MARKET SPECIAL WITH BURGESS

21 JUNE 2021

Just before Europe’s summer season kicks off in full swing, we’ll take a closer look at the superyacht market in general, and who better to ask than Burgess’ Chief Executive Jonathan “Joff” Beckett? As one of the most successful yacht brokers, Joff shares his insights on short-term trends and long-term developments. How did Covid change client behaviour? Will we see younger yacht buyers with different demands in the future? And if so, how can the industry adapt? Heesen CEO Arthur Brouwer will also share his market outlook.
