Engel & Völkers Yachting is further expanding its market position in the Mediterranean region with a new shop in Monaco. "The Principality is one of the most important yachting centres in the world and has two renowned marinas, Port Hercule and the port of Fontvieille," says Anissa Mediouni, Managing Director of Engel & Völkers Yachting, emphasising the importance of the new location. The Engel & Völkers Yachting shop is located on Quai Jean-Charles Rey and therefore directly on the Port de Fontvieille.
Industry events such as the Monaco Yacht Show emphasise the Principality's role as an international yachting hotspot. "Many of our potential customers are regularly in Monaco for business or pleasure and our new yachting shop enables us to provide them with on-site support," says Anissa Mediouni. In addition to buying and selling yachts, the Engel & Völkers Yachting team's range of services also includes assistance with new builds and refits as well as the charter business.
According to Mediouni, the charter segment in particular is currently enjoying growing demand. In the Mediterranean region, the charter season runs from May to September. It reaches its peak in the summer months of July and August. The majority of interested parties begin their search for a suitable yacht in March and April. The latest and most sought-after models are often fully booked a year in advance. Yachts between 40 and 50 metres in length, with high-quality equipment, plenty of space and a professional crew, are in high demand.
