📸 ⬇️ Ok … so I might rebrand as ‘The Smith’ 😂 Anyway .. continuing on from my review of the Global Order Book 2025, let’s go into more detail at shipyard level! There a mix of evolving key players and newbies, perfect! 🙌 🇮🇹 Italy’s Azimut|Benetti Group and Sanlorenzo Yacht continue to dominate the leaderboard, but for the first time in nearly a decade, Italy's production has dipped by 1.2%. 🕵️♀️ The secretive Ferretti Group (Ferretti, Pershing, Riva, Custom Line, CRN, Wally and Itama brands) has once again declined to share its order book, but its expected they would hold third place if they did declare their numbers. 🇳🇱 So officially we then look to Feadship - a favourite! However, their numbers could be a little bit of a fake as they are hugely boosted by the delayed delivery of Launchpad, its 118m flagship. 🇹🇷 Turkey’s shipyards, like Bilgin Yachts continue to grow despite those challenges I spoke about in my previous post around labour migration. 🇬🇧 The UK is also seeing revitalisation, with Sunseeker International Ltd and Princess Yachts under new ownership! Both are refreshing their models and I can’t wait to see this boost their orders! 📈 18 of the shipyards on the leaderboard are repeats from last year. 8 have grown their order books, 11 show declines. ⬆️ Let’s look at those 8 on the up! Cantiere delle Marche is up by three projects on last year, as is Taiwan's Ocean Alexander, which is building another facility in Kaohsiung. Sunreef Yachts has also had a good year, an enjoyed its first year in its new yard in the UAE. Baglietto Yacht run continues, with 20 projects on its order book, including a number of full-custom builds. Palumbo SuperYachts, Bilgin Yachts and Viking Yacht Company, meanwhile, have posted impressive order book growth of 24%, 29% and 34%, respectively. 🤩 Here come the newbies! FC Cube (France), Ladenstein Yacht (Austria), Rockport Marine (US) and four in Turkey: U4 Marine & Interiors, Fabbro Yachts, VENTO YACHTS and Yacht Factory! All ones to watch! 👀 Hope you are enjoying my reviews… until tomorrow 👋 📰 Boatbuilding News 🖥️ Navis Consulting #boatbuildingnews #navisconsulting #wearestr #superyacht #shipyards

🕺 One hand in the air for the big city! 🗽 Yes, I dressed as the Stat Libs 😂 Yes, I just called it that (sorry Harry Tiger) So continuing on with my thoughts after reading the Global Order Book a few hundred times 🤓 Let’s look at the top builders by nation … 🇮🇹 Italy’s been the undisputed king (queen) of superyacht production for decades, (since 2000 when it knocked the US off the top spot) still making nearly half of all yachts over 24 meters. But it’s a little concerning for them that its order book has dropped for the first time in nearly 10 years! Only slightly with 1.2% but a drop is a drop! So, what’s going on here then? 🇹🇷 In 2nd place. Well, Turkey is on a mission! With an impressive 8.9% growth in yacht production this year, Turkish yards are really stepping up, delivering yachts that rival the best of the best. Their speculative approach—building yachts before even landing buyers, shows they’re not afraid to take risks. But there’s a challenge on the horizon: a lot of skilled Turkish workers are migrating west in search of better pay, which could (will!!) drive up labour costs and potentially eat into Turkey’s price advantage. 🇳🇱 Let’s not forget, the Netherlands in 3rd! So they are still steadying themselves after some disruption (thanks to those frozen Russian orders) 🇬🇧 🇹🇼 Next up, the UK and Taiwan show an overall decrease in their production but hold solid order books for the coming years. 🇩🇪 Germany holds its original place, 6th! Building the big boys with the average size almost hitting 100m 🇺🇸 Let’s hear it for America! My new favourite country (😉) in a surprise 7th place! This is the sportfish effect for sure! 🇦🇪 Keep your eyes on the UAE! Quickly becoming a new hub for superyacht production, with Sunreef opening a facility in Dubai. 🇫🇮 Finland’s Baltic Yachts and Nautor Swan are holding strong with solid order books. 🤔 My thoughts? The superyacht industry is evolving fast. With Turkey, the UAE, and others emerging as serious competitors, the big players may need to up their game to stay ahead! 🎲 Game on! 📰 Boatbuilding News 🖥️ Navis Consulting #boatbuildingnews #navisconsulting #wearestr #globalorderbook

What does one do on a flight to NYC? ✈️ 🇺🇸 🥂 Champagne for breakfast to start (of course) but then a study of the Global Order Book 2025 (or is this just me 🤔 🤓) I’ll delve into more detail in future posts but … for a start. 💥 It seems the superyacht market is doing better than expected! We are still cruising the post-Covid boom! ⬇️ Yes, the number of yachts in production has dropped a bit in 2024 (from 1,203 to 1,138) but that’s still way ahead of the 821 seen in 2021. 🤩 What's really exciting is how shipyards are thinking ahead! Building on spec so they have readily available yachts to capture the ‘I want it nows’ 🥰 Even though there are fewer yachts being built, the ones in the works are bigger and more luxurious. The total gross tonnage has jumped by 5.3%, and yachts are now averaging 40 meters and 507 GT! ✨ It’s clear numbers that show buyers want larger, more extravagant yachts! 👀 The next few years are an interesting watch but for now, at least, the trend is all about bigger and better yachts! 📰 Boatbuilding News 🖥️ Navis Consulting #boatbuildingnews #navisconsulting #wearestr #superyacht
