In a market increasingly defined by rising build costs and limited pedigree opportunities, the 29-metre La Joie de Mer presents a rare proposition: a Jongert sailing yacht that combines Dutch build quality with a notably strong performance profile. Built in 2005 to a design by Tony Castro, she stands apart for her sleek, elegant lines with a more contemporary aesthetic compared to earlier Jongert models, and for a specification originally conceived with performance in mind, including competitive Corinthian and Bucket-style racing.At her core, La Joie de Mer reflects a design philosophy centred on seaworthiness, comfort, long-range capability and, crucially, enhanced sailing performance: qualities that remain highly relevant in today’s brokerage landscape.A proven bluewater platform with enhanced sailing performance  Designed as a true sailing yacht, La Joie de Mer benefits from a Castro-penned hull that has been further optimised through an upgraded keel configuration, a modification that significantly improves both performance and handling. This is complemented

For experienced yacht owners, the journey from one vessel to the next is rarely defined by simple upgrade logic. Instead, it is shaped by evolving expectations, refined preferences and a deeper understanding of how time on the water should feel. In the case of Dan Nuktis, who added the Vanquish Yachts VQ70 to his collection only a  year after purchasing the VQ55, the expansion of his yacht collection reflects how experienced owners are purchasing based on insight and experience.Having initially entered the Vanquish fold with the VQ55, Dan was drawn to the Dutch builder’s reputation for craftsmanship, performance and striking design. “When I was initially exploring day yachts, I wanted to find a high quality brand, one that had innovation, high quality fit and finish and style consistent with my expectations,” he explains, “the Vanquish checked all the boxes.” Vanquish Yachts are built based on centuries-old traditions of craftsmanship and all elements are made

Despite a backdrop of geopolitical tension and economic uncertainty, the United States continues to assert itself as the dominant force in the global superyacht market. Insights from Barrett Wright of Hill Robinson and Alastair Callender of Moravia Yachting USA, part of the Hill Robinson Group, reveal a market defined less by contraction than by evolution – shaped by more informed buyers, shifting demographics and a growing demand for transparency.Confidence amid uncertainty While uncertainty remains a defining feature of the global landscape, the upper tiers of the market appear largely insulated. “There is a lot of uncertainty right now given the current administration’s policies,” explains Barrett Wright, “but overall those policies have benefitted the ultra-wealthy.” This resilience is reflected in transactional activity. Wright notes that “the US is where the market lies as far as transactions are concerned,” with February 2026 sales surpassing January, according to Boat International. From a brokerage perspective, Alastair Callender reinforces this position:

The Palma International Boat Show continues to strengthen its position within the Mediterranean yachting calendar, with the 2026 edition reflecting sustained demand across every segment of the event.For this year’s show, the Superyacht New Build Hub will be hosted at Marina Port de Mallorca, located just minutes from the main exhibition area and connected via both land transport and dedicated water shuttles. The setting provides a focused environment tailored specifically to the large sailing yacht sector. Now fully booked, the Superyacht New Build Hub will bring together shipyards, brokers, designers and naval architects, responding directly to growing demand from this segment for a platform where projects can be presented within a specialised and highly relevant context. The milestone further reinforces Palma’s long-standing reputation as a centre for large sailing yachts and reflects the clear direction of the show in supporting and elevating this segment of the market.On the water, the area will showcase a

While the superyacht industry is defined by cutting-edge technology and complex systems, it is the people behind the technology who make it all happen. For Videoworks, this human dimension has become a defining factor: While the company has built its reputation on delivering advanced audio-visual, IT and entertainment solutions to some of the world’s most prestigious superyachts, its true differentiator lies in the global network of individuals who bring those systems to life.Founded in Italy in 1974, Videoworks has grown into an international organisation with offices spanning across Europe and the United States, including key locations in Ancona, Viareggio, Savona, Amsterdam and Fort Lauderdale. This geographical spread is not simply a matter of logistics or market reach. Instead, it reflects a deliberate strategy to remain close to clients, shipyards and vessels wherever they may be, while fostering a collaborative culture within the company that transcends borders.A shared mindset At the heart of Videoworks is a
