More than 1,200 superyachts are currently on order – a rise of 25 per cent on last year – according to the latest edition of the Global Order Book.
The figures for 2021 have beaten the previous all-time record of 1,008 commissions set in 2009, as the superyacht industry continues to boom.
According to Stewart Campbell, Boat International, the trend towards buying superyachts, which started last summer, is the ‘hottest sales streak on record’.
Of the 1,200 superyachts currently on order or under construction, 27 will be more than 100 metres long, according to the latest edition of Boat International’s Global Order Book. The largest is 182.9m REV Ocean, set to become the world’s largest superyacht when it is completed in 2024.
