Global and regional yachting market trends
Overview
The superyacht industry is undergoing a shift in ownership and usage patterns, primarily fueled by a growing charter market. Projections indicate the charter sector could expand from $9.69 billion in 2026 to approximately $32.4 billion by 2035. This demand is influencing vessel design, with increased interest in the 40 to 60-meter segment, luxury multihulls, and exploration yachts. Major shipyards report high demand, with many order books filled through 2028 or 2029.
In the Mediterranean, the Greek professional yacht charter market has shown strong momentum. While the total number of charters remained stable compared to the previous year, the overall market value increased due to rising demand in the premium segment. Greece maintains a share of more than 20% of the international yachting market, showing particular strength in motor yachts, sailing yachts, and catamarans.
