The 115-metre Pelorus rejoined the brokerage market on Valentine's Day under a new joint central agency with Merle Wood of Merle Wood & Associates, Dominic Millman of Burgess and Alex Banning of SuperYachtsMonaco. Her re-entry to the market came with a major €25,000,000 reduction to her sales listing, marking one of the biggest price drops of the past year. Delivered in 2003, Pelorus was built under a trio of the most distinguished names in the industry: Lürssen, Tim Heywood and Terence Disdale. Up to 24 guests (or a dispensation of 36 guests) can enjoy an array of standout features on board, including two helipads, four pools, a Jacuzzi, a dedicated cinema room and a wellness centre with steam room and plunge pool.

Now asking: €185,000,000

Listed for sale with Ian Sherwood and Stéphanie Bosi of Burgess, Here Comes the Sun received a substantial €14,000,000 price drop just three days before the colossal price reduction on Pelorus. This major reduction to Here Comes the Sun's listing came only seven months after she was newly listed for sale in July 2024. At 89 metres, the custom superyacht was delivered in 2017 as the flagship of the Amels fleet, with an exterior and interior from design royalty Tim Heywood and Andrew Winch. A major rebuild in 2021 included a six-metre stern extension, the addition of a second helipad, an interior revamp and a full exterior repaint, all of which won her a Neptune for Best Rebuilt Yacht at the 2022 World Superyacht Awards.
