Burgess, the global leader in luxury yachting, is heading into the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (October 29 – November 2) with strong momentum, buoyed by a recent streak of three major sales that underscore the vitality of the American superyacht market. The company, which has 18 offices worldwide, continues to expand its U.S. operations, leveraging a surge in American ownership and charter activity.
“As confidence in the U.S. luxury market continues to rise, we’re seeing unprecedented enthusiasm from American clients seeking both new builds and brokerage opportunities,” said Jonathan Beckett, CEO of Burgess. “The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show remains one of the world’s premier stages for yachting, and this year we look forward to continuing that momentum with a truly standout fleet and an energized team.”
At this year's show, Burgess will present a dynamic lineup of yachts that reflect the depth of today’s market, from cutting-edge catamarans to classic Northern European builds. The fleet includes the 60m SCOTT FREE (Abeking & Rasmussen, 2009, refitted 2022), asking EUR 43.5 million; the 44.2m sailing catamaran HEMISPHERE (Pendennis, 2011, refitted 2023), asking EUR 46 million; the 36.6m VIRTUE (Benetti, 2008, refitted 2024), asking USD 7.125 million; the 28.7m SAYONARA (Overmarine, 2015), asking USD 4.25 million; and the 24m GOOD DAY SUNSHINE (Sunreef Yachts, 2024), asking USD 9.9 million. Each yacht represents the Burgess standard of excellence in design, performance, and pedigree.
The American superyacht market has demonstrated record-breaking strength, and Burgess's recent sales streak reinforces its growing presence across the Americas. The company will be on display within the Hall of Fame Marina and Superyacht Village locations at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which spans nearly three million square feet across seven locations, welcomes over 100,000 visitors each year, and features more than 1,000 exhibitors from 52 countries.
