The brokerage house recently closed seven superyacht transactions in an intense two-week period.
Codecasa 56m My Legacy
Burgess is celebrating a significant surge in sales, with the global brokerage house announcing the close of seven deals in a two-week period in May 2025. The transactions in this short period totalled €303.6 million, with an average asking price of about €43.4 million.
Jonathan Beckett, the Burgess CEO, stated: “We’re enormously proud of our collaborative team for seeing each of these transactions through from start to finish. Yet again, we have underscored the power of our global networks where knowledge, insights, data and contacts are shared seamlessly among our directly employed brokers.”
One, the 76m Feadship, was the biggest of the sales in the frenetic two weeks and had a last asking price of €172.5 million, representing more than half the value of the sales during this period. Other transactions included Alloy Yachts’ 56m sailing ketch Salvaje and the 56m Codecasa My Legacy, both transacted with Burgess representing the seller.
Burgess stated that another superyacht in the 50-60m range, built by a northern European shipyard, was confidentially sold by a Burgess broker in an off-market transaction. The seven transactions also included three sub-50m builds: the 45m Delta Marine Gran Finale, 38m Sodan and 33m Maria Theresa, a Custom Line 120’ and Navetta 33 respectively.

In the four weeks beforehand, Burgess had closed deals on two Damen Yachting vessels, representing the seller of the 80m explorer-style U-81 and bringing in the buyer of the Yacht Support 53 Five Oceans, which had been delivered to her original owner in 2024.
The recent sales boom made space for Burgess to welcome new listings in June including the 85m Lürssen Gigia – with an asking price of €169 million – and 60m Scott Free, asking €43.5 million. The largest vessel in Burgess’ sales fleet is currently the 123m Lürssen Golden Odyssey.
This year, Burgess is celebrating its 50th anniversary and the 10th anniversary of its Asia operation headed by Singapore-based Jean-Marc Poullet.
