JamesList announces growth of charter market

Exhibiting at the 2011 Antibes Yacht Show, the online luxury marketplace, JamesList announced that it had reported a 30 per cent increase in its charter yacht market, with superyachts in the Mediterranean proving the most popular enquiry.


The site features over 2,000 sailing and motor yachts, from 84m vessels worth €69 million, to project builds such as the Perini Navi Salute and charter offerings such as Attimo and Crazy Too.

The concept is a divergence from traditional brokerage practices and shows a tentative trend developing: luxury lifestyle companies entering the superyacht market. This is something that Quintessentially, the luxury concierge service has already embarked upon, by offering its clients superyacht charter opportunities.

“The yacht charter segment is recovering and showing robust growth. Renewed financial confidence coupled with recognition of the smart economics of charter are leading to strong demand,” said Noam Perski, CEO and co-founder of JamesList. “Although confidence in the sales market is returning slowly, our data shows that UHNWIs are turning to charter rather than ownership at this stage.”
