Why Buyers Are Going Bigger, Younger & Faster

Episode 18

Tuesday, July 21, 2026 • Duration 10:07

The profile of the yacht owner is changing. Today's buyers are entering the market younger, purchasing larger yachts earlier, and approaching ownership with entirely different expectations than previous generations.

In this episode, IYC Sales Consultant Leo Jordil explores how modern wealth is reshaping the brokerage market, from the rise of tech entrepreneurs and global buyers to the growing demand for experience-led ownership. We discuss why many owners are skipping the traditional "working your way up" approach, what drives the decision to move into a larger yacht, and why the relationship with a trusted broker becomes even more valuable over time.

The Digital Shift: Data, Speed, and the Reinvention of Client Experience

Episode 9

Wednesday, May 6, 2026 • Duration 12:21

Yachting has always been built on relationships, intuition, and exclusivity—but a quiet transformation is underway. In this episode, IYC Chairman Stefanos Makrymichalos joins us to explore how data, digital platforms, and evolving client expectations are reshaping the industry from the inside out.

We look beyond tools and technology to ask a deeper question: what does it really mean to become a digital-first yachting business? From broker-client relationships powered by platforms like MyIYC, to operational efficiency through BLUE, and a more transparent charter journey with RESERVE, we unpack how technology is redefining service, trust, and decision-making.

The conversation also challenges the industry’s resistance to change, the growing importance of speed and adaptability as competitive advantages, and whether a new generation of clients will fundamentally shift how yachting is experienced and delivered.
