Anders Kurtén, CEO, Fraser

In his latest Column for Yacht Style (Issue 85), Fraser CEO Anders Kurtén admitted he was looking forward to the 34^th Monaco Yacht Show, largely due to the wave of new builds completed this year.

“After a strong kick-off to the 2025 European yacht show season at Palma, where Fraser had 10 yachts up to 64m in length on display, we’re looking forward to a further successful event at the Monaco Yacht Show for both Fraser and the industry as a whole,” Kurtén wrote.

“In fact, we’re expecting the busiest Cannes and Monaco shows of recent years, after a surge in deliveries of new-build yachts following orders placed during the boom years of 2021 and 2022.”

Kurtén also stated that the brokerage superyacht market remained healthy, particularly for the larger sizes, while charter bookings were also strong through the summer.

“We are seeing a continued robust appetite for brokerage yachts, particularly in the 50-65m sector, which saw a 50 per cent increase in number of yachts sold (year to date) from 2024 to 2025,” Kurtén wrote in his Column.

“Similarly, the summer charter season for 2025 saw demand remain very high, particularly for last-minute escapes. Across both 2024 and 2025, the top three regions remained the same in terms of both total charter fees and number of bookings: the Caribbean, Western Mediterranean and the Bahamas.”
