Global political events have cooled the superyacht brokerage market, causing a drop in sales in 2019. End of year results show that a total of 398 yachts of 24m (78ft) or more were sold in 2019, down from the 437 that changed hands in 2018 and the 433 recorded in 2017. The total asking price also took a hit, falling from 2018's $5.29 billion to $4.14 billion. Industry figures claim the numbers were no major concern, blaming the lukewarm performance on disruptive political events, including the US and China trade war, Middle East tensions and Brexit.
