Denison Yachting Sets the Pace in 79ft+ Superyacht Brokerage, 2020–2025

Fort Lauderdale | February 2026 — In a marketplace defined by shifting supply dynamics and increasingly selective buyers, Denison Yachting emerged as the most active brokerage globally in the 79ft+ (24m+) superyacht sector across the 2020–2025 period. Over those six years the firm represented 432 transaction sides in the segment, a cumulative performance that underscores consistent cross‑market reach during a cycle that included post‑pandemic acceleration, constrained inventory and a return to performance‑driven purchasing.

2025 performance: volume with discipline

The firm’s 2025 results reinforced that trajectory. Denison recorded 68 transaction sides in the 79ft+ category, with particularly strong momentum early in the year and a December total that matched the company’s strongest year‑end showing within the six‑year window. Importantly, the outcomes arrived alongside Denison’s highest median sale price in the 2020–2025 dataset and the lowest median time on market—277 days—suggesting that sales were achieved through pricing alignment and targeted buyer engagement rather than heavy discounting.

Notable 2025 transactions cited by the firm span the upper echelons of the market and include the 182′ (55m) Lürssen MOON SAND (2021), the 170′ (52m) Feadship AMANTI (2003) and the 164′ (50m) Westport GIGI (2010). Such listings reflect Denison’s capacity to operate across both new‑build and high‑value resale segments.

Discreet deals and in‑house strength

Denison’s activity profile also highlights strength in relationship‑led, off‑market work. The brokerage led in in‑house transactions for yachts over 79ft during the 2021–2025 period and was involved in the sale of two of the 15 largest yachts traded off market—an indicator of its positioning in discreet, high‑value transactions as well as open‑market campaigns.

Industry context: what this signals

As new‑build deliveries gradually replenish brokerage inventory while buyers grow more selective, success in the contemporary superyacht market requires more than listing volume. Denison’s six‑year leadership and efficiency metrics point to the competitive advantages of structured market positioning, disciplined pricing and a genuinely global buyer network. Those factors together help convert a constrained supply environment into transactions that protect seller value and meet buyers’ performance expectations.
