Kitson Yachts Featured in SuperYacht Times: How an American brokerage firm is steering a new wave of yacht buyers in the US

Kitson Yachts is honored to be featured in SuperYacht Times: How an American brokerage firm is steering a new wave of yacht buyers in the US. Since its founding in 2021, Kitson Yachts has grown from a boutique Miami brokerage into a globally recognized brand, achieving nearly $200 million in off-market sales over the past six months and expanding its international presence with new offices in Miami’s Sunset Harbour and London.

The article highlights the firm’s forward-looking strategy, from its successful sales of Les Cinq, Project Primo, and the 88-metre Admiral Spyder, to its expanding charter division and its role in guiding American buyers through new fiscal advantages tied to the “Big Beautiful Bill.” These incentives are fueling unprecedented momentum in the U.S. yacht market—momentum Kitson Yachts is uniquely positioned to lead.

As Co-Founder Brandon Kummer notes, “Yachts are not only passion projects, but also business tools.” With a dedicated team, global reach, and a new hospitality space in Miami designed for client engagement, Kitson Yachts continues to set a new standard for brokerage excellence.

We’re excited to highlight ELIZABETH, a stunning 2022 Wajer 55S, part of our exclusive sales fleet and available for private viewings in Miami. Representing the pinnacle of Dutch craftsmanship, ELIZABETH offers a thrilling ride wrapped in a refined, minimalist design that turns heads in any harbor.

With low engine hours and impeccably maintained, ELIZABETH is a rare opportunity to acquire a nearly-new Wajer without the wait of a new build. Her sleek, walkaround layout and innovative folding wings make her ideal for day cruising or serving as a high-end chase tender. The smart layout below deck includes a full-beam master and a convertible salon, comfortably accommodating overnight stays for two to four guests.

Performance is at the heart of the 55S—triple Volvo Penta IPS drives offer a smooth, quiet, and efficient ride, with joystick maneuvering for effortless docking. Whether island-hopping in the Bahamas or entertaining along the Miami coastline, ELIZABETH delivers an unmatched experience on the water.

Contact us to arrange a private showing in Miami and see firsthand why the Wajer 55S continues to set the standard for luxury day boating.

A recent article by Luxury Launches highlights our latest new build project, Project Spyder, a cutting-edge superyacht designed for ultimate luxury and performance. The article details its innovative features, state-of-the-art technology, and design inspirations.

“The Italian Sea Group has unveiled the first glimpse inside the under-construction 289-foot Project Spyder, and my immediate thought was: What’s in a name? With a name like that, one would expect a sleek, aggressive machine. Its exterior delivers on that promise, with sharp silver lines and a dark-hued hull exuding power.

But step inside, and the contrast is striking, yet delightfully so. Far from a design inspired by its namesake, this five-decker is warm, inviting, and drenched in soft beige and pastels, bordering on a dollhouse aesthetic. A surprising choice? Perhaps.”

Kitson Yachts Highlights 2022

2022 saw the international travel industry return to pre-pandemic activity, with the yachting industry experiencing one of its busiest years on record. Although the year started on a positive note, the breakout of conflict in Ukraine at the end of February resulted in the seizure of multiple Russian-owned superyachts across the world. This, however, allowed an increase in demand from many of our US clients, who – encouraged by the strength of the dollar – dominated the sales and charter market this year.

To celebrate the end of another great year at Kitson Yachts, here are our top highlights:

Palm Beach International Boat Show

One of the highlights of the south Florida yachting calendar, the show was held on Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach and attracted a wide range of industry stakeholders and yacht clients to view over $1.2 billion worth of vessels on display – from tenders to superyachts. The team at Kitson Yachts welcomed multiple clients to the show, where we visited some of the industry’s most exciting vessels on the market.

Kitson Yachts Antibes Office

Kitson Yachts launched its European Headquarters in Antibes, with a team of sales and charter professionals.

Mediterranean Charter Success

Our charter team kicked off the 2022 summer season by attending the Mediterranean Charter Show in Greece and completed a number of successful charters on vessels ranging between 30m – 90m+ in St Tropez, Cannes, Monaco, Portofino, Amalfi Coast, Maldives and more.

Monaco Yacht Show 2022

Our team of charter and sales brokers attended this year’s Monaco Yacht Show – one of the most prestigious Superyacht events globally – where we showcased two yachts for sale: 44m Abeking & Rasmussen, Bravado and 44m Hakvoort, Big Easy. We also hosted a number of VIP clients to our exclusive cocktail party onboard Big Easy in conjunction with our partners, SuperyachtOne.

Visit To The Feadship Royal Van Lent Shipyard

As part of our ongoing new build projects, our team visited the Feadship Royal Van Lent Shipyard in Amsterdam to meet the team responsible for the construction of some of the industry’s most innovative superyachts.

The Atlantis resort is a premier destination in the Caribbean.

Charter in the Bahamas this Winter

The Bahamas is one of the world’s most popular destinations for charter. With a range of sublime beaches and crystal waters, it’s not hard to understand why.

Stroll along the pink sands of Harbour Island, explore Pablo Escobar’s sunken plane wreck, and swim with the famous pigs of the Exumas – these are just some of the Islands’ most exciting attractions.

We’ve pulled together some of our favourite destinations and activities in our sample itinerary, so that you can get a taste of your charter in Bahamas.

Day 1: Nassau – Horseshoe Bay

Relax as your yacht embarks on a picturesque cruise toward the Exuma island chain.

Enjoy lunch, al fresco, on the aft deck at the secluded Allen’s Cay and then head to Horseshoe Bay, which features a beautiful deserted beach and fabulous reef. You can also explore the nearby Exuma Sound, which offers amazing dive sites and fishing.

Day 2: Hammerhead Gulch – Norman’s Cay

Depart early this morning for the highly-rated Hammerhead Gulch where you can drift dive or enjoy a bit of snorkelling. After lunch, your yacht will set off for a world of adventure and intrigue with a visit to Norman’s Cay

Fishing enthusiasts can take to the water today, while beach lovers tender to Twinkie Beach. This charming stretch of beach is littered with sea shells, highlighted by a lone palm tree.

Day 3: Warderick Wells – Compass Cay

The old pirate’s hideaway of Warderick Wells is home to the skeleton of a 53-foot sperm whale and over 7 miles of hiking trails. Cruise south to snorkel in the Rocky Dundas, and, at the north end of Compass Cay, visit the famous natural whirlpool known as Rachel’s Bubble Bath.

Continue on through the inviting shallow waters of Pipe Creek to Big Major’s Spot, where you may be treated to a welcome by the famous swimming pigs.

Day 4: Staniel Cay

Enjoy breakfast while underway to Staniel Cay and the Thunderball Grotto this morning. Featured in the James Bond films, Thunderball and Never Say Never Again, the cave can be accessed via snorkel and, once inside, features breathtakingly colourful corals that glitter in the light. Fishing enthusiasts can get in one final morning on the water, whether bone, reef or deep-sea fishing.

Day 5: Staniel Cay – Rock Sound

After a leisurely breakfast, cruise to the beautiful island of Eleuthera, which boasts long stretches of pink sandy beaches and outcrops of coral reef inviting plenty of undersea exploration.

After navigating the Devil’s backbone, anchor in Rock Sound and try the local bakery’s key lime tarts – ideal for a tasty dessert or breakfast treat.

Day 6: Harbour Island & Dunmore Town

Explore Harbour Island and the charming Dunmore Town today, with its quaint shops, old churches, art galleries and beautiful gardens. Beach lovers must spend some time on the magnificent pink sand beaches. Golf cart rental is recommended for the day, in order to take in all of the sights of this popular island.

Day 7: Harbour Island – Nassau

Homemade Bahamian Bread is a must for breakfast today, along with a final stroll through the town for pictures and a bit of shopping. Then it’s back aboard for the return cruise to Nassau.
