Ancasta, Europe's leading yacht sales and services group, is concluding 2025 on a strong upward trajectory, reinforcing the resilience of its multi-brand business model during a period of wider economic uncertainty in the UK.

Following its most successful September on record, the company has continued to secure multiple high-value transactions across its comprehensive portfolio of new power and sailing yacht brands.

"Despite negative economic headwinds placing pressure on the leisure marine sector, we are experiencing a sustained rise in sales at a time of year that is traditionally very quiet," says Stuart Brotherton, Sales Network Director at Ancasta.

"What is particularly encouraging is that this momentum is evident across our entire portfolio, with Beneteau Power, Beneteau Sail, Lagoon and Prestige all delivering strong performance."

A notable highlight of the final quarter has been the confirmation of Ancasta's fourth Beneteau First 30 sale since its launch at boot Düsseldorf earlier this year. This achievement underscores both the strong appeal of the Beneteau First range in the UK and the brand's reputation for producing high-performance sailing yachts.

New boat sales exceeding £5 million in recent months represent only one aspect of Ancasta's market strength. The company is also seeing robust growth in premium brokerage listings, particularly within its bluewater, multihull, and race yacht categories - an indicator of continued client confidence and the breadth of Ancasta's specialist capabilities.

"2025 has certainly brought challenges, but our experienced team, the diversity of our yacht portfolio, and the scope of our yacht services businesses have enabled us to navigate the market with clarity and confidence," Brotherton continues. "These strengths place us in an excellent position as we move into 2026."

Ancasta's extensive brand offering includes Prestige, Beneteau Power and Sail, Lagoon Catamarans, Protector Boats and Contest Yachts, as well as Sanlorenzo and Bluegame through Sanlorenzo Yachts UK, an Ancasta Group company.

The Ancasta Group further encompasses PB Europe, Ancasta Yacht Services, Ancasta International Yacht Sales, Spencer Rigging, and Advanced Rigging & Hydraulics.
