Summary

The European superyacht-building industry, which dominates global production of large private vessels, is facing significant challenges due to the war in Iran. While superyachts (boats over 24 meters) have become increasingly common in European waters over the past decade, geopolitical instability is now creating turbulent conditions for the industry.

Key quotes

Over the past decade superyachts, defined as any private boat over 24 metres long, have become as common as gulls at a fried-fish stand.
Europe is not only a playground for such craft; it is where most of them are built.
But the war in Iran has plunged the industry into stormy waters.
