What Abys Yachting does

Abys Yachting is a private luxury yacht brokerage and distributor founded in 1997 and headquartered in Antibes, France, with additional offices in Monaco and Saint-Tropez. The company serves ultra-high-net-worth individuals on the French Riviera and broader Mediterranean, facilitating the purchase of new and pre-owned luxury yachts, charter with crew, berth sales, yacht management, and related services including financing, registration, insurance, and after-sales support. The firm operates a team of approximately 20 experts and maintains a curated presence at major international boat shows across Europe and the United States.

Abys Yachting holds exclusive French importer and distributor rights for four Ferretti Group brands — Ferretti Yachts (flybridge and explorer yachts from 15m to 30m+), Pershing (carbon-fiber open sport yachts and the GTX sport utility line, from 17m to 43m), Custom Line (customizable superyachts over 30m in the Navetta displacement and Saetta lines), and Mochi Craft. The underlying product portfolio features advanced nautical engineering including carbon fiber hulls, surface propellers, gyroscopic stabilizers, integrated solar panels, and high-MTU propulsion. Pricing spans approximately €1.7M for a pre-owned Pershing 62 to €18.95M+ for flagship models such as the Riva 130 Bellissima.

The business model combines one-time transactional revenue from yacht sales (new and pre-owned), transaction fees on yacht charter and berth sales, recurring management contracts, and professional service fees. Customer acquisition is driven by high-touch enterprise field sales, international boat show presence, digital marketing through the company website and social channels, and curated partnerships with luxury brands such as Perrier-Jouët, Roger Dubuis, Lamborghini, and Longines. The firm is a member of MYBA, ECPY, CYBA, and the Fédération des Industries Nautiques, and has received multiple Ferretti Group worldwide sales performance awards.
