WHAT NEXT IN A BUSY MARKET?

T

he story of one Client who came to Fraser to sell his yacht, a 42M (137’) earlier in the summer will, in a year that continues to smash sales records every month, resound with many of us.

Having enjoyed his yacht for many years, he decided to spend one more summer on board before securing a Buyer in the autumn and moving on to a new vessel.

Knowing the average time it takes to sell a yacht in a normal year, the Owner put his yacht on the market in late spring and planned weeks on board with his family and friends in July and August. But then something unexpected happened. Within just a week of listing the yacht on the worldwide market, the yacht had received an offer. And then another.

Determined to go ahead with his plans to make the most of his final summer on board, he declined the offers. But more came in, each better than the last, and eventually, one he could not refuse.

Although delighted to have his yacht successfully sold by his Fraser Broker, he was left with a dilemma: with a generally low worldwide inventory of yachts available, and none he wanted to buy, how to continue to enjoy yachting?

It’s a question our Brokers are being asked more than ever after successfully selling yachts on behalf of their Owners. So what options are available until the pre-owned inventory returns to normal?

1. BUILD YOUR OWN While it’s true that some shipyards are fully booked for build slots until 2025, some quality shipyards still have the capacity to take on new projects and deliver earlier, giving you the option to build a yacht designed around your profile and exact yachting requirements. Your Broker can guide you as to the best yard for you, based on exactly what you are looking for, what you want from your yacht and how long you are prepared to wait.

And your Project Manager can work with you, your chosen shipyard and your build team to ensure it stays on time, on budget and is delivered to your exact expectations (see our feature on pages 8-11 for more details).

2. BUY PRE-OWNED… AND REFIT TO YOUR PREFERENCE If, after speaking with your Broker, your chosen shipyard is booked up for the next 2-3 years and you prefer not to wait, there is another option with a comparable outcome achievable in a fraction of the time. Buying a yacht and refitting it, supported by Fraser Project Management, to your own specification and vision, is your opportunity to step on board an as-new yacht, overhauled to meet your every requirement, from an interior refresh or the installation of a beach club or spa, to a full hull extension. As refitting is generally faster than building, and the slots for these projects are different to new build slots, it is also more likely a shipyard will be able to take on this kind of project more quickly.

3. CHARTER UNTIL YOU FIND YOUR DREAM VESSEL To continue enjoying yachting while you build or wait for the right yacht to join the market, we recommend chartering while you wait. And that could be sooner than you think — as discussed in our Market Intelligence piece on pages 2-3, while inventory is certainly lower than normal, there remains quality product available for sale. If you do need to wait, chartering is more than just an enjoyable stopgap: by spending time on board yachts with different operational profiles and features, in a variety of styles and sizes, you can more sharply define exactly what you are looking for when you do come to purchase your next vessel. Our tips for this year? Book now if you want to secure your chosen yacht and dates. The demand for charter increased in 2020 and is even stronger for the 2021-2022 seasons: our own fleet saw an increase in bookings of 46% on last year, and the Fraser Charter Retail team is seeing a significant increase in bookings in 2021. More people are looking to charter — 40% of them for the first time — so contact your Broker today to secure your dream vessel.

ALLINN MEET THE OWNERS SERIES: ANN & DAVID SUTHERLAND

SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER CHARTER YACHTS ON THE MARKET TODAY. NOW THE OWNERS OF THE 39.6M/130’ WESTPORT ALL INN SHARE JUST WHY SHE IS THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.

H

ow many yacht Owners can say that the impetus that inspired them to finally buy a yacht was worrying about a recession?

Ann and David Sutherland, Owners of 39.6M/130’ Westport yacht ALL INN, one of Fraser’s most successful charter yachts, are among them.

“In 2008-2009, when the economy was in the deepest part of recession, we had some friends invite us on their yacht in the Bahamas and it was quite an eye opener,” explains David. “I was getting up in my career and had been very concerned about what was going to happen. But after drinking rosé for three days in this beautiful destination, it dawned on me that our friends weren’t worried about the economy, so why should I be? It was quite a revelation to realise that money is like energy: it doesn’t go away, it just changes Owners.”

Their first ownership experience was as partners in a 100’ Westship.

“When that sold, at about the same time we sold our vacation house in Santa Fe, I said to Ann: what if our next home floated?” explains David.

“All our kids and grandkids had enjoyed the house over the years, but we always felt an obligation to go there, and while it was beautiful and we loved it, the fantasy of having different groups of people on the yacht in different places in the world was a very strong influence.”

Decision made, what drew them to ALL INN? “I loved the idea that it’s a Westport, which has a reputation for quality and longevity,” says David.

“I also like that Westport is American made. When we began looking, it wasn’t so much the yacht’s interior or physical properties, but more about how mechanically sound it was. Plus, the Captain is so very important to the whole effort, so in the very first stages, I went to our previous one and said: ‘If you’re not going to be my Captain, I’m not going to buy a yacht.’

He asked me what I was looking at buying, I told him a 130 Westport, and he said that was exactly where he wanted to be. So everything came together and since then we’ve had wonderful experiences.”

There was one issue: the interior. “It was obvious to us that the Westport 130 we had found was in the best condition mechanically and physically,

but it lacked a lot in terms of its appearance. It really looked very dowdy and old-fashioned inside. Ann was hesitant at the beginning. She walked on board and said: ‘Wow, have we got a lot of work to do!’” As Ann puts it: “I wasn’t going to take it the way it was, so that just sunk us a little deeper into the project. But it was fun to do.”

Approaching a refit can be daunting for Owners, but the Sutherlands took on the task with a distinct advantage: decades of experience in designing and manufacturing fabrics and furnishings for yachts and luxury properties, as founders of Perennials and Sutherland, LLC. David and Ann count top yachting names as friends and clients, including Bannenberg & Rowell, for whom they are introducing a collection of furniture and textiles next year, and Bonetti / Kozerski Architecture.

So what needed to change on ALL INN in order for it to be their perfect yacht? “It was very gold and yellow inside when we took it over,” explains Ann. “We moved everything more to the platinum range, and it’s just lighter and brighter now — it feels very comfortable. I don’t do a lot of pattern work, so it’s cohesive in the way it looks, and that tends to expand the space, but we did accent with navy and blues. And up on the flybridge, which we have dubbed the Blue Moon Bar, we used navy blue on the banquettes. We have been suppliers and favoured vendors to Westport for many years, and when we bought the yacht there were actually ten pieces of our furniture on board from the original Owner. We kept most of them but we did update a few others.”

Being both Owners and designers also means that ALL INN doubles as a working test space and vacation home on the water. “It’s really a lot of fun for me to use the yacht as an experimental lab in decorating and choosing fabrics from our own collections to see what works in different situations,” says Ann. “We show at Monaco every year and understanding more and more about what those designers are looking for is really a great asset for the company. Yachts are very specific, with needs that you don’t run into in a regular home. The choice of accessories and material, and to make it feel ‘of the water’, and of course comfortable
