Custom Catamaran GIZMO Built for the 34th America’s Cup in San Francisco Sold in Bidding Frenzy, Reflecting Record-Breaking Yacht Sales

Yachting enthusiasts entered a bidding war in a rare opportunity to purchase a custom catamaran built for the 34th America’s Cup in San Francisco, reflecting today’s fast-moving, record-breaking yachting market. 

M/Y GIZMO is an exquisite 45-metre boat and is just one of six limited-edition designs. Built in 2012 with comfort and adventure in mind, M/Y GIZMO is designed for entertaining, boasting a large aft deck and a light-filled interior salon featuring panoramic 360-degree views of the water and a modern configuration. Exquisitely maintained, catamaran GIZMO was originally purchased by an experienced yachtsman as a tender for his racing yacht.

Catamaran GIZMO was sold above the asking price – a rarity in the yacht market - in a unique closing by a Worth Avenue Yachts Seattle yacht broker Diego Gomez. 

Since the start of the pandemic, yacht sales have soared as an increasing number of wealthy individuals have sought the safe and private environment that yachts offer.

According to BOAT Pro data, the second half of 2020 was the best on record for brokerage sales since 2009, with the final three months of 2020 seeing more boats sold than any other quarter on record.

Gomez noted that at the start of the pandemic, Seattle yacht sales were driven predominantly by either small day boats or larger powerboats that could accommodate family groups while still allowing them to maintain social distance. However, he notes that catamaran GIZMO found its niche market as life started to return to a new normal and people began to gather once again.

“As the pandemic wore on, and things began to open, vaccines arrived, and people started travelling and getting together more, the desire to be together, entertain, and socialize became the preference, and that is where catamaran GIZMO shines,” Gomez explained.

Such was the demand for catamaran GIZMO that Gomez had to handle multiple offers at once, with four offers escalating throughout the negotiation phase, with a further offer coming in at the contract stage. With a combination of both in-house offers and co-op buyers, it was vital that Gomez handled all the offers to the highest ethical standards.

“The hardest moment, however, was when the final two buyers both expressed that they had to have the boat,” Gomez stated. “I’ve never had two buyers who were perfect for a boat at the same time, and truthfully only one boat like it to sell them. To finally find the right buyer for such a unique boat that is not designed for the mass market was very rewarding.” 

A SELLER’S MARKET

Such is the demand for luxury yachts that the yachting market is currently in favour of the seller. 

According to luxury yacht brokerages, yachts are going into the contract stage within days of being listed, with some being sold before they are even formally listed. An increasing number of yachts, such as catamaran GIZMO, are now being sold for above the asking price as multiple buyers enter a bidding frenzy.

Gomez noted that in today’s fast-moving luxury yacht market, buyers should consider time, price, and risk when making their final offer to ensure it is the most competitive. Offering higher deposits and considering escalationcauses can all work in the buyer’s favour.

As 2021 continues to break yacht brokerage sales, buyers will need to put in place robust offers to remain competitive and help them secure their ideal yacht. 

ABOUT WORTH AVENUE YACHTS

Worth Avenue Yacht was founded in 2011 by industry leaders Michael Mahan and Brian Tansey. With 30 years of experience in the yachting industry, Michael saw the need for a fresh and innovative approach to luxury yacht sales and charter—in fact, he believed an entirely new yacht brokerage business model was called for. Today, Worth Avenue Yacht’s cohesive, team-based attitude is what sets it head and shoulders above the rest, selling yachts on average nearly three times faster than the competition and with offices across the US and Monaco.

Genoa strengthens its leadership with investments in infrastructures and urban transformation. A project to promote the area internationally, aiming to further boost the economy relating to super and mega yachts.

Already among the main destinations for super and megayachts in the Mediterranean where on average more than 70% of the global superyacht fleet cruises, Genoa has further strengthened its leadership by investing in urban transformation and new infrastructures for hosting and managing large yachts.

For this reason, Amico & Co, leader in Europe and amongst the top three in the world in the superyacht repair and refitting sector, together with Pesto Sea Group, a market leader offering superyacht incoming services, yacht agency services and bunkering, are launching “Genoa Superyacht Hub”.

The project was created with the desire of promoting the excellence of the companies’ combined incoming, assistance, technical and hospitality services, specifically targeting these towards the international superyacht community in a synergic and efficient way, as well as valorising the cultural and environmental characteristics and the quality of life that the Genoese territory, Liguria and Northern Italy in general have to offer.

Genoa Superyacht Hub has as its objective that of reaching, in an effective and targeted way, yacht Owners and Captains, yacht and charter managers, crew members and technical staff, responding to each of their specific requirements through a wide range of services and structures of excellence, each of which sustainable and perfectly integrated with city living. A territory that represents something quite unique in the world, with its combination of renowned tourist destinations, food and wine culture, outdoor sports and recreational activities, mild climate and strong synergy between the numerous companies specialised in all sorts of dedicated yacht services.

This promotional activity revolves around portal www.genoasuperyachthub.com which, as well as presenting the services of the yachting agency, refit shipyard, crew hospitality, bunkering, ship chandlery, provisioning and marina, narrates the experience of living the city and its’ surrounding area and is packed with insider tips and curiosities and constantly updated.

Genoa Superyacht Hub fully represents the synergy between the two companies. Thanks to this collaboration, completely new service packages and initiatives have been created, ever more structured and exclusive, entirely dedicated to sector operators. Particular attention is paid to the assistance given to captains and crew during their stay: from health assistance to financial advisory, for example explaining

how to open current accounts or access funding, sourcing professional training courses and organising dedicated events as well as providing information about what to do in town in order to live the dolce vita.

For technical managers, the project proposes webinars dedicated to refit management, as well as fiscal and customs updates, involving international experts; for charter managers continuous updates are provided on all of the most interesting and novel visitor and cultural experiences to be inserted into their charter itineraries.

All the information the hub produces is always available to the yachting community via dedicated social media channels: on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and LinkedIn.

The launch of Genoa Superyacht Hub also coincides with the phase of full operativity of the new Waterfront Marina, a centre devoted to hospitality for large yachts, their crews and their Owners, created by Amico & Co by redeveloping part of the Darsena Nautica area at Genoa Port’s Eastern entrance.

A modern and innovative structure, that enhances and completes the selection available for those who want to choose Genoa as a home port for every season, perfectly integrated with Genoa Municipality’s Eastern Waterfront development, designed by the famous architect Renzo Piano. A major urban transformation intervention that will give hospitality to spaces and solutions designed to aggregate expertise and craftsmen from the yachting sector and the “blue economy”.

Navetta 64 - The Absolute Pathfinder - Wins First Category Place in the 16th Edition European Powerboat Awards 2021

After a successful nautical season for the shipyard and its models, Absolute Yachts has achieved another international award. Navetta 64 won the first place in her category during the 16th edition of the European Powerboat Award 2021. This is the third award received by Navetta 64, recently she has won the Best Of Boats 2020 in the category “Best for Travel” and the World Yacht Trophies as “Best Innovation.” On this occasion, the 5 selected categories arranged the nominees depending on their length which is up to 20 meters.

Absolute Yachts is pleased to announce that the Navetta 64 - The Absolute Pathfinder has been awarded during the recent "European Powerboat Award 2021".

The jury opted for the Absolute Navetta 64 because "she embodies the perfect combination of flybridge powerboat and explorer [... and] provides plenty of space both in her interior and on deck. Large window frontages, as well as the innovative execution of the stern cabin with direct access to the swim platform, convey a unique sense of lifestyle on the water." Navetta 64 - the Absolute Pathfinder - was awarded by an international jury specialized in the yachting industry, a panel of judges composed by journalists and editors-in-chief of the leading European motorboat-magazines: Båtmagasinet (Norway), BoatMag (Italy), BOOTE (Germany), Motorboot (Netherlands), MoteurBoat (France), Nautica y Yates (Spain), Neptune (France), Marina CH (Switzerland), and Yachtrevue (Austria), representing more than a million readers monthly across Europe and beyond. The qualified jury and the prestige of the competing brands make the European Powerboat Award among the most important awards worldwide.

Among the evaluation criteria, parameters such as workmanship, safety, driving behavior, design, space distribution, and price-performance ratio played a fundamental role during the nomination and voting process.

One of the most appreciated new features was the transom, usually a mere storage space - at least on yachts of this segment. On the contrary, this model has achieved the highest livability, both at day and at night. Moved at the stern, this area has become a large space, unusual on boats of this size. Beach club by day and double cabin by night: an actual extra VIP cabin, right on water.

"We are delighted with this recognition, which helps to confirm and increase the value of Absolute and its models worldwide. We will continue investing in quality and innovation as we are sure that ambition is a necessary ingredient to create a product not only for our customers but for the entire yachting sector", declared Sergio Maggi, Absolute's founder, Vice-President, and Head of the R&D department.

Absolute Spa designs and builds luxury yachts from 47 up to 73 feet in the Navetta, Flybridge and Coupé model ranges. The company has been founded in 2002 and it is based in Podenzano, Piacenza (Italy). Absolute is independent both financially and in management. The different phases of studying, planning, and production are developed internally thanks to the merge of high-level professional competencies in the yachting industry. Absolute is renowned internationally thanks to our network of dealers working hand in hand with the company and are committed to its principles. The shipyard is extended on a 48,000 Sqm surface, using geothermic and solar solutions that can control the environmental impact. In addition, a filtered system purifies the air inside the production site while disposable materials are managed sustainably and properly for the environment. Absolute is the symbol for experience, innovation, and practicality with yachts appreciated all around the world. Today, the company has solidified its place inside the yachting industry worldwide by winning several international awards for the design and architectural characteristics of the boats.
