A changing tide in global superyacht ownership and innovation

As the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2025 prepares to welcome over 180 superyachts, the U.S. market asserts itself once more as a global hub for luxury maritime assets. Simultaneously, Europe’s METSTRADE 2025 turns its focus toward sustainability, propulsion innovation, and refit sector growth—signaling that refinement, not excess, will define the next era of yachting.

Meanwhile, the recent court-mandated sale of the 106-meter Amadea underscores the growing importance of ownership transparency, while the British Virgin Islands’ expanded flagging access adds flexibility for private owners and financiers structuring yacht holdings across jurisdictions. For clients of Global Wealth Maritima, these shifts frame a new frontier: one where craftsmanship, compliance, and capital discipline converge on the open sea.
