“2013 set to close strongly,” says Thom Conboy of BYS
Following the sale of ‘Karia’, Thom Conboy of BYS spoke with SuperyachtNews.com for the recent market activity.…
Having sold 45m Karia this week, Thom Conboy at BYS is looking positively to the close of 2013. “Karia is an extremely high quality boat built by one of the top Turkish yards”. Echoing similar sentiments from brokers as of late, Conboy shares “the yachting industry is seeing a strong uptick in both new and used boat sales this season.” Following new strength at MYS and FLIBS, Conboy feels “the show season fared extremely well and I think we’re going to seeing increased strength for the close of this year.” Not only has 2013 shown improvements, Conboy thinks “with the dwindling inventory, I believe new builds will become much stronger into next year”.
