Assignment
We were engaged by the owner of one of the biggest and most luxurious Phinisi yachts in the world to value one of their bespoke yachting assets. The yacht is famous among American celebrities and is consistently booked for the ensuing 24 months. This has prompted its owners - a respectable European family, to order the build of its twin, an exact replica, for sailing in another yachting hotspot. And to invite investors to co-own the second venture.
Our Approach
Outcome
We performed a detailed analysis on the recent financial performance of the existing Phinisi yacht and forecast every line item to prepare its sustainable cash flows. Further, given that this is a unique “heritage” type assets, ready comparables were not available. Hence, we needed to sift and select comparable transactions involving luxury yachts in order to benchmark the target yacht’s projected performance and make suitable adjustments for brand distinction and positioning.
This detailed analysis of the qualitative and quantitative elements affecting the business was fed into the valuation exercise. Every step of the process was transparently documented and resulted in a robust valuation of the yacht.
