Sailing Steady

摘要

The industry's statistics for 2017, released in May 2018, have been keenly anticipated by industry watchers around the world as the factual picture they provide of developments cuts through the commercial noise. The figures illustrate that the advantageous price/quality ratio offered by the Dutch superyacht cluster is becoming ever more apparent. In essence, the Dutch are selling more superyachts at a higher total value, while having also steadily increased their market share over the past five years. In 2017, the 21 deliveries of vessels over 30m were carried out by ten different yards. The superyachts concerned had a total value of EUR 1.19 billion, which translates into an average price of EUR 57 million per superyacht (an increase of almost 10%). It is also the highest total value recorded to date.
