The five biggest superyacht price drops of March

According to BOATPro, there are over 1,200 superyachts currently listed for sale, with the total value of price reductions in March reaching €93.25 million from 96 drops. BOAT takes a closer look at five of this month's biggest price drops, starting with one of two recently reduced 60-metre sisterships...

1. Moonstone - circa €10,500,000 price drop

Length: 60m
Builder: Amels
Now asking: $69,900,000

Moonstone was the first of two Amels 200 Limited Edition motor yachts to receive a price drop to their sales listings this month, both of which took place on the same day in March. Listed for sale with Damon Smallwood of Superyacht Sales and Charter, the 60-metre Dutch build was previously listed for €74,900,000, before a currency change and major reduction of circa €10,500,000 was announced. Delivered in 2021, Moonstone is the second unit in the Amels series, penned by design legend Tim Heywood, with naval architecture by Damen Yachting and a bright and inviting interior design from Luxury Projects. According to her brokers, "not a detail was spared in creating the second of the Amels 200."

2. Atomic - $8,100,000 price drop

Length: 63.7m
Builder: Viareggio Superyachts
Now asking: $49,900,000

Listed for sale with Mark Elliott of IYC, the 63.7-metre Atomic received a substantial $8,100,000 price drop only five days into the month, bringing the total sum of reductions to a staggering $18,100,000 since she first entered the market. Constructed in Italy and delivered in 2020, the Espen Øino-designed motor yacht is frequently recognised for her fully-equipped dive centre and eye-catching "Monaco Red" infinity spa pool (that is also iridescent and glass-bottomed). Her modern-chic interiors are from Franck Darnet Design, able to accommodate up to 17 guests across six cabins. 

3. Stella M - €6,000,000 price drop

Length: 60.1m
Builder: Amels
Now asking: €71,500,000

She may have been the first Amels 200, but Stella M's price reduction came hours behind her Dutch sistership and successor Moonstone. The 60.1-metre received a significant price drop of €6,000,000 to her sales listing with Richard Lambert of Burgess, offered to the market in "immaculate condition" having had only one single season of private use since her launch. Penned in the UK with exteriors from Tim Heywood and interiors from Reymond Langton Design, a standout feature of Stella M is her ode to health and wellness, with amenities on board including a pool, wellness centre, gym and massage room on the sundeck, alongside a sauna and steam shower in the beach club.

4. Samurai - €4,500,000 price drop

Length: 60.2m
Builder: Alia Yachts
Now asking: €39,500,000

A price reduction of €4,500,000 was announced mid-March on the Turkish-built motor yacht Samurai, listed for sale with Frank Grzeszczak Sr of FGI Yacht Group. Designed by expert trio Omega Architects, Van Oossanen Naval Architects and RWD, the 60.2-metre houses a generous beach club with port side balcony, an expansive swim platform and a gym, in addition to the exceptionally large sundeck complete with Jacuzzi. Accommodation is for 12 guests across six versatile cabins, the highlight of which is the 87.1-square-metre owner’s suite that benefits from an architectural skylight.

5. Florentia - €4,000,000 price drop

Length: 52m
Builder: Rossinavi
Now asking: €44,000,000

The 2020-delivered Rossinavi motor yacht Florentia saw €4,000,000 deducted from her sales listing with Rytis Babravicius and Jelena Vezia of Ocean Independence. Listed on the market for the first time since launch, Florentia is characterised by her "romantic", sinuous exterior (courtesy of Stefano Vafiadis) and her A++ Carlo Colombo interiors, inspired by "forms of nature". Accommodation is for 12 guests across six cabins, including a main-deck master suite with a balcony, and a forward-facing VIP cabin on the upper deck.
