Weekly Yachting Market Update
The yachting industry saw an active week with fresh concepts, new launches, notable transactions, and important corporate moves shaping the market. Here’s a look at the key highlights.
New Designs
This week brought two exciting design announcements. Oceanteriors revealed its interiors for the 80-metre Oceanco Simply Custom Lassel, adding a new perspective to Oceanco’s forward-looking series. Meanwhile, Concepthull Studio introduced its 90-metre superyacht concept Supreme, blending bold exterior lines with innovative onboard spaces.
