As one of the largest and most reputable global yachting brokerages, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> continues to solidify its dominant position in the superyacht market. The company had a transformative 2023, marked by significant global expansion, valuable partnerships, and extremely strong sales activity. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307319/image/large-ffa69ecd2568b4585ebcd021275f1ea0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307319">In total, the brokerage sold an impressive 40 yachts in 2023. Demand surged particularly for yachts over 60-metres, a segment where they showcased formidable sales growth. With over 160 professionals worldwide, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>'s seasoned consultants continue to build on this growth trajectory with their wealth of experience and unparalleled market insights, serving a worldwide client base.&nbsp;Expanding horizons<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>'s growth has spread to all facets of the business, from increased revenues, additional geographical locations, and onboarding new team members to having the largest fleet worldwide, with a remarkable seven yachts on average per manager, allowing for a boutique approach. With an eye toward the future, the company continues to reinvest its profits, focusing on overall global growth, achieving record-breaking sales feats, and landing larger central agent listings, like the most recent 74-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/113" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Global74.0m (242'9&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Global</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307317/image/large-ca8abd438f8c630f3593c67f6b2d27a6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307317">Their commitment to expansion is highlighted by their increasing geographical footprint. Three years after establishing a UK base, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> UK opened its new office in a centralised Mayfair location in London late last year. Richard Gray, Head of UK sales, notes: "We are now one of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>'s top-performing offices, with projected year-on-year growth across both sales and charter divisions." Elsewhere, the company continues capitalising on the growing UAE market through its newly established presence in Dubai, bringing its total operations to 15 offices in prime international locations. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289623/image/large-02e32cb2f48fd4db9ebc2ee2fd160661.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289623">Adapting to market dynamics&nbsp;While the industry naturally fluctuates, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> adapts its strategies to navigate the evolving market landscape. The start of this year has seen slower sales compared to the post-pandemic sales flurries, but <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>'s brokers continue to drive forward, catering to the specific needs of owners and building long-term relationships. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307313/image/large-198b416f8c77da67f66ee1823d711caa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307313">Gray comments: "Overall, the sales market isn't as strong as it was this time last year, but we are slowly but surely beginning to see an increase in new sales listings joining the global market." With recent additions, such as the 57-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/106" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Trinity Yachts, LLC (Company)">Trinity</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Liberty57.03m (187'1&quot;)Trinity Yachts, LLC2012">Liberty</a> and 54-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/528" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire54.0m (177'2&quot;)Benetti SpA1997">Starfire</a>.&nbsp;As history shows, if yachts are priced correctly, they tend to continue to sell. "The key to securing a sale quickly in this market - and keeping the market active - is pricing correctly, in line with the true market value to avoid stagnation," he adds. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307315/image/large-b85615d73a4f77d067b44aaf39d04929.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307315">Frankie Maxwell, US Sales and Charter Director agrees: "It is a saturated market with more sellers than buyers; as sellers gradually accept that price reductions are necessary to sell, I believe we will see the market start to come back to life. Everyone is looking for the best deal, whether on a charter rate or purchase; this is where our brokers have an opportunity to negotiate, advise and demonstrate what they do best for their clients."The company remains at the forefront of all market changes, one of which can be seen from the increasing demand for more eco-conscious choices. Michel Chryssicopoulos, Global Managing Partner, explains: "Both sail and motor catamarans seem to be gaining significant popularity. The catamaran market is experiencing a sustainable expansion, likely due to factors aligning with growing environmental concerns. Compared to five years ago, these boats are much more common, and I expect this market segment to keep growing in terms of variety and size." A prime example is the innovative, recently delivered catamaran, This Is It - an <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> project sold and managed by Chryssicopoulos - a testament to the advanced developments in the multihull market. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307320/image/large-625f953f813460b423cf6a301ed71282.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307320">Off-market opportunitiesBy leveraging a positive teamwork ethic and a strong in-house sales and marketing team, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> continues to broker some of the industry's top deals. Over the last five years, deals where <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> has represented both the buyer and seller have comprised almost 50 percent of the total deals done."To be successful, you need to be able to provide clients with off-market opportunities, and we find that more and more sales are happening in this way. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> has been dominant in this area due to our strong internal communications. Information is shared daily between <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> brokers across the globe, and our digital tools support and keep clients informed quickly and efficiently of any updates," explains Gray.Maxwell adds: "Last year, we represented both the buyer and seller in a yacht purchase that closed in three days. I trust that this upward trend is a result of our regular sales meetings where brokers can share and promote their listings and an overall improved team spirit."Innovative approaches&nbsp;At the forefront of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>'s strategy is its dedicated technology team committed to innovation, utilising cutting-edge technologies and digital tools to drive success. "We focus on using advanced technology by developing proprietary tools, improving SEO, and utilising AI trends," says Maxwell.&nbsp;Chryssicopoulos adds: "We innovate by creating cutting-edge tools for our sales and charter teams. Crisp marketing is a pillar for our company, enabling us to create a strong charter fleet and consistently maintain a leading position in global sales rankings. The one constant deeply embedded in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>'s DNA is maintaining a clean reputation and ethical approach to business."With their adept marketing team and substantial investments in digital platforms delivering results, Maxwell explains: "We continue to evolve and find new ways to differentiate ourselves from the competition, which helps us attract and retain top talent."New-build successThese approaches have secured <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>'s success in the new-build sector. The company maximised on the recent wave of activity, securing more than 15 current new-build projects ranging from 30 to 75 metres. "It is very fulfilling to be involved with those new-build projects, which give a breath of fresh air to our company and our industry overall," comments Chryssicopoulos. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307310/image/large-9edce2dfc80a5441264ef973e8db4fbd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307310">Further underlining IYC's strength in the new-build representation, Gray comments on the most recent <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) (Company)">Cantiere delle Marche (CdM)</a> projects: "<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> UK represented both the buyers for the Deep Blue 141 43-metres and the 35-metre Deep Blue 115 sold in January this year. Both projects have very high specifications and meticulous design elements to their builds, with deliveries penned for 2026 and 2027."

Admiral’s 72m yacht Admiral 72 unveiled

The Italian Sea Group has unveiled the 72m Admiral superyacht Metamorphosis designed by Giorgio Armani.

72m Giorgio Armani designed superyacht Admiral 72 unveiled

When a designer is quizzed by overly enthusiastic journalists about the inspiration behind their latest superyacht creation, one of the most challenging (and, I can imagine, potentially irritating) questions comes when the said writer asks said designer to distil down years’ worth of hard work, blood, sweat and tears, and to “describe their creation in three words.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231136/image/large-5d330a0385243845413e293c4737d141.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231136">As a writer who has been known to pose this question on numerous occasions, I have received a variety of responses to this question, with respondents often relying on tried and tested descriptions for yacht design to prevent me from asking too many follow-ups, whether that be ‘contemporary’, ‘soothing’, ‘sporty’ and so on.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231143/image/large-bb8ecde67b16a164bf84e16713ce765c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231143">One respondent who took a slightly different tack when answering this question was <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/582" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Clifford Denn Design (Company)">Clifford Denn</a>, the seasoned superyacht designer responsible for the exteriors of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>’s 65-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2448" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tanusha65.0m (213'3&quot;)Feadship2009">Tanusha</a> (delivered in 2009), as well as numerous <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a> yachts, including the 50-metre 499 GT superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6106" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omaha49.9m (163'9&quot;)Heesen Yachts2018">Omaha</a>, and the 49.6-metre&nbsp;Lady Li.

This was down to the inclusion of features such as comfortable stairs, a spacious entry lobby with wide interior doors and corridors which are typically only found on much larger yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231163/image/large-48833e7647f791a349223eaf79c25048.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231163">In terms of accommodation, a total of 10 guests can be housed on board, split across five elegantly-designed and comfortable staterooms, with the owner’s stateroom found forward on the main deck and the remaining cabins located on the lower deck.Practically perfect&nbsp;Both physically striking and elegantly mobile on the water thanks to the presence of her bulbous bow – which also aids her twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MTU (Company)">MTU</a> 8V4000 M63 engines in powering <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6825" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Arkadia49.9m (163'9&quot;)Heesen Yachts2021">Arkadia</a> to a top speed of 15 knots – <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6825" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Arkadia49.9m (163'9&quot;)Heesen Yachts2021">Arkadia</a>’s exterior design features a traditional peak bow with a reversed sheer line which is seamlessly incorporated into her profile.

Using this style of window also helps to maximise the usable space on the sundeck, which is naturally very important to those on board.”&nbsp;And, with the sundeck spanning an impressive 98 square metres, and coming complete with a Jacuzzi, an al-fresco dining area and ample sun loungers, the proof of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/582" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Clifford Denn Design (Company)">Denn</a>’s design is in the pudding.&nbsp;Behind the wheelWhen asked about the often-cited automotive influences behind his design, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/582" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Clifford Denn Design (Company)">Denn</a>is quick to clarify. “Everyone says it’s ‘classic car inspired’, but it wasn’t ‘classic car’ necessarily: it could be any car. It’s more inspired by cars that might become classic and timeless. It is about using those sorts of details that stand the test of time. For example, in the aft fashion plates, you can see these little silver strakes. One of the guys that worked on our 3D modelling had worked for Fisker, doing the Fisker car, and so at the time, we were calling these the ‘Fisker whiskers.’<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231189/image/large-a21c4ae8eb08a9144a3a339c99fc9a32.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231189">He continues: “You could design a boat which is entirely practical without including any of these details, but we are trying to create an E-type Jaguar or an Aston Martin as opposed to a Land Rover in our designs.”An adaptable interior&nbsp;Following the same course as the exterior design, the experienced team at the Bath-based studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/56" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Reymond Langton Design Ltd.

The Race Committee made the decision to opt for a shorter southerly course due to low winds, with the starting line located off Porto Cuervo. Both the Multihull and Superyacht Division would round the island of Soffi, before heading for the Bisce pass and the finish line. The Multihulls once again started first, with the Superyacht Division following with a staggered start procedure.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/229455/image/large-5631f315d223971d4450eed92ccb9469.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/229455">The Multihull Division saw Lord Irvine Laidlaw’s, Highland Fling XVII win the day’s race and secure his first win of the event.
