November 2025 witnessed a notable surge in brokerage yacht sales, driven in large part by high-value transactions and an influx of fresh listings. The presented data reveals 31 yachts were sold, with the combined going-total reaching an impressive €473.8 million—a remarkable increase from €329.7 million recorded from 29 sales in the same month in 2024.
The high-dollar deals included the sale of Lürssen's 55.5-metre Moon Sand for €65 million. The motor yacht, just out of a refit, was brokered by Edmiston and Cecil Wright, while Denison Yachting introduced the buyer. Among the 31 transactions, two were new-build yachts—the Maiora 42 Exuma and horizon FD80 yacht Hull 15, selling for €28 million and €6.5 million, respectively.
Additionally, 68 price drops were recorded in November, leading to a combined trim of €59.9 million off the marketplace. Notable price reductions included the 55-metre yacht Galene, which now stands at €35.5 million following a €4.3 million price drop, and the 49.8-metre Rocket, reduced by €4 million to a new asking price of €24 million.

What this means on the water
This story matters only if it helps sailors, owners, clubs, marinas and readers make better decisions afloat or ashore. The new point should be the named event, result, boat, notice, place or change in the report above, not the shine around it. Old Sea Dogs treats press releases and organiser statements as a starting point, then looks for the practical detail: dates, entry rules, berthing, costs, crew impact, safety notes and what readers should check next. What remains uncertain is the usual waterfront mix of weather, final notices, availability, pricing and how a claim holds up once people arrive. Use this piece as a pointer, then check the linked source before making plans.
