The world of large yachts is on the upswing. The Monaco Yacht Show once again provided the best indication of this. The event at Port Hercule has always been a trade fair of superlatives, but this year the selection of large formats surpassed everything that has gone before.

The show organisation estimated the value of the 121 yachts on display at around 4.8 billion euros! Not counting the 50 or so XXL formats (including "Octopus", "Flying Fox", "Barbara" etc.) that were vying for the favour of UHNWI buyers and charterers in the bay of Roquebrune at the gates of the Principality.

Few people know the yacht market as well as Burgess CEO Jonathan Beckett. The industry insider gave us fascinating insights into the constantly changing charter and sales market during an interview at the company's headquarters in London. His conclusion: a few trendsetters can have a positive influence on the entire industry.

Our cover star "Amadea" is undoubtedly one of the most detailed yachts I have been able to visit over the last fifteen years. The sheer boundless wealth of refinement is unrivalled! The tour of the six decks of the 106 metre-long Espen-Øino design made it clear that nothing is impossible in the world of superyachts. Incidentally, "Amadea" is for sale, you can read the yacht portrait in this issue!

For sailing fans, I recommend the refreshing review of the 30th Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup off Porto Cervo by BOOTE EXCLUSIV author Svante Domizlaff, who has been part of the illustrious Maxi scene for many years as a crew member of the German Wally racer "y3k".

Martin Hager

Editor in Chief YACHT

Martin Hager is editor-in-chief of the titles YACHT and BOOTE EXCLUSIV and has been working for Delius Klasing Verlag for 20 years. He was born in Heidelberg in 1978 and started sailing at the age of six, in an Opti of course. This was soon followed by 420s, Sprinta Sport and 470s, which he also sailed on the regatta course with his brother. His parents regularly took him on charter trips through the Greek and Balearic Islands. Even at a young age, it was clear to him that he wanted to turn his passion for water sports into a career. After graduating from high school and completing an internship at the Rathje boatbuilding company in Kiel, it was clear that he did not want to become a classic boatbuilder. Instead, he successfully studied shipbuilding and marine engineering in the Schleswig-Holstein state capital and focused on yacht design wherever he could. His diploma thesis dealt with the “Testing of a new speed prediction method for sailing yachts”. In 2004, the superyacht magazine BOOTE EXCLUSIV was looking for an editor with technical and nautical background knowledge, a position that was perfect for Martin Hager. The application was successful and a two-year traineeship was arranged. After twelve years as an editor, the editorial team changed and he took over responsibility for BOOTE EXCLUSIV as editor-in-chief in 2017. After long-time YACHT editor-in-chief Jochen Rieker moved to the role of publisher, Martin Hager also took over the position of editor-in-chief of Europe's largest sailing magazine YACHT, which is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year, at the beginning of 2023. When he's not working on topics for the two water sports titles, Martin Hager likes to go out on the water himself - preferably with kite and wingfoil equipment or on a little after-work trip across the Alster.
