdom Prime Minister Harold Macmillian. The yacht’s intimate but luxurious setting provided a stark contrast to the more formal spaces of the White House, allowing for open, candid discussions between some of the most powerful figures of the time. After Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/13377" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Honey Fitz28.35m (93'0&quot;)Defoe Shipbuilding Co.1931">Honey Fitz</a> continued to serve subsequent presidents, including Lyndon B. Johnson, who honoured President Kennedy by retaining her name as Honey Fitz. During the administration of Richard Nixon in 1969, the yacht underwent refurbishment and was renamed after Nixon’s daughter Patricia. However, by the 1970s, with changing tastes and advancements in security, the use of presidential yachts fell out of favour, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/13377" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Honey Fitz28.35m (93'0&quot;)Defoe Shipbuilding Co.1931">Honey Fitz</a> was retired from official service. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328209/image/large-084c90d2b4026a71a6c32d95304c1b76.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328209">Nixon decommissioned the yacht and put her up for sale, stating that it was a needless luxury. The yacht was sold at auction in 1971 and was passed into private hands once again, marking her first civilian owner since Sewell Avery in 1931. Her new owner, Joseph B. Keating, renamed the yacht The Presidents and chartered her for dinner parties and day cruises. But by the late 1990s, the yacht was put up for sale at auction once again, after falling into a state of disrepair. She was then placed onto a barge to prevent her from sinking, until Texas businessman William Kallop placed the winning bid at a 1998 Guernsey’s Auction of Kennedy memorabilia. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328206/image/large-4df22207015eb5dbab0acd0170abe734.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328206">A Historic Restoration and RevivalUnder the ownership of William Kallop, the vessel was once again renamed <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/13377" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Honey Fitz28.35m (93'0&quot;)Defoe Shipbuilding Co.1931">Honey Fitz</a> and began her journey of restoration.
