Over 200 Yacht Reviews by DMA Yachting in the Mediterranean Reveal Exceptional Value in Greece

DMA Yachting's 2025 Yacht Show Evaluations in the Mediterranean

DMA Yachting has released its 2025 reviews of over 200 crewed yachts showcased in Greece and the Mediterranean. These evaluations reveal significant value opportunities within the industry, particularly in the segments of refitted motor yachts and newly launched catamarans.

DMA Yachting has identified several key findings from the 2025 yacht show evaluations:

Refitted Motor Yachts: These older yachts, following extensive refits, are often available at competitive prices while offering modern upgrades. New Catamarans: Entering their first seasons, these catamarans feature modern designs and amenities, with pricing often being more flexible. Quality Variation: While the condition and professionalism of yacht crews vary, overall standards are on the rise. Elevated Culinary Expectations: High-quality food and service are now standard, with smaller vessels matching or surpassing larger yachts in culinary offerings. Guest Expectations: Amenities such as water toys and adaptable service for diverse needs are increasingly expected. Cruising Preferences: There is a noticeable shift towards the Ionian and Dodecanese regions, influenced by weather and the pursuit of authentic experiences.

According to yacht charter broker John Boullin, while the overall market is not becoming more affordable, particular segments are presenting exceptional value. Refitted motor yachts and new catamarans offer a compelling combination of modern features and competitive pricing.

Martina Asmus, another yacht charter broker, emphasizes the importance of proven performance in yacht selection. New yachts need time to establish their reputation, but those with clear potential and strategic pricing are recommended to clients.
