End-of-Year Insights for Buyers Ready to Make Their Move

Posted December 16, 2025 in Brokerage & New Build

As we close out the year, the energy in the superyacht market is unmistakable. Inventory is strong and sellers are putting forward compelling opportunities across every size category. For serious buyers, this is a strong alignment of pricing and availability. 

Across our fleet, standout yachts are emerging as clear value propositions, each backed by brokers who know exactly why now is the time to make a move. 

ALFA NERO | 266′ (82m) Oceanco | Listed with Richard Higgins | €88,500,000 

Richard Higgins describes ALFA NERO as “a generational yacht — an Oceanco icon with award-winning design and incomparable presence.” 

Fresh from a 2024 refit, she remains one of the most recognizable yachts in the global fleet, celebrated for her pioneering infinity pool with elevating deck and her bold Alberto Pinto interior. With 1,250m² of living space across six staterooms, all connected by a glass elevator, and extensive wellness, spa and cinema facilities, she offers scale and artistry rarely seen today. For buyers seeking genuine status and long-term relevance, ALFA NERO is a commercially intelligent acquisition. 

AXIOMA | 236′ (72m) Dunya | Listed with Richard Higgins | €55,000,000 

Richard shares that AXIOMA “is one of the smartest opportunities on the market today — a proven charter powerhouse with a dramatic interior volume that simply can’t be replicated at this size. After her extensive 2024–2025 MB92 refit, she’s turnkey and future-ready.” 

Her double-height main salon, infinity pool, Alberto Pinto interior and exceptional wellness and cinema amenities make her one of the most in-demand large charter yachts in the world. With a steel hull, 5,000nm range and a fully renewed technical platform, AXIOMA combines fresh condition with strong commercial viability; a rare mix in the 70m+ market. 

VALINOR | 164′ (50m) Westport | Listed with Wes Sanford, Sean Doyle & Mike Finnegan | $24,000,000

Wes Sanford notes that VALINOR “is now aggressively priced, asking less than the last two sister ships sold for. She is in excellent, turnkey condition.” 

Delivered in 2013 and fresh from her 10-year ABS survey, VALINOR blends American craftsmanship with global cruising capability. Six generous staterooms — including a private bridge-deck master with terrace and a main-deck VIP — make her ideal for family or charter use. With a proven hull, strong performance (up to 21 knots), and versatile outdoor living spaces, she stands out as an excellent value in the 50m category. 

CALLIOPE | 142′ (42.28m) Richmond | Listed with Wes Sanford & Ed Dickinson | $11,500,000 

Wes highlights that CALLIOPE “is a showpiece. She’s in amazing condition and lightly used.” 

After a 2022 refit and built with the volume and warmth Richmond is known for, CALLIOPE feels refined, capable and ready for her next chapter. A full-beam master with office, four generous guest cabins, a welcoming skylounge and expansive outdoor decks give her strong appeal for private cruising or charter. Proven on a full circumnavigation and updated for efficiency with a new bulbous bow, she’s a standout opportunity in the 40m range. 

MISS MICHELLE | 122′ (37.2m) Horizon | Listed with Wes Sanford & Kevin Merrigan | $16,450,000

 

As Wes explains, MISS MICHELLE “is a brand new 2025 Horizon priced much less than replacement value. She is also duty paid with extended warranties.” 

The flagship of Horizon’s RP series, she pairs long-range efficiency with a contemporary, design-forward interior and a standout dual-master layout — perfect for multi-generational cruising. Built with Horizon’s SCRIMP™ technology and powered by C32Bs, she offers confident performance and zero-speed comfort. Her indoor-outdoor upper deck, foredeck Jacuzzi lounge, beach club and pristine 2025 delivery position her as one of the most compelling new-build offerings on the market. 

REMY ROO | 112′ (34.1m) Westport | Listed with Bruce Leffers | $7,795,000 

Bruce Leffers describes REMY ROO as “a stunning combination of low hours, all systems serviced and up to date, further enhanced by exquisite book-matched woodwork throughout. She’s one of the finest Westport 112’s ever built.” 

Delivered in 2014 and presented in turnkey condition, she’s the newest and most extensively upgraded Westport 112 on the market. With low engine hours, major mechanical updates, new tech integrations and refreshed interiors, she’s an ideal family cruiser ready for immediate enjoyment. A redesigned foredeck, upgraded stabilizers, new teak, and a well-planned flybridge with Jacuzzi round out a package that’s priced to move in a highly competitive segment. 

Across all size ranges, one theme is clear: well-presented yachts with pedigree and fresh investment are attracting serious attention, and buyers who act now are benefiting from meaningful advantages. If you’re considering your next acquisition, our brokers are here to guide you through the landscape and help you capitalize on this active moment.
