In this week’s episode of BOAT Briefing, we lead with news that BOAT International Media has become part of the Informa Group’s portfolio of specialist media brands. The team also discuss the history and impact of catamaran builder Sunreef, and dive into some eye-opening numbers from a study on the Italian marine industry. Headline news is a dramatic fire at Lürssen, but there are happier happenings at Benetti, with the sale of custom 80m Project Iron Man, and at Numarine, where the first 30XP is ready to debut at Cannes Yachting Festival. Brokerage picks comprise the rebuilt 50m Feadship Emerald and 89m Amels Here Comes the Sun. Data this week piggy backs on news that the sixth Amels 60 has launched – how many yachts from this phenomenally successful family of designs do you think the Dutch builder has sold?
